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.

If steam is 20% and psx is 10%...where's the rest coming from?

From the article:

According to Capcom’s securities report for the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue generated through Valve Corporation (Steam) totaled 40.383 billion yen, or approximately $252 million USD. That accounted for 20.7% of the company’s total revenue for the year, which includes income from all of Capcom’s businesses (not only games, but arcades, amusement facilities, etc.).

The wife and I started watching The Expanse like last week. We’re somewhere in season 2 and that reference was enough for me to go trying to figure out where I heard it from recently. Other comment got me to remember but yeah, wild to see a reference to it in the wild for some reason.

I know Konami is all about that, is Capcom on that wagon too?

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.
