The games published by Activision on the PC Platform and the online marketplace Steam are overpriced in most regions, and older games have not depreciated in value.

For example, when buying from Australia, Call of duty 4 is still 49.99USD, Black Ops II is still $89.99 USD and Advanced Warfare is still $59.99 USD. Considering the cyclical nature of the Call of Duty titles in particular, the value of these products decreases over time. Players will most likely migrate to the newer games, and the older games (especially DLC maps) lose all value.

For players wanting to purchase for a particular reason, ie: older zombies maps, the DLC packs do have value, but the full asking price includes multiplayer maps that are impossible to play in an online ranked environment to the same standard as was previously available.



Activision: Please make your older games more accessible to regions outside the US and EU by pricing in a more appropriate manner that encourages people to purchase. Reflect the ongoing depreciation in value in your pricing, and give us the opportunity to pay reasonable prices for older releases.
