Considering how well their games are doing I will just say it is well deserved.
That's fantastic to hear! Capcom has been on a huge winning streak in recent years when it comes to the quality of the games they've been releasing and gotta reward those that are putting in the work to make these games. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Pragmata is all about next year.
That's amazing! Good stuff Capcom! ......now when a publisher tries to buy them out Capcom will increase their price by 30% lol jk
Capcom has been on a really good streak lately, so this well deserved for everyone there. All of the recent RE titles, and Monster Hunter games, have been soaring both in sales and in gamer reception :)
Thats a large raise.
bonus system sounds good pushes them to make a better game knowning is a pot of gold at the end
Business performance would imply how the whole company is performing. Therefore, marketing, and other business functions also need to perform to get the sales and ensure games are delivered on time and proper .
I don't read that as 30% raises for most people. I read that as the starting salary at the lowest levels is going up by 30%.
My reading may well be wrong. But, that's what it sounds like to me.
Well it all depends how they have structured their salaries with perks. In my company we have levels and depending on the job responsibilities will determine in what level you are and what your base salary will be. Everyone has a base salary.
On top of our base salary we also have additional up to 15% bonus and 12.5% super (money companies pay here to the government to fund you retirement when you are eligible to retire).
We also have a banding we sit in between 80%-100%. When you gain new skills and perform well you can move up in that band.
