resident evil veronica just cost you a fortune: Capcom just dropped the $40 “proof” you didn’t ask for
The video game industry has a new way to drain your wallet, and it’s wearing the skin of a classic. Capcom recently pushed out a surprise release of a high-definition port for the 2000 survival horror title, and fans are not just scared—they’re angry. The price tag of $39.99 for a game that originally launched over two decades ago has sparked outrage, with many calling it a “lazy cash grab.” For you, the consumer, this isn’t just about one game. This sets a dangerous precedent that publishers can re-sell you old titles without any meaningful remastering or quality-of-life fixes. Your daily life is affected every time you see a 20-year-old game hitting the store shelves (or digital storefronts) for nearly the cost of a brand-new AAA title. If you bite, you’re telling them this pricing is acceptable, and next week it will be another classic demanding a full retail price for zero effort. Keep your cash in your pocket unless they actually remaster the game, not just the marketing.
