In an official [URL='https://x.com/REBHPortal/status/2036473157612347713']post[/URL] on social media to mark the game's third birthday, developer Capcom revealed some official stats for all transactions made by the merchant across every copy of the game to date. Over the past three years, the merchant has sold 39,914,290,699,099 ptas worth of gear (ptas here referencing the old Spanish currency of pesetas). That's a lot of bought gear (over 39 trillion's worth!) and yet... the merchant is still in the red. Since launch, players have simultaneously also sold 43,251,570,618,389 ptas worth of stuff to the merchant (over 43 trillion!). That's a lot of elegant crowns, masks and butterfly lamps. Tally those two figures together and it's good news for players, but bad news for the merchant: who is now 3.34 trillion in arrears. Just as in the original Resident Evil 4, the remake allows you to flog all sorts of treasures and trinkets to the merchant in exchange for weapon upgrades and rocket launchers that can one-hit KO most bosses. These cost 160,000 ptas per one-use launcher, making them something you need to save up for. Resident Evil 4's merchant remains one of the game's best-loved features, with his mysterious backstory and gravelly catchphrases a core memory of the game for many players.
