Activision's Kotick: I'd Raise Game Prices Even More

Only ones willing to say it because Kotick's name as a professional is already sh!t, and all the customers already hate his guts

Yea, it's true. He is a tool with an agenda and at the same time if you owned a company and you thought you could raise prices without altering your sales you would be crazy not too.

Games will only get more expensive. I think I heard somewhere that the Game download service Microsoft was offering, priced the games at around $100. That is highway robbery! Why charge more for digital media? You would think the amount saved by not printing discs would be much greater than the cost of some servers (especially for Microsoft).

Exactly. 15 bucks for 1943? sure I can do that. 70 bucks for KZ2 + crappy DLC that doesn't offer anything more than a flamethrower and a map for 10 bucks? Please, I'll be back on the PC playing Urban Terror if things keep going that route.

I wish I was rich enough to not care about the cost of a game
