Some games are clearly not worth this price to begin with, if there was immense amounts of content and additions (patches + mods + add-ons) designed by the developers of these games, then perhaps they are worth the sticker they carry upon release.</p><p>One example - MOA - Airbourne, thank goodness I did not buy it when it initially came out, as there was only a good 10hours of gameplay. 10hoours does not equal $90. The Sims is another example of treating the consumer as an idiot (I buy the originals, but never the expansions, I bought The Sims 3 today).</p>RodrricoThu, 11 Jun 2009 22:09:17 -0000http://www.ablogwithadifference.com/2008/12/10-most-pirated-games-of-2008.html#comment-5770401<p>The funny thing is that if you download DRM protected games, you won't have any trouble with the DRM because it's been taken out. It's ironic really.</p><p>But no the list does not surprise me. Prices of games have been getting higher and higher lately and some games are simply not worth 60 euro. Spore was a highly anticipated game but turned out to be quiet boring in the end. I played through it once and I don't think I'll play through it again any time soon. It was a collosal waste of money for me.</p><p>The Sims is just to expensive to keep buying the expansions. Twelve expansions times 25 euro. You do the math. Gaming companies should take a look at themselves and see what they are doing wrong. Not every game is equaly worth it's money.</p>TigerXtrmMon, 02 Feb 2009 04:56:25 -0000
