1200 Microsoft points for new Cod map pack?

[k1assik]

Not sure if this has already been brought up but 15 bucks for 3 new maps and 2 old ones for Modern Warfare 2 seems ridiculous to me, Actvision has completely lost it and is now looking for anyway to screw us gamers to recoup losses from crappy games they weren't able to sell. I for one will be trading Modern Warfare 2 in this week for Bad Company 2 what does everyone else think?

 

[Curtmiester]

Yes, it has been brought up...today.
OT: Ya. It's redoculous. I will not buy it because honestly, IW doesn't need more money after MW2.

How much were the old map packs? I remember them being about the same.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I've read about this and I agree its way too overpriced.

I might get it if they dramatically lower the price.

well this is bullshit was hoping for them free because it sold so well .but it seems like Actvision pokiest aren't full yet

 

[Galad]

wow, considering MW2 was only the best selling game ever, could they really have a reason for this price tag, other than pure damn greed?

3 maps for Halo 3 cost 800 points, if I am correct. And they threw in some completely free maps.

Thus, it can be concluded that Activision is a money whore. /thread.

The profit motive?

Activision is experimenting to see how much they can charge for their products before people stop buying them. If you don't want all map packs to cost $15, don't buy it.

There is no law saying that games have to be $50 or map packs need to be $5 (or whatever they usually cost).

I have a strange feeling that it will still sell...
*sigh* This is what happens when natural selection no longer applies to societies. If you'll excuse me, I'll go drink until I forget that I've lost all faith in humanity...

clearly you'd make a better economist than me
