People from the UK... your currency collapsed. Deal with it.

The GBP has risen back to around 2003 levels - which was the average just before the big boost (I think it was more the dollar falling). One thing's for sure, game prices didn't fall during that time.

If you had a business, and were selling things at a profit and big quantity, would you drop your prices?

I understand if you don't like the new prices... If Activision sells too few games in UK I'm sure they'll drop the prices again.

 

I don't like it when firms use short term currency fluctuations to make long term changes to pricing.

I understand why they do it, though. But it screws the consumer.
