Digital pricing

>old game
>full price
WHY IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED? at least physical retail shops compete with each other and lower prices, but even though digital products have no production cost to deliver the content, they're way more expensive than physical discs? WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT????

>WHY IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED?
Activsion is greedy, game stores will mark the price down meanwhile CoD WaW is like fucking $30 on steam

>Activsion
this has nothing to do with activision, all publishers have this.

What's really fucking dumb is how alot of Wii U games that got sequels or enhanced ports are still full price on Wii U

literally less $4 from a white market key seller

They stay full cost so that when they go on sale they can inflate the percentage off. Selling a game for 75 percent off for 15 dollars is more appealing to consumers than selling it for 25 percent off for 15 dollars. Moreover, I assume there is some tax evasion bullshittery where if they discount it for a charity sale they can write off the loss or something.

I get your point but cdkeys and all these third party key sellers are grey market at best and many of their keys are "bought" with stolen credit cards

What other games you talking about?
I just know anecdotally that activision overprices their older games on digital, I've wanted to buy both CoD 2 and WaW but I'm not going to shell out $20+ for games that over 10 years old

Activision will never reduce the price on their games. Only in sales to they drop a little.

but no online store does charity shit except the irrelevant humble store shit.

>What other games you talking about?
see for example, but I have seen it happen with literally all publishers.

why is mw2 40 on steam still

Bloody Ghosts is still US$59.99 MSRP on Steam
Activision are the greediest jews next to Nintendo

Stop using the MS store and start using grey market sites to buy keys on day one for $9.99 with DLC

nobody bother to change the price because the wii u is so fucking dead now

Nintendo does the same

LOL and its in euros too

what drugs are you on? ever seen the steam summer sale?

>black ops 2 is still 60 dollar on steam
>2012 game
but it still is alright game but why 60?

>even the mac version of black ops 1 only cost 20 while the window version cost 40

believe it or not, before tax that is only $56 USD with the current exchange rate.
Euro prices include a 20% vats and the exchange rate is not what it once was.

Pirates and consoles, dare I say it...
