In 2025, Monster Hunter fell prey to profit

Capcom's Monster Hunter Wilds sold 8 million copies within three days of its release, making it the fastest-selling title in the company's history. However, the game's review ratings on Steam fluctuated between Mixed and Mostly Negative due to performance issues, leading to a drop in sales from 10 million at launch to fewer than 500,000 in a single quarter. Capcom's net sales fell by 24.7% year-over-year and profits dropped nearly 40%. The company has introduced 190 microtransaction items for the game, while significant improvements to its optimization are not expected until February.

Monster Hunter Wilds is barely hanging onto Capcom’s top 10 current best sellers and officially lost to Monster Hunter Rise, which notably didn’t wait months for PC fixes

Performance issues are affecting many players of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC, which is the game's largest sales platform. Capcom reported that Monster Hunter Rise has surpassed Wilds in sales rankings, with Wilds dropping from 10 million to under 500,000 copies sold in three months, now at 477,000 copies, while Rise has sold 389,000. Wilds has received negative reviews on Steam, currently holding a "Mostly Negative" label with 48% positive ratings. Capcom is working on CPU and GPU optimizations to address these performance issues. Despite Wilds having a larger active player base on Steam, the sales figures show a decline, and if optimizations do not improve the situation, Wilds may face further challenges. The lead producer of Monster Hunter acknowledges the growing engagement of PC gamers with Japanese games.

The Minecraft devs probably wouldn’t add the creeper if they were following their current design rules ‘because it would actually be so controversial’

The developers at Mojang indicate that if they strictly followed their current design principles, the iconic creeper from Minecraft might not have been created. Modern Minecraft emphasizes a player-centric approach with principles such as being fair to players, attributing bad outcomes to player actions, finding the right level of destruction, and avoiding features that disrupt players' builds. This contrasts with games like Dragon's Dogma 2, which embrace unpredictability and chaotic player interactions. Mojang's choice to avoid introducing new elements similar to the creeper reflects a focus on player experience, despite the nostalgia and appreciation for the chaos the creeper represents.
