The Next CoD could be $70+ - Inside Gaming Daily

from Inside Gaming Daily Hosted by Inside Gaming

Protect your online privacy today at http://expressvpn.com/inside. An Activision Blizzard earnings call earlier this week turned our heads when the company's president, Robert Kostich, didn’t give a straight answer in regards to a question about pricing for next-gen titles. Seems simple enough - if Activision’s game prices were going to stay the same they would have just said so. However, the Activision Blizzard president deflected and talked about how much “extra entertainment value” the new next gen titles are going to have...and we all know what that means. Activision is just the next in line waiting to charge $70 for all games moving into the future.
