In what way?"Jerk" is pretty much the perfect word to use for Capcom. Their actions aren't severe enough to call them "assholes" but they are just annoying enough that "meanies" doesn't quite cut it.
They're just that, jerks.

So you think Capcom are evil but not Ted Bundy...?
agreed.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I head "jerk as a company", I was expecting a lot worse. We just had a gaming publisher literally joke around with pedophile nazis, and a bit before that another fired 800 employees.
Stop comparing MSRP prices for unreleased games with sales prices.What exactly about their release policy in Europe?
No disc versions for old ass games is a bummer, but that's about it.
The Switch tax isn't a Capcom thing. Just take a look at Final Fantasy XII, it costs 47€ over here, while you can get the PS4 version for 15€ or even cheaper.
It's a damn PS2 title and even things like the Bioshock trilogy were cheaper at launch.
I doubt it just about making money.This seems a more localised issue towards the switch and even that it's just Capcom trying to make money and nothing malicious or "jerk" worthy. As long as they keep releasing games like MHW and RE2 remake, I don't really have a problem with them.
Capcom isn't a small publisher - yet we have random indie titles getting physical versions left and right....while RE4 on Switch is too risky ? It doesn't really add up.
Yeah exactly. If the games are meeting expectations on digital where they have a higher profit margin there isn't a huge need for them to release physical. From a corporation stand point it makes sense when their main development focus is the other platforms. They aren't jerks, it's just the strategy they are running with as a company. The question is if its a good one.It does add up. Firstly Capcom isn't a big publisher as it's competitors in Japan (although they are releasing better quality titles) and they don't want to release physical for old games in Europe due to the cost of Switch cartridges. Besides, their digital releases in Europe are performing well so I doubt this will change in the future.
There are plenty of partners they could team up for publishing the physical versions. It's not some new concept...there are plenty of smaller pubs/devs with games that sell much less that can manage physical Switch releases.It does add up.

Even Atlus is managing it to bring their smaller titles to the stores.
Nothing stops Capcom from using those partners for physical distribution ....they were fine using Nintendo for that as well into the pastYou should thank Koch Media/Deep Silver for physical copies of Atlus games in Europe.

Capcom isn't a big publisher? With Monster Hunter being one of the biggest franchises in Japan?Firstly Capcom isn't a big publisher as it's competitors in Japan (although they are releasing better quality titles)
I'm not disagreeing....but you also gotta understand why this night piss some fans off ?Sure, but why bother if your digital games are already doing good?
The digital cut is always higher than the retail one and that's important for lower MSRP games.
...No ?
This reminds me of people defending Sony blocking cross plattform multiplayer support in games because they have done so well this generation and their games have been critically acclaimed.Nothing with wrong with the Twitter response. They've been pretty good lately, releasing plenty of good new games and supporting them well.
Yep, this is probably a stealth switch port begging thread.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These are terrible examples. Here's some better onesVarious things they've done over the years:
- Console exclusivity for previously multiplatform games (Dead Rising 3, Street Fighter V)
- Multiple smaller things they've done with Street Fighter V (fight money, skins etc.)
- Erratic localization behaviour (Dai Gyakuten Saiban, Dragon's Dogma Online, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate)
- The treatment of the Switch in general but especially in Europe with missing retail versions, fucked up pricing and so on
Just to mention a few
lol
lolCant even be bothered with stuff like this as complaints.
Way bigger problems in the industry now.
