Don't like $70 games? The publisher of Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom, suggests waiting five years, and they'll all be $5.

Capcom has outlined its 'basic strategy' for pricing new games, which includes slashing the price tag down to $10 or $5 after five years or so.

The Resident Evil publisher mentioned this during its fiscal year.

Capcom aims to 'maximize the unit sales volume and profit' for newly released games over a five-year period.

While only an outline, Capcom's basic strategy for pricing titles begins at launch when games are sold for about $60.

Over time, they gradually reduce the price according to market value.

The publisher explains that after about five years, it will typically reduce the cost of a game to $10 and then $5.

Capcom says it gave Monster Hunter World a price reduction last year and offered the game for $9.

99.

Alongside the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds, the price reduction led to significantly increased sales for the game.

However, looking at Capcom's listings reveals a slightly different picture.

Resident Evil 7 and Dead Rising 4, both seven-year-old games, aren't normally priced at $10 or $5.

Both are regularly on sale, though, and you can grab both for the price of an expensive cup of coffee right now.

So, Capcom might have been referring to discounts rather than permanent price reductions.

Either way, the message is the same: wait long enough, and you can get your $70/$60 games for cheap.

There's more than enough to play in the meantime.

Resident Evil creators say not to expect a new Dino Crisis since Monster Hunter has 'nailed down' the 'awesomeness of dinosaurs.

' Monster Hunter Wilds took over five years to make, partly because Monster Hunter World blew up so hard that Capcom had to figure out what all these new fans would want.
