From Ars Technica:
Gamers have long put up with the $60 price tag associated with the release of current-generation console games, but PC games have largely avoided the trend with $50 or under price points for new games. It looks like that trend may be coming to a close, as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is being spotted online at a $60 price point for the PC.
Arguably, one of the reasons the PC games market has been able to sustain itself after years of doomsayers predicting its demise is because prices have stayed relatively cheap compared to their console counterparts. $40 to $50 was the norm, but Activision is willing to test out that $60 price point so common in the Xbox 360 and PS3 markets.
Does anyone else see a potential danger in doing this, especially in the already shaky PC market? Smart move or blockheaded?
