2. Set a decent second hand policy that doesn’t rely on subterfuge. I got into trouble in my local game, as a woman in front of me was offered BFBC2 for 2 quid less than full price at the counter, after taking the full price one to the counter. She was about to accept, until I made the staff tell her that she would have had to pay 8 quid to play the game online – she chose not to buy it at all and thanked me profusely.The sales guy called his manager who took my money but wasn’t impressed. Either make 2nd hand games good value (maximum 50% of RRP) or don’t bother.

3. Stop some online companies selling PC versions of games that have used Steam codes – it’s just robbery.

4. Stop the DLC crap we are all subjected to – once you have bought a game, the only content you should have to pay for should be a significant expansion. As in, minimum 4 to 6 hours of extra gaming for a fair 5 quid. NOT 5 maps for £12, 3 of which are recycled from an older version of the game (COD again).

Please stop finding excuses to refuse to start in offline mode. I don’t understand how you could be trying to update while I’m offline. I mean, if you knew there was an update, why didn’t you do it the last time I was online. And if you didn’t, how do you know it now while I’m offline.

I’m serious, you’re ruining my plane trips, which I happen to have more often than you think.

I believe that’s due to the higher taxes in EU

Agree 100%. All game orders include a billing address, so they know where i live. If a deal is not available in my country, why offer it?

I have no problem with buying from your site. I am willing to ignore the whole fiasco with Steam on ONE condition – You are cheaper than not only them, but than retail. I’m not going to buy anything from Origin because it’s Origin, Origin offers me nothing. All I want is to pay the smallest amount of money as possible. Thank you.

The map pack is not an exclusive to anyone, if you pre-ordered it you’ll get it. It’s the Physical Warfare pack that is exclusive.

How can they claim it’s hurting sales? What’s actually hurting sales is there rapidly diminishing stock of PC games…

Origin is WAY too expensive. They want you to pay 35 pounds for Crysis 2 that is 10 pounds elsewhere. I have no problem buying games from Origin, provided they’re the cheapest.

Best example of regional pricing shite like this is the PSVita. What was it again? $249 and 249 Euros? This is disgraceful.

Dear Internet Retailer

Don’t make me register on your site before letting me buy something!

By all means, let me volunteer to save my details and create an account automatically after buying. Don’t force me to join your site and receive your spam.

You’ll annoy customers less and make more money. Do it today.

I think Gamersgate is actually adjusting prices abit depending on currency exchange rates, but I’m not sure.

Almost everyone in the entire industry is guilty of regional pricing bollocks.

I suppose GOG should be singled out for praise here.

1 EUR does not equal 1 USD.

‘Nuff said.

It’s even more irritating that I get their marketing e-mails with these games in. BUY THIS GAME FOR NOT MANY DOLLARS NOW oh actually no never mind I changed my mind.

Can we pretend that this was due to this thread? Go this thread! Success!

Thanks

The PC game selection at my local game is RIDICULOUS. They don’t even have a PC games chart now – just some mixed stuff with a considerable focus on Sims titles. At least Gamestation have a pre-owned section where you can potentially grab a classic and/or a bargain.

GameInformer gets the exclusive on pretty much every big game reveal; it would be nice for people outside the US to have a chance at the digital version at least.
