You know what’s crazy? The original Modern Warfare 3 from 2009 is still $40 on steam. Black Ops 2 from 2012 is $60.

COD pricing is insane. For comparison the Halo MCC which includes six games, two of which are remastered, is $40.

I think CoD pricing is affected by the fact that usually, it’s mum that’s paying for it

Are zoomers lining up around the block to play the Black Ops 1 campaign? Just seems absurd after over a decade to not drop the price to a reasonable level.

No, I don’t believe that’s the reason.

The reason is most likely because they want people to always but the newest game because they don’t want to split up their player base.

They are smoking unfiltered crack at activision-blizzard. Just don’t play them. Or pirate. Not like they are a very wonderful company to their own employees.

In fact, it’s actually better to pirate them and use Plutonium for Multiplayer. This is due to the fact that many pre-Infinite Warfare Call of Duty titles have unpatched RCE vulnerabilities that Activision never bothered to fix, but have been in Plutonium.
