See the BS IW started? I hope PC gamers really stick it to them and not buy this overpriced DRM ridden game. IW took the leap of faith and everyone now wants to follow along. If this starts becoming the norm I am pretty sure piracy is going to be at a new record high and the devs would blame the poor sales on it.

they might as well just put icing on the cake and load it up with trojans and malware

Wonderful... Thanks IW.

God, did anything good come of MW2?

Atleast we PC gamers are in the fortunate position to still play the game without contributing to their revenue. ^_^

Penny Arcade got it right again.

Tycho:

For my part, I'm aware that people copy games - I was twelve once, after all - but the extent to which piracy is accepted as a valid ethos is absurd. It's considered the appropriate response to so many scenarios that the notion of it as an outgrowth of any coherent ethical framework is hilarious. It's so, so rad when people tart up their nihilism.

Though to be fair, they were talking about the DRM.

But still... $60 is ridiculous.

Sorry PC gamers. Looks like 60$ and DRM is going to be your mainstay future.

About IW's role model, I wouldn't worry about it.

It will not catch on. CoD already had a name for itself which helped sell those millions, so they could've done anything they wanted with the game and receive the same results.

Bioware could've sold PC Mass Effect 2 at $60, but they sold the core game at $50 and the special edition at $60. Metro 2033 will be $50, along with RF: Guerilla for free. Napoleon: Total War is $40 with the special edition being $50. Bioshock 2 - $50. Alien vs. Predator - $50. Bad Company 2 - $50. Supreme Comander 2 - $50. IW has not done as much damage as a lot of people think, but it doesn't excuse what they did. IW can't change PC gaming by itself.

You've probably seen many other PC owners rethink their purchase on ACII after hearing of the DRM. Let Ubisoft blame piracy and move on. Nothing to stress over.

I wouldn't even pay 30 for that crappy game.

Honestly, i heard such great things that it fixed everything the original did wrong. Not a chance in hell, still the same old borefest.

Not a problem, just wait to but it for a month or two, it will drop 10-20 dollars by then.

Man it like Ubisoft doesn't want people to buy the PC version.:|

The price is way to high...what a bad deal. $60, full price, for a digital DL?

What the...

60 dollar popular SP game... i sense piracy time.

But yea the high and mighty hermits have to stoop to the consoles level =( its the future

I have little doubt a trend is starting. AC2 isn't even a massive blockbuster game like MW2 was. Might be wrong, but I think sooner or later it will be 60 bucks for a popular game.

And someone mentioned episodic gaming. I think that would be WORSE. As you'd basically be paying anywhere from 70 to 100+ for an entire game broken up.

I was willing to give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt on their intrusive and oft-maligned DRM, on the assumption that Assassin's Creed 2, a 3 month old game, would - at the very least - debut at $49.99 for the PC. It's impossible to defend them anymore. Assassin's Creed 2 for the PC is the definition of fail.

I have faith that EA will not follow in the steps of Crapivision and Ubi.SparkyProtocol

I do as well, apparently people haven't learned from their example.

They are ruining the greatness of PC gaming by not allowing mods, adding DRM, and increasing the price. They want to make PC gaming uncomfortable as they can and force PC gamers into consoles where the companies can have full control over them.

They probably charge 10$ more because they spent so much money on its DRM protection. Funny how DRM is causing more harm than good in more ways than one.

Bu Bu Bu Digital Distribution is hassle free and cheaper!

You would actually think it being a downloadable game AND being on the PC would make it much cheaper but no.

They defended the price stating that the PC version comes with the DLC. Either way, I bought this game for my PS3 and it's a waste of time. Don't throw your money away.

I wouldn't buy it for 10 dollars, even. Not with that DRM.

I really don't get this: They want to combat piracy but all they do is riddle their game with DRM and up the price to $60, which ONLY screws over the legitemit customer and thus will only lead to more people pirating...

Did anyone actually clicked the link?

because it is listed for $50 just like every other pc game

Now some console fanboysare pulling stuff out of thin air? Run out of arguments?

I said above it says 50 euros. Maybe they just raise the Us price ( sneaky b******* instead lowering Eu prices to be similar to US they decided to raise Us prices to be similar to EU) because here is listed at 50 euros like most games

relax. it's ten dollars.DonPerian

Which ads up, especially in these hard times. And it's 10 dollars now, 20 dollars more next gen, on and on.

I sure won't be paying 200+ dollars for a game. This ain't neogeo.

relax. it's ten dollars.DonPerian

That's not the point, console games are 60 due to royalty fees, but PC games have no owner, so how can they justify jacking up the price?
