Days after Microsoft acquired part of the rights from Activision Blizzard, the games received a price increase on Steam.
Coincidentally or not, Activision games increase in price on Steam right after the acquisition by Microsoft. Apparently, not all of the producer's games received a price increase, however, the Call Of Duty franchise It is among the games with the highest values.
Certainly, this was very sad news for PC gamers, as in fact, even the oldest games had an absurd increase, some of them even tripled in price in Valve store.
According to rumors, they point out that the price adjustment was caused by the movement and readjustment of the currency in some countries. Therefore, countries such as Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Philippines and South Africa received price adjustments in their Steam stores. However, countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Costa Rica and Europe (where you pay in euros) did not receive any type of adjustment.
In fact, 2023 was a year to be marked by price adjustments. Playstation Plus and Xbox Gamepass received corrections to their services. However, this Steam readjustment It does not seem to be the same case, as the value was not applied globally, but rather to just some regions.
Most expensive games in Brazil? Only on PC!!
However, Brazil and Argentina appear to be the most affected by these price adjustments. So, of all the countries affected by the readjustment, Brazilian territory was the most impacted by the large increase in Activision game prices. Next, we leave the comparative and historical graph of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 prices.
It can be seen that, in 2009, for example, the game went from R$34.90 to R$91.90. Sekiro Shadow Die Twice went from R$199.90 to R$274.00. However, games like Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash N Sane Trilogy did not receive such a significant price increase, the games can be found for R$184.00 (the price before the increase was R$150.00).
Therefore, of all the absurdities seen in the increase in price of Activision games on Steam one stands out. Call of Duty Black Ops 2 It is a relatively old game, released in 2012, however, the game jumped from R$109.90 to R$274.
However, the curious part is that not all games had a price increase. Tony Hawk 1+2 and Singularity, for example, continued with the same values. However, another relatively old game, Prototype from 2009 jumped from R$34.99 to R$91.90.
Conclusion
Anyway, to date, there have been no price adjustments on other platforms. So, we are waiting for an official statement from the developer to find out the real reasons for the readjustment only on PC, and why the Activision games increase from price on Steam.
