Modern Warfare 2 To Cost $60 USD on PC For No Reason - Games

[url]http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/pachter-activision-mw2-price-is-a-test[/url] For no fucking reason, Activision is jacking up the price of the PC version of MW2 to $60. This is absolutely retarded. The reason console games cost $10 more is because the publishers have to pay MS and Sony a licensing fee which the $10 covers. Will you stand for this? I was a little reluctant to consider buying it, now there's no way in hell I'll buy it til it's at most $50. And knowing Activision, it will be more than a year before MW2 drops in price. Hell it was only recently when COD4 came down in price on Steam. Activision has taken over EA's role of biggest douche in the gaming industry.

basically exploiting the price due to the recent popularity of the series

yes because it's $10 and i can find that on the sidewalk in an hour and i don't bitch about $10

Also oh lord, an extra 10$, It might be for extra content in the future or they might need the money, I think it's going to be a good game but 10$ won't put me off from buying it.

Eh, just buy it at Fryz, they rarely have PC games there for the full price, when I got FEAR 2 from there it was $5 cheaper

fuck it, not a big difference

Get over it, either pay the price set or import it which most likely'll cost more.

BITCH BITCH WHINE[/QUOTE] Can't you ask your parents to give it to you? £36 for me then... Christ that's A NORMAL PRICE FOR A NEW GAME.

They're exploiting the shit out of it, just because they can. Almost makes me not want it just out of principle. It's costing £55 on consoles, £15 more than it normally is. Absolutely fucking disgusting.

Imagine the money is going to charity.

[QUOTE=Fox-Pie;16310960]yes because it's $10 and i can find that on the sidewalk in an hour and i don't bitch about $10[/QUOTE] Why don't they just charge you what they want then? If you let them raise the price, they won't just do it this time it will happen more often. How about they charge you $100. Just go walking on the street 10 times, it shouldn't be hard to find the money now. [B]Edit:[/B] I can easily afford the extra money, the problem is they are exploiting the popularity of the series. They know that people will pay anything to play their beloved Call of Duty. As JamesMay said, it has more to do with principle, than with price.

This is the main reason why some people buy Xbox 360s rather than PS3, so they can hack it, and play backups rather than paying for ridiculous prices

[QUOTE=Swebonny;16311037]Imagine the money is going to charity.[/QUOTE] if it's some charity that helps African people, i don't want to buy it for that reason, why don't people help the poor in their own country first???

[QUOTE=technicsix;16311084]It's a pain in the ass to do it.[/QUOTE] Not really, it only takes 5 minutes average for me, because I have done it millions of times

[QUOTE=pl0xinat0r;16311086]if it's some charity that helps African people, i don't want to buy it for that reason, why don't people help the poor in their own country first???[/QUOTE] No because our lovely western society is a democracy so there will always be poor and rich. And Poor people tend to give to charity so it doesn't help.

It's about $90 in the UK.

Not a thread about consoles or how the Xbox360 is better than the PS3, because they are all equal.
