"You'll no longer have to pay $50 to stream the next Capcom Cup event live but it won't be free. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 had another big night at the DICE Summit Awards in Las Vegas. And Sega is swallowing a $220 million write-down on its mobile gaming acquisition. Ouch! It's the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku's daily roundup of gaming news, rumors, and culture. What was your favorite reveal from yesterday's big PlayStation showcase? It felt a bit light to me overall but a new Castlevania later this year is all I really need."
""At the time of the initial announcement, pricing was set based on the domestic Japanese benchmark of the Street Fighter League single-day live viewing ticket, which was priced at ¥4,000," the head of Capcom's esports division, Tetsuya Tabuchi, said in a new broadcast. "However, after reviewing pricing structures and cost-of-living standards across a wide range of global content, we have re-evaluated the pricing to ensure that fans around the world can more easily enjoy the event. As a result, we have set unified pricing for both Japanese and English broadcasts.""
Capcom reduced the Capcom Cup finals livestream multi-day pay-per-view bundle from $50 to $10 and standardized pricing for Japanese and English broadcasts. Tetsuya Tabuchi said pricing was originally based on a ¥4,000 domestic benchmark and was re-evaluated to account for global cost-of-living differences. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 won five categories at the DICE Summit, including Game of the Year. Sega recorded a $220 million write-down related to a mobile gaming acquisition. Netflix's Terminator Zero anime was canceled after one season despite decent reviews. A recent PlayStation showcase felt light, though a new Castlevania is scheduled for later this year.
