Bionic Commando: Rearmed duurder op de PC
De game moet op Xbox Live 800 punten gaan kosten, op de PlayStation 3 $9,99 en op de PC $ 14,99. Bij navraag waarom de game $ 5 duurder is op de PC, gaf Capcom aan dat dit niet te maken heeft met de grotere piraterij op de PC, maar met het feit dat de duurdere prijs beter past bij het platform. De consumenten betalen blijkbaar al vaak meer voor vergelijkbare games op de PC en er zijn extra kosten door royalties van de digitale aanbieders.
It has nothing to do with Piracy concerns. It has to do with different business terms/expectations in that sector and more importantly, generally prevailing pricing of PC digital games versus their console counterparts.[...]
Another consideration is that our distribution costs as a percentage are, on average, slightly higher on PC than console. In several cases wehave another party (beyond just the distribution portals) taking an extra bite, driving down our share of the revenue. For example,affiliate sites of our portal partners take a well earned slice of revenue for every sale, then the portal gets its cut, then we get ours. Three mouths to feed.
$14.99 represents an appropriate price for the platform and you should probably expect our PC pricing to always be slightly higher than the console equivalent in this space.
