Forums - Microsoft - Activision trying to rip off gamers with COD Black Ops on Xbox One Backward Compat

Chazore on 13 November 2015

Doesn't surprise me with it being Activision with Bobby at the helm, they do this for PC releases and hardly ever scale the price down for any sort of sale by much if at all. Ever year they seem to refrain from lowering it on Steam.

Above all publishers they are the ones who care only about pure maximum profit and COD, Destiny, Skylanders, DInfinity and others are proof of that.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Bummer, but it's Activision. They want money, they have money, but they want more.

If you get the game used they don't make anything. Seems like they should be a little more reasonable for a old game and everyone would be happy.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

You are better off buying COD BO3 last gen version which include BO1.

No, buy BO3 on X1.

Get the Black Op 1 and 2 bundle for $30 at retailers or online.

Right, fortunately X1 BC isn't limited to digital.

I look forward to replaying that campaign when it comes to X1.

The first Call of Duty game that will be made available on XBox One backward compatibility is Call of Duty Black Ops. 

Activision and Microsoft have combine effort to screw gamers by recently upping the price of a 5 years old game to $59.99. $39.99

I really don't see that combined effort. CoD-games are expensive in all digital stores, no need to blame Microsoft.

CoD Black Ops 1 @ Steam = €39.99: http://store.steampowered.com/app/42700/

CoD Black Ops 1 @ PSN = $49.99: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-with-first-strike/cid=UP0002-NPUB30584_00-CODBLOPSFIRSTBUN

CoD Black Ops 1 "Ultimate Edition" @ PSN = $94.49: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-ultimate-edition/cid=UP0002-NPUB30584_00-CODBLOPSCOMPLETE

CoD Black Ops 2 @ PSN = $59.99: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii-with-revolution-map-pack/cid=UP0002-NPUB31054_00-CODBLACKOPS2DL00

CoD Black Ops 2 @ PSN = $99.99: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-ii-and-season-pass-bundle/cid=UP0002-NPUB31054_00-CODBO20000000000

CoD Black Ops 2 MSRP @ Nintendo = $59.99: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/-8WKvrMc9w9N0vLY-C357KbbF-KdScA5

CoD Black Ops 2 @ Steam = €59.99: http://store.steampowered.com/app/202970/

And Activision ain't obligated either to lower the prices for their games after a while; we on the other hand aren't forced to buy them, if we think they aren't worth their price.

Why bother with a 5 year old COD when they release a COD annually? I don't think that really has much to do with MS. That has activision's miasma of greed all over it.

Is this really that big of deal? Who's going to buy it?

Because its a good game. Basically every CoD since MW1 still has an active online community.
