I ask because two of the biggest scumbag companies with bad reps have been trying to raise their PC game prices by $10. No packaging, disk duplication, manual printing, distribution, or any of the other costs of producing physical copies. They're saving money and raising the prices. On the console side, they're still paying for all these things AND paying Sony/Microsoft an additional licensing fee. That's why console games were $10 more to begin with.

I'm curious to see if console gamers, who usually (incorrectly) think gaming on a PC is too expensive, would still buy games if they got a $10 price hike.

Personally, I won't buy anything more than $50. Steam has awesome sales, but Activi$ion kept COD4 at $50 more than a year after it's release. Modern Warfare 2 is a year old and they have it on Steam now for $60.

Insane.
