A "risk"? Interesting. Clearly there was some expectation for the game that looks to not be met. Perhaps Japan legs?
I don't think Western gamers are going to be as receptive to the DLC stuff Capcom likes to do with their MH games too.
I guess what shareholders fear is that sales of future entries are going to drop sharply and that they're not gonna be able to maintain yearly releases. I am not sure how justified those fears are.
Well that's the nature of stock trading.
I doesn't really mean much if Capcom's bottom line figures are fine.
And people taking stocks as the gospel in the Nintendo thread. The market is incredibly fickle and investors might be spooked because expectations are high after initial World sales on consoles but nothing really following that bar PC release. Who the hell knows really.
Maybe they're worried about MHW PC and MHXX US cannibalizing each other's sales? I was planning on getting both but now that they're coming out 3 weeks apart I have to choose one over the other. Maybe I'm overestimating things since they are on separate platforms.

I can't see the PC port doing as well as they hoped with that late release at full price. Here's hoping it's a quality port, at least.
They're not wrong in the lack of legs. Be it in terms of sales or playerbase, it really dropped.
That's worrying of course, but that's still stupid.
Capcom should announce their plans for a big expansion soon, and say to investors what is the DAU.
Well, the DLC model of world is just downright shit. I guess under a GaaS perspective the game is not doing exactly well and is declining sales.
Yes, not releasing G-rank with the pc release is a big big risk. Tbh this doesn't make any sense.
Also lol lunch break is op.

I think that the development costs for that game must've been so steep, that they literally have to sell millions upon millions of copies just to make a profit.

Popularity dying down sixth months after its release is their metrix? What do they expect, exactly?
Lol, I don't believe that at all.Game is already past 8M. It's like Capcoms best selling game.
Probably because Cap is treating the game like a standard release instead of keeping the game alive with constant updates. The cross over characters are not enough. They should have had a raid in this game a long time ago, Expansions announced, etc. think out the box.
You gotta be ready to support games like this for the long haul. Best mp game this year imo, but it got old fast.

It's worth noting that Capcom stock pretty much doubled the past year (from Jul 2017) so the expectations where sky high so 11% isn't that crazy.
Honestly, this says more about the investors than Capcom themselves.
