- Call of Duty games are being sold at an outrageous price on steam. Games that are 12 years old are being sold at $60 with most of the old Call of Duty titles being unplayable on PC. How does Activision get away with this?

The old games are still expensive by design. The price keeps people from playing the old games. Plain and simple.
Oohhhhhhh I see now damn
Ok that makes sense
Never looked at it this way
Nah i just pirate them and play on mods/private servers if they are gonna charge full price for a unmaintained hacker filled lobbies that are a danger to your pc why would i buy?
They discount the games fairly regularly youre just bitching lol 1:04
this right here is why I'll never judge anyone for pirating the old cod games

No offense to yall, but yall meatriding valve HEAVY
a reminder that the bundle doesent even include every game
only the ones released on steam from WW2 backwards.
As someone pointed out they added MW2019, Cold War, Vanguard, MWII and MWIII to steam however they are not included in the bundle
It includes WW2

@@bl4z3bossmy mistake, but my point still stands that it doesn’t include any games from WW2 onwards
Steam has a 1k balance limit so that's why it doesn't include every game @@michaelsoftbinbows
the only games that are not on steam is Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare 2 Remastered
The worst part about this is that on Steam all the new ones are listed as the same game. You can buy the new one and it just installs under "Call of Duty".
I went to get a refund on the new mw2 after playing like an hour and I couldn't because I had played Warzone for like 60 hours or some shit. It's ridiculous.
that's cod hq for you.
i hate cod hq bro
Pov u grinded mw2 achievements mw3 drops all ur achievements gets deleted, now thats AAA

Wow, I did not know that affected the refund. considering it's activision that's definitely on purpose.
Activision would rather shit out a bare bones shitfest thats over 100gbs of storage than actually give a shit about their games, shoutout to them for taking down mods that does their jobs MUCH better, Activision really saw EA and said "yeah I can top that"

One of the reasons why I think a offline mod with bots and able to level up/ unlock stuff would be fantastic for any multiplayer shooter after everyone left the game. You will always be able to play and experience the game like it was when it came out.

yes but sims 4 has tons of mods, and EA encourages it while Assdivision hire lawyers for their stupid games.

Though EA does that on purpose while running discounts every week, almost.
So the total cost if you play by their rules is like 1k. Still a lot.

For some reason, none of them are even worth it. I went on CoD: Warzone for the first time ever yesterday, there wasn't a single cosmetic I saw and thought "I want that"

Never buy a COD game off steam, unless it's on sale. They do it 1-3 times a year. If you REALLY want them, wishlist, and wait. Easily saved some of my buddies hundreds of dollars over the last few years. But man, what a brain-numbing franchise it's become.

@@Bushberrylink
@@gadrycathadson1285 well console COD is safe to play on the older games. on PC, people will absolutely steal your information and remote into your computer, making it unsafe to play. if you have a ps3 or xbox 360 the servers are back online for the old games on there. When Microsoft bought COD they restored the old game servers. HIGHLY recommend trying it out if you're able... it was a different era of COD.
The worst part is that the base price of the old games doesnt include the dlc. They put cod on sale recently and black ops 2 "on sale" was 30 dollars without any dlc included
Obviously lol
To digitally buy bo2 on the xbox one it cost $60 the only reason i got it was cuz of the spring break sale😂
That because they dont want people to actually buy the old game. There not enough Microtransaction in them you must buy the COD that just actually a DLC for Warzone.
It’s actual bs that these games still exist AT full price may I add and they are pretty much a risk to your PC and real life

You can infact report these games due to the fact they are unsafe to play. Every one of those is against the steam TOS.
Also, Cold War was at least decent, at least in the end.
The hacks could extend to cold war not being safe to play, but that is very rare since they likely banned those people. They took down the each it's self very fast. we are talking less then half a day fast. ( it wa likely due to it being on the old engine)
yeah it wasn't great but it didn't make me want to puke. but good to know on report games because of the TOS!
Hope bo6 takes the same route

this is exactly why i buy pre-owned physical games when i have the option
Gosh man. The bigger the company gets, the less they care. Until they're in their last dying breaths.
Can't believe we've gone from "Stop Killing Games" to "Stop Selling Games" within the span of a few weeks.
I really want to see their reasoning why they don't just hire/integrate the Plutonium/IWx server backends onto the official Steams so its basically free money for them since the community would be glad to advertise the game that way. But no, we're stuck in a situation where its offset to a Discord server/sketchy website to download the client alongside pirating the game.
I wish Activision a 'Have a Nice Life' depiction.

