I remember with great affection the time when the word “investors” was only part of a boring adult vocabulary that I would never have to understand. But the world has insisted that, if we want to understand even the slightest bit how the film or video game business works, we embrace the concept: investors happy because movies are destroyed, investors happy because people are fired, investors happy because they get what they want… Well, those things. The key to the matter: the happiness of gentlemen who are already millionaires when they earn more millions.
The Dogma of Money
For Capcom investors, happiness has had a name: Dragon’s Dogma 2. And it’s because the game has sold much better than expected (over 2.5 million units in eleven days), which has allowed, of course, to invest it in new games… Just kidding! In giving more money to investors and shareholders! What a scare, huh?!
Capcom also highlights the success of ‘Street Fighter VI‘ and, in general, the benefits that the programmers’ work has brought (who, by the way, will not receive this bonus). The good news in this obscene capitalist party is that they are probably already preparing to make DLC for ‘Dragon’s Dogma 2’ with the intention of entertaining the players… No! So that next year the investors can earn even more! This is the dynamic now!
