Capcom to give out a free game everyday in 2013

If you are a fan of games that have come out of the factory at Capcom, or just fans of free stuff, then you are in luck. Capcom have today announced that they will be giving away one game every weekday…for the remainder of 2013

Before everyone gets excited

Read the article

What a joke.

I can't believe how misleading the article header is.

You have to go on the website and show activity by posting messages on the forums, etc to get points which you can then use to enter a raffle for a slight chance of winning a prize.

You're going to put your time and effort doing this for a slim chance of winning a game?

I would rather take an extra shift at work. make money and buy a game.

WHAT A JOKE AND HOW DID THIS GET APPROVED!

Son of a blee blop.

Capcom's giving out a free game every day - TO ONE PERSON IN A ******** RAFFLE!!!

1Victor4510d ago

here is what important "Today's raffle is 300 points per ticket, though that amount can change if we have something particularly cool or rare to give away." Last time I check a paid for RAFFLE ticket is not a a give away

HammadTheBeast4510d ago

Capcom + Generous = Insta-Scam.

clrlite4510d ago

That's what I was thinking, but you worded it so well.

zerocrossing4511d ago (Edited 4511d ago )

With the way Capcom handles DLC they can afford too.

(edit)

Ohh, so it's a raffle? well who really thought "Capcom" was gonna give stuff away anyway.

Furesis4510d ago

well obviously you did lol :D

The word "Free" needs to be banned from advertising...

@those who don't read the article:
In this case "free" applies to anyone who's registered at their forum, is an active member who gets points for being so, and then spend said earned points on a daily raffle.

In other words, "free" is something you have to work for, with no real honest assurance of reward.

Myst4511d ago

I knew it! *throws hat on the ground*

smashman984510d ago

or you can register your capcom games which give you unity points

also they aren't making anyone work for anything if YOU want to got out of your way to earn a game from them the option is there, however they have a dedicated fanbase that goes on the forums everyday who will continue to do so and have a chance to win a game while they are at it

Godmars2904510d ago

The point is its still not free.

It would be different if they randomly picked active forum members, someone who'd posted within say 24 hours of the selection, but they want extra effort in addition to just being on the forum. And there there's an element of chance. Someone can and likely will sign up and post every day because of this announcement and wind up not getting anything.

I guess Crapcom wants our souls...

Capcom reveals its PC game [digital] sales overshadow console, and it's only growing

The earnings reports of Capcom's Fiscal year 2024 showcase the growth of PC over console, with 60% of game sales being made on the former.

Vits23d ago

What’s interesting is that, given how well their games sell, it’s very likely most of them fall into the 25/75 revenue split bracket. The larger ones, like Monster Hunter, are in the 20/80 bracket.

So even accounting for the vastly superior regional pricing on PC, I wouldn’t be surprised if revenue-wise from digital sales, both platforms are close, or if PC is ahead as well.

neutralgamer199222d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Yes PC is the biggest platform and it has definitely improved as a home console of sort plug and play. It's the only platform with actual freedom for gamers with modding. I was a console gamer for over 38 years and now I only play on Pc. Whether you are buying pre-built or building it yourself it's now easier than ever before to jump in

And my experience with pc gamers has been excellent, they are helpful with any questions on pc boards

FPS_D3TH22d ago

As a gamer who also loves replaying his old favorite titles, possibly with a few mods as well, I can’t imagine ever getting another console.

Profchaos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

They spoke about resident evil and monster hunter I would actually find the monster hunter breakdown more interesting tbh as I've always felt like this game would be at home on PC

but for resident evil it's always felt like a PlayStation mainstay despite having exclusivity elsewhere likely because it was where I first played it. The game feels like it's begging to be played lights off in the loungeroom late at night or also in VR I've never been as scared as I was playing re7 in VR

dveio22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Is this really suprising? Looking at the evolution of the Switch, X|S and Playstation 5?

Eonjay22d ago

The biggest cause is probably the lack of game purchases on the Xbox platform. Also keep in mind this is only digital sales so there is a chunk of sales not being shown here.
