I know... It seems like they are following COD.
I have the PS3 version, $45 used from GameCrazy. I would buy the PC version at a similar price in addition to that. Yes, two copies for two platforms. NO WAY IN HELL IT IS WORTH $60. F*ck that. Not gonna happen...
I'm not entirely sure, but I think Assassins Creed isn't a multiplayer game, which means it will be cracked in every way possible.
I would (and do currently) pay $50.00 for a PC game title, online or not. At a price of $60.00, they will not see me buy it. -and I DO speak with my wallet.
This is just more more cluelessness from idiot execs from UBI as far as I can see. Their loss. They automatically lost a sale from me for any PC title more than $50.00.
Easy decision for me...
UBI - If your financials observe THG, you really need to listen to this:
I am fully capable of pulling down a torrent and pirating pretty much anything I really want to use in an offline sense (knowing online play require some kind of per-user key).
I buy my software knowing I am supporting devs, although my ceiling for payment is $50.00. I am not alone.
UBI - Imagine your game(s) being the most pirated in history. At a price of $50.00 it matters to me, as this is the price I expect to pay for a PC game title. And I will pay that.
At $60.00, may the software pirates have their way with you and your financials suffer as a result. Period.
click on the gpu charts at the top of the page. nice comparisons there.
ATI HD2900, HD3870, HD4770 - HD4890, HD5670 - HD5970
nVidia 8800 GT/S(G92), 8800GTX, 9600GT(Not GSO), 9800, GTS250 - GTX295
Is too confusing and long.
One can only hope for pc exclusive titles and new consoles in the pipeline.
They will keep doing this as long as there are idiots buying these games at the jacked prices. For those who will flame me for calling them (or you) idiots, you'll stfu when games are 80 bucks, won't you?
Then it ain't worth 10 bucks
delayed for months
It started with Activision and Modern Warfare 2. And I agree, I would only pay $50.00 for an absolute must have title....$60.00 is crossing a line that I'm not going to support.

and they wonder why people pirate games....
but you can get new games for like 50aud, where its 90 in shops...just search around, and preorder by months..
or pirate
plus is that the saves are done online, will have unlimited installs, and won't require disc to be in the drive....
have fun, gamers!!

Also means that when they deem their game end of life'd you can no longer play, and that you're dependant on their servers in order to play. So it means you cannot play when servers are undergoing maintainance - broken or something between you and the server blocks access. Even though you have paid for the service you're not able to receive it. It's a good busines model, but it is really bad for consumers.
You can thank greedy, greedy Activision and Infinity Ward for that. To my knowledge they were the first successful developers to charge $60 for a PC game.
