I stopped over to Capcom to check out what our favorite man -- VP Sven -- is doing.

His blog is about Capcom pre-paid credit cards.

I am not sure if the company is innovative or insane at this point.

capcom just wants money.
they really dont care about the actual games anymore

It's a debit card.

This whole downloadable content is disgusting me, I'm not looking for a MH3 on my Wii until Capcom out grows this .

I watched a friend pay 4 USD for extra colors for characters in Street Fighter IV, just before he told me that Capcom mentioned 2 downloadable characters and another friend pointed out two slots missing in the command list section where you select which character you want to learn about.

Whatever happened to releasing the packaged goods, at this point I don't want a Wii storage solution as the function wont be viewed as convenient for the consumer but abusable by the producer.

This is mainly why PC gaming wasn't for me. V_V P2P

Wait a second, its not really a debit card, you have to transfer funds into your capcom account..........Capcom just became a bank!

No more so than Nintendo is with its "Wii points."

The difference is you can use the capcom card ANYWHERE visa is accepted. Read there whole benefits thing. You can't use your wii points at a fast food restaurant.

I know this will sound stupid, but is that SF4 thing for real? It's just too hard to imagine...

That's the biggest BS I've ever heard with regards to DLC. Ever. That's why I hate DLC! Too many developers abuse it.

WoW, I briskly skimmed the article, but the way it sounds to me is that you can use it like a debit card to buy anything, not just Capcom stuff. Either way, what does Capcom gain from this? Unlike credit cards where companies make money off of any debt you accumulate, this is just a pay and go option...

Tbh when Sony/Microsoft started trouting games that were incomplete and had to be patched AFTER purchase it's a problem.

...When you're using something thats SUPPOSE to add "fun" to a game as a means to finish the product, it's only a matter of time before you start seeing the financial protenial of doing it.

I really like the way 2k handled the DLC for GTAVI. It makes it feel like it's bringing some MEAT to the game you already have, not simply adding a missing piece.

Yeah, that's the way it sounds.

Honestly this looks to be a pretty sweet deal, however there has to be some catch.
