Its stupid, Anyone who bought a $500 or $600 console at launch should NOT be talking about complaining about Money

Anyone who spends money to PLAY online should NOT be complaining.

Anyone who spends over $700 for a super 1337 chip set to run the latest and greatest games should NOT be complaining about a 10 dollar increase on games. 

 

 

 

How many PC games do you a buy a year? I buy on average nearly 20. A 10$ increase means 200$, I upgrade my PC once every 3 years or so so that's how much? 600$? That's enough to get a PS3 at launch or a very good graphics card for my PC.

 

I wouldn't be so mad if we got some awesome new features with our games but no, we're getting stripped of using dedicated servers, of modding our games and getting strangled with evermore intrusive forms of DRM and we're paying 10$ more for the privlege of dropping our pants.

I havent bought a PC game since 2008. That was BF2 at $10.

 

If you buy 20 PC games at $50 each then your spending $1000 on games, im sure you can spend an additional 10 per game. While im not gonna argue devs are fucking over PC users, like IW is, i will argue that most devs need that additional $10.
