Uh? Do people not normally get raises regularly? At least to keep up with inflation?
Welcome to late stage capitalism! Where we pat them on the back and say "wow what a great company" for doing what was standard 50 years ago
Cost of living, yes, and if you’re a solid performer, 3% is considered good. However, this is a 5% across the board, and a large increase to entry level.
Cost of living in Japan has seriously spot up lately, and the government has been pressuring companies to raise salaries. So I’m glad to see Capcom doing this.
I used to work in private companies and any annual pay increase was whatever the union managed to negotiate for. It was usually between 1% - 3%. I quit after they moved the office to another city and required everyone to be at the office even though the people I worked with were in different countries. My current job is a government one and for as long as I have worked here I have gotten an annual raise of 10% - 20% and the working conditions are so much better. I'm never working in a private company again.
No Capcom that's not what we're doing atm. Please call EA asap
The Japanese government has been forcing companies to give out raises. The fact that Capcom is announcing theirs this late is sus.
They can't legally perform layoffs in Japan, but they can make it really lucrative for you to leave.
So an annual raise? I've got those at every job I have ever had. That's not some gracious thing. If you don't get an annual pay increase, or if your annual pay increase is less than the inflation rate, you are getting a pay decrease.
As long as they can make games that look current gen for once, which they never do. They always have the worst character models, they look like a bad mix of anime and cg
that's part of the charm
I wish they'd modernize. Megaman is a great example, it's my favorite series, but why in the 2020s are we still getting side scrolling and even 8 bit megaman games? I would LOVE a Ratchet and Clank style, modern platformer Megaman that looks every bit as good as a modern AAA game. Imagine a megaman game that looks as good as Ratchet and Clank or even Mario Odyssey, where you can go to different parts of the city under attack by the different bosses!
My raging attraction to Rathalos and like half the other Monster Hunter creatures vehemently disagrees
I'm not gonna touch some of that comment, but yeah, MonHun creature and character design and animation are some of the best in the biz, no question.
