ABOUT Boycott 59.99 PC PriceTag

Boycott pricetag of 59.99 for new and or upcoming PC Games !

Lately we witness the GREED behaviour of game publishers IN new pricing for HOT and, or UPCOMING PC Titles.
Yet, there is a minimum of four companies that tends to get us, The PC Gamers used to the pricetag of 59.99 USDs.

It all started well, Thanks to the only and most greedy! Activision. ...and its best product ever made cod4mw2, not ! Ubisoft Follows. Not for so long Blizzard joins the fashion and finally neither EA wants to stick out.

It is important to keep in mind:

-how did this pricetag spread.
59.99 game price came first with MS-X360 entitled case loaded with game and a piece of paper they call manual, To compensate the loss of each and every underpriced console sold due to rivality with Nintendo and its Wii.
In addition sony releases the ps3 and thus to compete the sales numbers to those of microsofts. A price tag for Sony PS3 entitled game case also rise to 59.99 again To compensate the loss of each console being sold under the real value.
There are no other reasons than these for a console game being priced 59.99 instead of 49.99 just like the PC and Nintendo Wii games !!!
Not only its $10 more but, it is 20% more !!! See the difference now?
Inflation has nothing to do with this sudden change in pricing dictature by the game publishers to PC games ! Otherwise the game should cost near to 99.99

And that:

-There are only few ways to fight it back.
Highly recommended... If done by most of us, then highly effective. At least to our wallets and not supporting the publishers in their tactics.

Do not preorder any games for 59.99 !
Do not even think about buying the game for 59.99 !
Wait until the price drops.
Send the actual publishers site "Contact us" a warm message expressing your feelings about them.
Get games from amazon, ebay, any etailer for as low as possible instead - There is no Region protection on PC platform whatsoever. Dare them to bring this to the only Opened platform on this plane.
Games sold overseas are cheaper in local stores but also in estores except those on steam due to valves forgetting about making the games but living out of the profits per each unit sold on their network. SAD!

Instead of buying the game please, BOYCOTT 5999 !
Buy something thats new for 49.99 and play that, until the
other games drop, goes on sale, use promo or actually wait for
the real score of the game by honest and most importantly unbiased reviews.
