Loooooooooool! Mw2 pc price hike

[Sockmonkey]

It will be interesting to see how this whole thing will turn out, will the game get pirated more or will it sell better than COD4?

I guess the douchbag above knows that a Superior product can be sold for more,look at a product like an iPod for example. Also knowing that there is a great demand for the game especially in terms of the multiplayer, the "risk" is minimized from a sales point of view.

I must confess, for R500, I would have probably pirated the game, but seeing as I will be buying the game purely for the multiplayer, I will happily fork out the cash.

For me the single player mode of any COD game is boring, once you've played online then the AI of the game just seems to be very predictable.

MW2 is going to be the best selling COD of all time, it's a given.

And remember, there is CO OP aswell!!!!!!!!!!! even WAW's co op was sweet!

And just look at the local servers for cod 4 you bet your ass people are going to get MD2 because a lot of people are sick of counterstrike and the WWII Themes of games.

If every body boycots the game the price will drop over night

As long as the game sell at higher prices and there is little competition in the way of a competing game then they will keep inflating prices!

Rules of economics unfortunately.

So if you are unhappy with the game's price = just don't buy it rather keep playing the older version!

But as stated by many in this forum they are happy to pay the R100 more and feel it is justified, and I am sorry to say that those that feel that way will only support inflated prices in the future.

In all honesty, I think a game like MW2 is worth that extra price just. For a once of fee, you get access to infinite multi-playability.

Compared to the likes of WoW (or other MMOs) for example, which offers a similar sort of value proposition but requires a R150 monthly subscription fee, MW2 is not that badly priced.

I think if other developers follow suite with regular PC titles, they will fail miserably.

I have to agree, the value that I have got out of COD4 is priceless. Personally I am ok with the extra R100. It won't stop me from buying it.

Sorry but R500 is insane... Sad thing is if we boycott and don't buy the game, activision will go "They didn't buy because they pirated our game" when infact they should be saying "They didnt buy because we are money grabbing ingrate rednecks"
