Raising the price on anything will never get a warm response from the consumer. Unfortunately for Activision, it almost seems like they are trying to piss off consumers. Activision is continuing yet another trend that caused plenty of gamers to pay overly high prices for one of their previous games… So, angry mob, get your torches and pitchforks ready.
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.
Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."

If people are ignorant enough to buy games at jacked up prices then the consumer is the only one to blame.
If they talk about raising the price, and people see them at the usual price they maybe more inclined to buy one.
It is a simple and very effective marketing tool used by many companies.
Your consumers bought your games last year. They made you lots of money. Isn't that enough?!
I know people will still buy the game, but i hope theres a sharp decline in sales of the new COD. I'd feel kinda bad for Treyarch but anything that makes Kotick cry is a win in my book.
And so it begins even more expensive games i hope black ops bombs so badly for activision.
