TGN writes,"PC Gamers worldwide are gearing up for a potential boycott of Modern Warfare 2 after the announced price hike by Activision. At the time of this news posting, almost 68% of respondents say that they will not support the newer, higher price. Most say that Activision's excuse about the weakness of world currency is not to blame, and they refuse to pay the higher price.
"According to a straw poll conducted here on the Total Gaming Network, it is clear that the majority of PC gamers will not support the price hike on Modern Warfare 2.
"Some, however, do agree with the decision and say the additional $10 or $15 will not deter them from purchasing the game, while others say that they will follow their standard purchasing pattern and buy the game when retailers sell it for a discount."
NoobFeed editor Jay Claassen writes - One Last Breath looks great from a distance but that notion changes very quickly when you start playing it. There’s endless potential and it needs a ton more polish before it can really take off but even then, there needs to be more intrigue to hold anybody’s attention.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I tried not to compare South Park: Snow Day to The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, but considering it is still a sequel of sorts, it’s hard not to feel massively disappointed with this game. We went from gorgeous and hilarious RPGs to a bland, boring, uneventful action roguelike with baffling graphical design choices, underwhelming controls, and an overall gameplay loop you have experienced dozens of times before. The sense of humor alone is not worth the admission ticket. After being given some high quality wagyu from Obsidian Entertainment and Ubisoft San Francisco over the past years, it’s hard to go back to this spoiled truck stop beef jerky."
PC hit Seed of Life is finally coming to consoles, with a release date announced for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.
Do PC gamers really boycott with all this bit torrent sites? If they don't like something they can just get the game free. Treat your PC gamers right or don't bother making PC games.
Does anyone know how much the PC version will actually cost?
OMFG GaFL!
Screw them. I'll buy it used. For CHEAP. Wasn't picking up MW2 anyway, but still. That ridiculous. I hope it's so bug-ridden and they go out of business. Activision is poison.
Edit:
Yeah, that was a LITTLE extreme, huh. Really though, who would miss them? You? You? You? Or you? See! Nobody. ghahahah..
Alright I'm outta here. Must be boycott season or something.
One thing that I think is hurting the gaming industry on the pricing front is all of the smaller publishers and developers being gobbled up by companies such as Activision and EA. We're seeing a serious dwindling of competition (See the Sierra purchase), and that is most likely also a factor in driving prices up.
