Mass Effect 3 is $60!?!

[QUOTE="BDK-Soft"]Love mass effect, but $60 = torrent. That's what EA gets for being greedy sons of ****ralph2190

Stealing = negative karma = karma kicking your butt.

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"]

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Yes it is a big deal, since those 10 $ can mean an awesome extra game, see Amnesia.GeneralShowzer

:lol: Ok.

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"][QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] No it is not, welcome to 2010. News flash games take $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to make 10 bucks is not much, considering how much they spent making it and how much they are going to lose by people stealing it. dont like it, dont buy it.

:lol: Ok.

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"]

[QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] Irrelevant. It's been repeated several times in the thread why PC games should be 10$ cheaper, scroll up and read it. Piracy is not stealing. Pirates wouldn't have bought it anyway, so one pirated copy does not equal a sold copy. If someone pirates it, it doesn't mean that EA just lost 60$. And last minimal amount of funds is going into the PC version, if ME2 is any indicator. They didn't even bother to make the game look better, or make the controls better. Al that $$$$$$$$$$$$$ went into the console version, and was cheaply ported to PC by a small team.Nibroc420

:lol: Ok.

A 10 dollar price increase is making more people steal the game? I didnt bother to argue with him , because there is no point. Pc gamers on this forum have there own way of thinking and nothing will change it. I am a Pc gamer but have never piriated even one game. A 10 dollar increase wouldnt drive me to steal, if something that small would, chances are they were stealing anyways. You guys wonder why all the games are going to consoles, this is one reason right here. Pc gamers want everything cheaper or free. You are slowly killing your own system.

Some games are probably worth $60, ME3 might be since they are adding MP. So who knows.

PC gamers pay the same price for their games as console users, the only difference is that console users have to pay an extra $10 tax on their games to their console manufacturer (it's called the console royalty fee). Now publishers want us to pay an extra $10 even though console games will stay at the $60 mark ? This is also ignoring the fact that they actually make more money per copy on the PC version than they do on the console version. In short we actually contribute MORE towards the cost of game development per copy bought than console users do but that doesn't seem to be enough and they want to make us pay the same price as console gamers despite the fact there is no royalty fee on the PC.

The fact some on here cannot see a problem with us paying the same price for games as console users really does make me shake my head. Is it any wonder this industry treats the consumer with such disrespect, the consumer deserves it.

PC game prices plummet fast though, wait a week and you will see specials for 39.99.

What's funny is people pretending there's some real reason why games have been $50 in the first place...prices are just based on what people are willing to pay.

Some AAA games cost 10 million to make, some 30 million, but they all (for the most part) are released at $50 anyways. Under the reasoning some of you are using those games should be more expensive. The reality is game prices are based on people's perceptions of worth and what they perceive big budget games to be worth. It's obvious now people are willing to dish out an extra $10, so naturally game companies are charging more.

Darn, I don't like the price hike, PC gaming has always been cheaper.. Oh well, at least we have steam sales, that easily makes up for it. ferrari2001

Exactly. Just wait for a sale if the price is too steep for your liking. Several online distributors offer massive sales on a fairly regular basis.

The needed the extra $10 to make it a RPG again.

Look at you, whining at games prices. You still will no doubt get a great game and as far as technology goes, the graphics and animations should be vastly improved on Mass Effect 2's great visuals.

Bioware has delivered great games and deserves the extra money that they will get. They work to the bone, just to make a great game and what do they get? $50 a copy divided between however many people they have plus EA. I don't think that Activision deserves the same amount of money per copy, because I don't believe that any of their games have anything on Biowares' games.

So there. Thats my two cents.

P.S $60 USD is only $80 New Zealand Dollars, but we pay either $90 (at minimum) or $100 (PC only, NZD), Except for Activision games which are usually more.

Just to show that I don't care.
