Anyone who's been around here long enough knows that I've been one of the harshest critics of companies selling games... especially PC games... for $60.
It started with Modern Warfare 2 and I told everybody (who would listen that is...) that they were just doing that to see if they could get away with jacking up the prices of ALL new games to 60 bucks... and that, once they did that, they'd start looking at getting the prices even higher.
Well look at where we are today.
Fortunately, with the state of the economy, this is non-sustainable.
And hopefully, some time very soon, prices will be forced back to earth.
