Hey :] Call me Zippy :]

I have been told I'm an odd fellow, which is nice :) Loving Dtoid, been here for nearly a year now and I'm so glad I found a real community :D I feel more welcomed here than I have anywhere else.

I love all games new and old hence why I still have and play on my Spectrum, SNES, N64, PS1,2, Gameboy and more. I also have the rest of the N64/SNES games that I don't have in Physical form in Emulation form. I play PC a lot too. Check out Mame32 for a lot of classic very old arcade games.

On PC I mainly play TF2, GTA and L4D1/2. On PS3 I mainly play Killzone 2, Street Fighter 4, Mirrors Edge, Little Big Planet and a load more. Plus a lot of mini games, I play those a lot too.

I've currently just finished studying a BTEC in Game, Art and Media Design and now enjoying my holiday.

What I am playing at the moment (Steam ID: The_End21 or |LZ| Zippy):
Team Fortress 2, Worms: Reloaded

PSN: Gladiator_21

What I am reading at the moment:
Bill Hicks: Love All The People (a foreword)

What I am watching at the moment:
A lot of films.

What I am listening to at the moment:
Shpongle, The Knife and Felt.

My favourite games/series of all time:
Too many games to list, I have that list saved though.

What. The. Hell. Activision.

So today Activision decided to raise the price of Modern Warfare 2, on PC. Brilliant. Cheers Booby Koshit for being a greedy bastard. And don't blame it on the recession.

The price is now $60/�45 on PC.

In other news, Team Fortress 2 got a load of bug fixes in today's update, which is nice :)

Oh Activision, you really have become a shitty company. I used to like you, really I did, but now you've become everything I used to hate about EA.

ChronosWing

wtf? Where do they get off charging $60 for pc games?

Zippyduda

I can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or serious chrono.

Alasdair Duncan

Zippy, Chrono probably lives in the US (right?) where games are generally cheaper than in the UK and Australia. A quick look at EB Australia's website has the PC version down for costing $100 in Australia (a common price) which is 56 quid.

Monodi

Damn, i am not that surprised though I thought it would be priced aroudn that margin anyway.

I know i could be speaking too late but how is it that common this is the price tag now on everything? i sued to get surprised by looking at it but now its everywhere.

Takeshi

But will it be worth it?

Chris Carter

Unbelievable. Console bullshit has finally affected the PC market.

You know you'll buy it though.

Dao2-SKP

You know... it wasn't today.... That price has been there for more then 2 months :<

CelicaCrazed

I'm going to hate myself when I buy this game....

Naim Master

I won't buy it.

CelicaCrazed

Wait a minute. If you get MW2, will it be on PC or PS3?? Last time I checked, all the cool kids were getting it for the PS3 :P

Naim Master

Also, add me on Steam, you punk, I'm Styt/Botucatu!

Monodi

added!

Dao2-SKP

@ mk

inflation.

ChronosWing

I'm being dead serious, PC games have been $50 forever, even the pc ports of console games are $50. But now all of a sudden Activision is so fucking greedy they think they can change the price scheme to match console prices? Fuck them, if pc games adopt this new price scheme which they more than likely will because Activision will probably sell of a shit ton of copies no matter the price point I will boycott companies that do this.

Yehat

It honestly seems like a move with almost no logic behind it.

It's not a move that will encourage purchasing the game "on day 1" as well as moving the PC release a week away from the console version. What on Earth is the logic to this?

Are they trying to maximize PC profits? Well then why not put it on the same day as the consoles?
Are they trying to increase their install base? Well why would they RAISE the price?

Cosmically it seems really petty to get agitated over a matter of a week and 10 dollars but I applaud PC gamers for being outraged as Activision could set a precedent and not a favorable one.

ChronosWing

$10 isn't a big deal, its the principle of the matter. The established pc price point has been $50 for new games for a long time, and of course it takes a greedy company like Activision to feel they need to up the price just so they can make that little bit of extra profit. I mean why now? Why wasn't MW1 $60 for pc? They run on the same engine, your telling me it cost that much more to make MW2 that they need to price hike the pc version?

Ibutsu

Activision really is the new EA. Shitty tech support (I know from experience, not even a reply) and as much money milking as possible.
