    With digital platforms like Steam allowing games to continue selling for years following launch, accumulated revenue from catalogue titles has become one of Capcom’s crucial sources of profit, and has indirectly enabled Capcom to invest in rebooting previously dormant IPs.

    It doesn’t hurt that their games typically aren’t a million hours long either. Before Village came out, I could play through Resident Evil 1-7 in a couple of months without rushing.

    It’s probably because they come on sale so often. I have a few games from them I haven’t installed yet. It’s hard to resist 5 dollar classics.
