should they make COD black ops free?

[POTUS Kanye West]

yes, because its over two yers old and bo2 is coming out this year.

[Absolute Zero]

Make a 2 year old COD game still priced at $60 turn free to play because the new one's coming out in a few months.

You're funny.

[POTUS Kanye West]

well it just seems a bit greedy of them to do so

[Cornflakes]

Yes, greedy. How dare they charge money for the product. ◔_◔

I'd like to point out that Sonic the Hedgehog, a game made in 1991, is in the store for $4.99.

[POTUS Kanye West]

thats just messed up

[POTUS Kanye West]

i hope they learn a lesson from tf2 at least thats free and fun

[d00dman]

Actually, that's the price of nostalgia. $4.99 seems to be the price of ANY game that existed pre-2001 -- from personal experience. Even games stores, that I've visited, have old games and dvd movies at about that price. If you'd rather purchase it elsewhere, nothing is stopping you.

Activision. Learning from Valve.

Black ops goes for about 20 dollars at most retailers of physical copies of it, for precisely the reasons you stated. Valve have unlimited virtual copies, so prices don't and wont get altered with time.

[POTUS Kanye West]

well what if your broke and whant to play a game like black ops and mw3. thats just dumb how they have gemase over 20 dollars

Activision is working on a free to play Call of Duty title in China. If I had to make a bet though, I think it will come over to the United States next year for Steam.

If you want the game badly enough, then be willing to pay what it costs to own it. $20 is what most people are willing to pay for a CoD title that has been out for a couple of years. These are very high profile, large budget, AAA title games that make up the best selling video game franchise currently. $20 is a pretty fair price when all is said and done.

So what if you're broke, you generally wont get a car simply because you don't got money for it but yet still don't want to take the bus or take a walk.

A game is a service which you're to pay for, its not their obligation to provide a free service just because some can not afford it.

[POTUS Kanye West]

well i think china gets that because there more prople. unlike us that companys no that people wll by ♥♥♥♥ for thousands of dollars

[POTUS Kanye West]

Who do you know that will buy a game for thousands of dollars? I sure don't know anyone.

A CoD title that is free to play is being developed in China because that is what works for their demographic. People over there go into what are called Cyber Cafes and play multiplayer games for a small fee. Very few people own their own computer, and so selling a $60 game in the same way that they do over here, makes very little sense.
