Market Dynamics
Lost Planet 2’s continued absence from Steam has created a significant market gap for competitive titles within the action-adventure genre. This has allowed rival titles to gain market share and establish a strong foothold, potentially hindering Lost Planet 2’s future success upon its eventual release.
Revenue Loss
The delay in Lost Planet 2’s Steam release has resulted in substantial revenue loss for its developer, Capcom. Sales data for similar titles indicates that Lost Planet 2 could have generated significant revenue within its first year of availability on Steam. The extended delay has deprived Capcom of these potential earnings.
Consumer Impact
The absence of Lost Planet 2 on Steam has had a negative impact on consumer choice. Fans of the Lost Planet series and potential new players are unable to access the game through their preferred platform, leading to frustration and missed opportunities for Capcom to expand its player base.
