All you need to know is, that the lowest bidder is the one that sells.

You didn't learn much in school, that much is obvious.

They don't have to lower the price, because they already sell it to everyone who wants to play it anyway. I think they could even increase the price and wouldn't lose a lot of customers.

Yeah well, if you already have huge player base, then it is probably no brainer.

But still, imagine a player is looking for a game. He is open to any genre, and doesnt mind trying out new franchise.

Now you have two games, both priced same. if you cut off 25% off the price, what game do you think he is probably going to buy?

And lets not forget, that if boh prices were halved, he would not have to choose. What I mean is, that, for many players, price budget is pretty important, and if they cant afford the game, they are not going to buy it.

Yes, yes I am. I am embracing public opinion and letting it govern my actions.

You gave me an interesting thought.

Maybe, if they cut the price of games by half, that would mean it would be more affordable, which would lead to more people buying it, resulting in larger community.

Why to make the prices high if there is a potential for greater demand?

You do realize the COD games are some of the most popular, mainstream games nowadays and lowering their prices wouldn't necessarily get that much more players. The ones who really want it buys it. If it would've been 15-20 bucks cheaper it would've most likely not made a difference. The kids who wants it gets their parents to buy it. And the ones working and not leeching shouldn't have a problem dishing out 50-60 bucks (yes you don't have to buy the map packs as well).

Deal breaker No.1 for me is modern warfare. I've tried to get into it but I can't (tried CoD4:MW, CoD4:MW2, BF2, BF3). It has something to do with me being a kid who actually witnessed "modern" warfare and don't like to see it in games or movies. I understand that doesn't matter to you who've seen war just on TV screen.

You played COD IRL?

Except that since the Vietnam war nobody shows true warfare on TV. During the first days of Irak we could see shiny fireworks and that's it.

I'm pretty sure they teach you about price and demand in school.

They don't. And a little more advanced than that, price-demand elasticity is not understood by half the people you try to explain it to. Lowering the price of CoD titles would be economically retarded because those that buy it have proven to share a combination of sufficient mental deficit and sufficient addiction not to mind forking as much money as is required to get the next fix.

Hey hey hey, easy there. I meant good.

The theory was that if games were cheaper, people would be more willing to invest in them, thats all.

And that theory is uneducated and based on your "gut feeling". That's why price-demand elasticity is used almost globally and your made-up theory belongs in a 4th grade elementary class.
