An Activision Blizzard earnings call earlier this week turned our heads when the company's president, Robert Kostich, didn’t give a straight answer in regards to a question about pricing for next-gen titles. Seems simple enough - if Activision’s game prices were going to stay the same they would have just said so. However, the Activision Blizzard president deflected and talked about how much “extra entertainment value” the new next gen titles are going to have...and we all know what that means. Activision is just the next in line waiting to charge $70 for all games moving into the future. Clutch your wallets and dive on in, we’re cutting through the corporate bull today on Inside Gaming Daily!

okay here is a crazy idea we dont buy the cod till they say will reduce the price

5 years ago

@bogregory82 Prices gonna go up for pretty much every new game on PS4/Xbox Series X. Could be worse, were paying 79.99 for new games in Canada, 90 after tax. Now it'll be 89.99, 100 after tax

5 years ago

@Groleau1212 Check your exchange rates though. 79.99 CAD is the same as 60 USD. They don't cost a dime more over here besides the higher sales tax. And that 10 dollar CAD difference is only a 7 dollar USD difference, meaning we'll get the better deal than them.

5 years ago

If a game's main story is less than 10 hrs, IDC what game it is it's not worth 60 dollars let alone 70. If the game is a 25+ hr campaign, I honestly don't have any problem paying 70 for that. I buy fewer games overall, but I'm constantly looking at what will give me the best deal.

5 years ago

@RedMustang1991 Could be worse, right now in Canada we pay 79.99 for games, after tax that's 90. Games are now gonna be 89.99, 100 after tax.

5 years ago

despite the criminal increase in price, it will still sell like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic. Activision know this and don't give a shit.

$70 500+GB the next cod needs its own ssd lmao until it becomes true..
