Anybody else in this same boat? I'm a fan of People Can Fly but lately Epic has been pulling some shady shit. This price tag was the final nail in the coffin for me. I'll get it on Steam when it goes on sale probably.

I don't think anyone buys PC games for 60 bucks, but then I saw that BLOPS was the top selling game for PC, and it made me sad.  I don't count SC2 as it isn't made by the greedy fucks at Activision.  

Thanks to how popular the consoles have become, more and more PC titles cost $60, especially ports.

I play games 6 months after they're released on PC.  There will almost always be a huge ass Steam sale where they are selling for cheap so I buy them and play them then instead of when new.

Suck it up, we always have to deal with this crap and you should too.

Why should we deal with it? There's no form of licensing fee attached to PC gaming. People need to start voting with their wallet on things like this. Just because Activision got away with it doesn't mean everyone else can.

" Suck it up, we always have to deal with this crap and you should too. "

considering consoles have nothing at all to do with pc game prices. one thing would be just general inflation shit cost more no matter what its for. either bend over and take it or don't play it at all.

" This probably isn't very helpful, but you can order it online in the UK for about $30.  So if I were you I just wouldn't buy it on principle."

i figure a game company can charge $60 bucks because thats how much they think. if i like a game i am funding more games from that developer. games cost cash, devs need to be paid, its business. if you don't like is, send a letter to the publisher with you concerns and wait for the mark down.

I think its pretty dumb that console and PC prices are on par now, especially considering the absence of a platform fee AND the fact that digital distribution means you don't have to produce PC discs.

I would not have bought this day one if it were $50. Or $40. I know these guys know their shit, and I loved Painkiller. But that's because I bought Painkiller for $10, and it will probably be the same in this case.

well, i guess i am just going to have to wait to play bulletstorm. I just hope that, if the game fails to sell on PC, Epic doesn't blame piracy.
Unproven IP from a B-tier developer ≠ $60 value on pc

Games cost money to make, pirating takes away from profits, prices go up. Such is the way of the world.

It's good that your sticking to your guns, I guess, but you may be missing out on a great game because of it.

I'll definitely wait until the christmas sale for this one, to be sure

Nope.  There's no platform tax to pay on PC so he shouldn't have to "deal with this crap".  Maybe if you stopped sucking it up then you wouldn't have to deal with it either. "

pirate it

I'm not that interested in the game. I'm interested enough to put the game on my Steam wishlist, but not interested enough to pay more than 10.

Fine to complain about provided you actually don't pay $60 for it at some point. People need to realize that publishers will continue to walk all over consumers as long as they know they can get away with it.

I didn't even buy StarCraft 2 day one.  This trend of $60 PC games needs to die.

That's a bummer, but you cant expect prices to stay the same forever.  Blizz's been doing it for awhile it only common sense that others would do it too.  I mean if i see that my competitor is able to get x price for x product, im sure as hell going to try it too.  Espically if i see all these other companys laying off people left and right which has been happening.  
And im sure that pirating does affect the companys, and for some ppl to dismiss that is just stupid.  Once u add in all the factors it makes sense that prices will go up eventually.  Just be glad u have been getting them cheaper while it lasted. 

Okay, then don't.

imma just rent this for xbox or ps3 and maybe buy it for PC when its on sale on steam for like 20-30 bucks

Saying piracy takes away from profits is one of the most propagated misconceptions about piracy. It's not profits lost if they never intended to buy it and they're not taking a unit from someone who would.  

Yeah, 60 bucks means it's a Day 1 download instead

Not here in good old Poland.

60$ is the normal price of games nowadays. It's a bit silly to complain about it still.
