197w ago - If everyone had salaries like
Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision, then we could afford the astronomical prices Activision charges for games.
However, this is reality, a
reality where Bobby Kotick wants to raise game prices. Prices that are already at an expensive price point for video games, and during an economic crisis.
To quote: Attention Bobby Kotick - It's 2009, the global economy has crashed, in large part due to corporate greed. Maybe you haven't noticed the hit to the economy, since in 2008 you made a staggering (said in Dr. Evil voice) $15 million dollars.
Every day it seems as though 'poor' Mr. Kotick is headed toward being the most hated man in the gaming industry. And the more the guy opens his yapper, the more hate he deservedly gets.
Anyone else here played that Fast and Furious game yet? Its the worst car racing game ever. It looks about 10 years old and plays about 20 years old. ...
ok this month theres the food money, theres rent theres electric theres billl one credit card two and theres £40 spare for entertainment , hmm a game or two dvds or treat food for the family
If they delivered nothing but masterpieces every time i wouldn't be suprised they wanted more money but with games like that the $15 bin is still not worth checking out.
He can afford to pay $60+ with a wage like that, while Mr Joe average cannot.
They're shooting themselves in the foot if they raise the price, piracy will just become more and more attractive, especially in todays bad economy. Its already bad enough that the maps packs are extra, which i think is BS, however if they hiked the price and kept all the addon map packs free it wouldnt be so bad. But that wont happen.
