EA Outs Battlefield 4, Plans To Charge $70 For New Games

Posted by Soulskill on from the first-person-inflaters dept.

Justus writes "Posts at NeoGAF and IGN show that a quickly-removed Origin advertisement for Medal of Honor: Warfighter reveals plans for Battlefield 4 and a new-game cost of $70. With Battlefield 3 DLC promised through 2013 and PC games cheaper than ever with things like the Steam Summer Sale, are gamers ready to buy Battlefield 4 at next-gen pricing?"

    Sorry but since you don't pay them any money you are not entitled to call yourself a customer and your opinion is irrelevant.

    Stop complaining about game prices, you only make yourself look stupid.

    $50 in 2002 = $63.86 today
    $50 in 1992 = $81.82 today
    $50 in 1982 = $120.04 today

    Games have actually gotten cheaper, not more expensive over the decades, because their prices have not kept up with inflation.
