And yes, there are some devs and game prices that baffles me. How can the Call of Duty games still be so expensive? Not that I'm interested in them (only Modern Warfare, but not enough to play 10 € for it), but it's weird on a franchise that relies so much on multiplayer and that sees its players jumping every year into the latest entry.

Another thing that I've seen and I don't understand is Ubisoft. All the AC games are discounted (even Syndicate has a 40% off!), but Black Flag is full price. Or the Anno series where the only game on sale is 1404. I understand leaving 2205 out because it's new, but why 2070 is also full price?

I think Activision is like that since they've always been very money grubbing with their practices for years, I mean they are probably the last of the big pubs out there to lower their prices and even then they feel they don't need to because they rely heavily on their brand image and due to that they think it'll still sell even if they shave so much as 10% off. When you have people like Bobby at the helm you can expect nothing but high prices and spammed titles.

Last COD game I was ever into was BLOPS and that was way back in 2010 and since we're enaring the end of 2015 that was 5 years ago which in gaming years was a long time back and there have been a load of COD titles since then that failed to pull me back, though the latest BLOPS was so close to pulling me in (having the original Nazi zombie squad) but fucked it up with the PC port (even though it's fixed to some degree the damage has been done).

Same with the AC series, last good one I played was II and even then I tried playing III but it bored me faster than anything and I haven't played another one since, I know how all the latest ones work and all so I can say none of them draw me in like the first two once had.

I think in the end the biggest of pubs feel they don't need to tone down their prices but in the end it'll only hurt their image more, why should I buy their game which is the millionth sequel to an already done franchise when I could support an indie dev or company who makes unique games but also knows how to grab you via price toning?.

My last CoD was CoD 3... scrap that, I got World at War as a gift. I didn't enjoy them much and I haven't tried one settled in the current or future events. That's why I'm mild interested in Modern Warfare.

In Assassins Creed, I played and enjoyed all of them until AC 3 (maybe I have something against the sequels named 3?), which bored me to death with an uninspiring character and dull cities/environments. Going from the beautifull cities of Italy to the "settlements" of the US was a let down . After that, I haven't played another AC game.
