Wait let me get this straight, the CEO said his company doesn't care for games that cannot be milked every year and be placed on most plafforms on the market?

The value of the pound has decreased so this isn't the biggest surprise.

Also more importantly, has anyone heard of supply & demand? The market will decide if ppl will be willing to pay 5 pounds more for this game. And considering that pretty much every game has been delayed cause of COD, I don't think ppl will mind paying 5 pounds higher.

The only problem with this 5 pounds more is that most games launch at 40 pounds and some 30. a few go to 45 but thats about it.
So really in the real World COD MW2 is going to be more like 15 pounds more expensive

No, most games are £50 and go down to £40, MW2 is £55 and has already gone down to £45. Only £5 more.

if modern warfare team split off and were published somewhere else, then yes I would boycott them.

i'll continue my modern warfare only boycott tho as it is.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.
