STOP BUYING GAMES FOR $60+ USD!

[AlTech]

Companies are charging $60 on top of DLC they have planned which can add up to over $100 USD in some cases!

 

Buying games for $60 at launch makes companies think that this is acceptable.

 

Because of $60 games we buy fewer games per year and is very difficult for most people to buy a game at launch!

 

If you do this now then you will no longer have to pay $60 USD for games!

 

I started this when I started to be able to afford 3 or 4 games a year when before I could easily buy 8 games a year.

 

Games should be sold for $30-40  USD! or even less not $60 USD!

 

Sign the petition and be one step closer to $30 AAA Games! https://www.change.org/p/ea-games-stop-selling-video-games-for-60-usd-or-more

 

Comment below if you disagree or agree that $60+ USD is outrageous!

I can decide myself what I spend my money on. what the fuk

60 USD for an AAA title has been the standard for years, it's not going to change anytime soon. 

[CatCloud]

correction: "PC games"
Console has always been around 60 FOR YEARS

But PC games should be around 30-40

console game yes...not PC, those have been around 30-40, at lest in Sweden and some other countries i´ve been in

I would be perfectly find with paying £40 for my games if they included all DLC content with the game but I have to agree with you here.

 

I will generally wait until a game is cheap enough on G2A or Kinguin with the amount I think the game is worth, not how much I want it.

 

I haven't paid full price in a while but GTA V was an exception because I pirated it on Xbox 360 and feel bad for never giving R* what they deserved for over 100 hours of enjoyment.

 

But you have to consider how much devs put in to their games and how much they work on them.

 

A lot of devs deserve to charge that much because of how much work they go through, you need to understand things from both sides before just saying "DON'T DO THIS!"

Nothing wrong with $60 as long as the game is worth it, I have no issue paying that

 

DLC is completely optional, as long as its not DAY 1 DLC, I have no issue with DLC as a concept as long as it is not abused

 

However games should be priced according to their content

A 15 Hour AAA single player campaign? $40, an 80 hour AAA RPG $60, a basic indie platform, $10-$20 etc, online multiplyer $40-$100 

 

I have no issue with that kind of pricing as long as the game is worth it for me

Not years, literally decades. This has always been the norm and it's not going to change. Stop complaining.

as i said above, Console games have been going for around 60´s But PC games have been cheaper but now its 60 as well, at lest Digital and in some countries.

[minibois]

Ok ok, this random guy on the internet said it, now I wont do it anymore!

No, but games cost a lot to make. And if I enjoy a game a lot I will play it for a long loooong time. So it will be worth the 60 USD.

[Nexxus]

How bout you dont try and dictate my life?

Also lol @ change.org, good luck with that one.

YEAH WELL most games abuse this system like the Battlefield Franchise!

[Luckylock]

while I do agree with you, I highly doubt your post or petition will change a single thing. I also couldn't stop myself from buying GTA V  :unsure:

[ShadowCaptain]

Battlefield is not abused, the base game comes out.. you pay one price, and you can play it for years and years

 

Also

you can buy premium, if you like, OR you can buy each DLC separately when they come out,

 

Weapon packs are optional, and give casual players a chance to unlock weapons who do not want to play through the levels - completely optional speed boost

[DimasRMDO]

If the game is very big, selling it with cheap price can lead to loss instead of profit..... Depends on the game actually. If the game is worth the price then it's still okay but if it's like Assassin's Creed Unity..... I'd not buy it.

Having played the latest games for PC for more than 15 years now I can tell you that new releases have always been 60 dollars plus, at least here. On top of that we had tons of full price expansions. Accounting for inflation I'd say we're at a pretty good spot right now.

By the time you get you moneys worth it will be obsolete

Premium is DLC. It is all the maps they planned  not to include in the game that you must buy to have a complete battlefield experience

I may buy it if it comes down to $30! Same with BF Hardline

Weird, i still remember picking up Diablo 1 or Divine Divinity new for 399 SEK,  back in the days even many other PC games.

 

Console has always been around 599-699 SEK but never has a PC game been that expensive, unless you go to like some stupid retailer that charge and extra 100 SEK.

 

Even now its not even above the 500 SEK threshold, but it is climbing.

No idea what you are talking about. I still like Skyrim?

I still like Pokemon? (any main game really).

 

How is it obsolete?

[AlTech]

it might get worse in the future and rise to $80 like it almost did with PS4 and XBONE

[ShadowCaptain]

There is nothing wrong with DLC!!! its extra content that is not required, I dont expect it to be free if you are getting extras unless its only very basic things

 

The expansions are made AFTER the game is made, they are OPTIONAL EXTRA content! 

Premium, is just a way of paying one cost, and getting all dlc for one cost, making it cheaper, and extra benefits like extra battlepacks etc, I bought that because I was happy to pay for it

[Nosfy]

I can decide myself where I spend my money on. what the fuk

 

Totally agree with this. Why do people always feel the need to tell other people how to spend their money? If I want to get 32gb on my pc I will, I know its not necessary but I want it. If I want to buy Horse Armour DLC for £15 then I will, my horse will look awesome.

 

I have a job, I get paid well for that job so I will spend my money on what and how I like... thanks

Agree, but some "warnings" are nice too you know. 

 

what if that Pony Panzer dlc does not work? like at all for 3 months! and what if you REAAAALLLY wanted that spanking shiny plating on your trusty stead? Man that would suck...

[AlTech]

They are not. But for example I haven't gotten my money out of BF4 or Titanfall (now servers are empty)!
