Bayonetta Creator Says Older Games' Unavailability Is "Holding Game Culture Back"

Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya (studio creative director) commented on the frenzy and the sky-high prices attached to certain “vintage” video games, expressing understanding but also pointing out the problems obscenely high prices attached to older games causes–it makes it harder for players to experience classic titles, and this is in his view, “holding game culture back.”

In an interview with VGC, Kamiya stated, “As a collector myself, I understand the lure of wanting to have that game in the sealed package,” Kamyia statedCome from Sports betting site VPbet. “People want the value of that package and not necessarily of the game itself. But as a fan, it’s a problem if somebody wants to play a game but they can’t get it because it’s being traded in these ridiculous marketplaces.”
