Capcom's president and chief operating officer has said he thinks game prices should go up.

Haruhiro Tsujimoto made the comments at this year's Tokyo Game Show, Nikkei reported. TGS is sponsored by the Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association, a Japanese organisation which aims to support the Japanese industry, which Tsujimoto is currently the chairman of.

"Personally, I feel that game prices are too low," Tsujimoto said, citing increasing development costs and a need to increase wages.

As long as my country gets regional pricing I don't care, raise them in the US all you want they have plenty of money.

Right, we're all millionaires over here. Yup, not living paycheck to paycheck at all! No sir!

And the fun part is, you've still had a decades long lifestyle of having low prices by exploiting weak labour laws in poor countries! And if they raise prices by using your local labour you'll still cry capitalism. Isn't it fun?