The thing that gets me is the strategy to ruin the balance and art style of the latest cod in order to get people to move on to the next one.
@0:18 AND ALL THE DLC IS STILL FULL PRICE LOL.
If you are wanting to play the old Call of Duty's on steam, don't. Your computer will get hacked...
bro disrespected cold war and forgot cod vanguard and infinite warfare
💁
Infinite warfare has actually good campaign (and replayable just like BO2), for its multiplayer i never cared much about. Cold war is same steaming pille just like MW2022&2023 (campaign and game is inferior to orginal WaW/Black ops trilogy).
infinite warfare was great
Buy the old games from cd keys
It's been what? 8 years? (jeezus)
The hate for Infinite Warfare is just dumb at this point. It's a solid game that was straight up blown up with a de-atomizer the second it was announced.
When a digital bungle for games that are mostly unplayable is more worth than a functioning cheap car.
People tend like old games better nowadays, by keeping old games at a high price,
it discourages players from buying those games, and instead focusing on new games they make.
That’s business strategies for you
Which is funny because not even Ubisoft does this.
The older AC games, while some are a bit expensive, most are dirt cheap when they go on sale.
So it says a lot when Activision decides it wants to subtly prevent people from buying the old games.
Love the fact that you have a lower chance of getting malware pirating the games than actually playing them lol
a third world country gamer pays like 32K like wtf
“What made these game so beloved.” Implying pre modern Call of Duty was not also one of the most hated game franchises of all time in the 2010’s that people loved to hate even with how well it did sales wise.

Really the movement in the OG games was fine, it feels sluggish nowadays but that makes sense your a soldier with over 100 pounds of gear on your back holding a 8 pound rifle with 4 more pounds of ammo on you.
BO3's movement is perfect. I really wish we can have that again
There should be a lawsuit against activision for not monitoring old games MP servers
Bo2 when ghost came out was one sale for 20$ price dropped to 40$ in 2018 when i got curious and now bo2 is 60$ on xbox store wth
It's because everyone wants to play Tranzit and Die Rise obviously 😂
Don't forget about the fact, that they mostly don't do regional prices. I live in the place with 300$ monthly salary. Charging 60$ when your salary is 300 bucks is just diabolical
Funny how the servers suddenly break before the next game is released (planned obsolescence) and they have a cheek to try charge brand new game prices fir games that are 5+ years old looked at cold War on xbox just the other day it's drill £59 shocking

That $1000 bundle isn't even every Call of Duty, I think it stops at WWII. That means 7 games aren't included.

They would lose money if they lower the steam price, you can ask steam for a partial refund if the game you bought now costs less (without being due to a sale)

The funniest part is that buying a physical copy of the older CoD games is way cheaper than buying it digitally
Ima say it: BF: Hardline, but better, would be pretty cool!
If Activision actually listened to the fan-base by getting rid of SBMM, making good campaigns (**cough** MW3), providing support for their older games and recognizing that they shouldn’t be retail price anymore and lowering the prices, they’d actually make more money, and fans would be so much happier, it’d be a win win
they get away with it because they make an unholy amount of money with their microtransactions. 10% of people give them majority of their income. they want you to play the newest title so you also spend your money on MTX. they dont give a rats ass about their older games

Because they know no matter how much cod players complain they'll still buy it so that's why they charge so much if people stopped then they would too but till then they'll keep doing it that's Activision for you
It's pointless buying them though, anyone who does is dumb. I get buying Bo3 on Steam for the zombie mod benefits, but the other games you may as well just pirate and play the supported clients, much more safe. And for console, if you're not buying the discs for less than $5 on Ebay or Facebook marketplace than idk what to tell ya..

Unpopular opinion: It is their game and they can charge whatever they want. However, it is our right to hate Activision and call them the worst company
"It is their game and they can charge whatever they want" And we, as the consumer, are able to criticize the prices.
“Activision should be completely ashamed of themselves!” LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Did bro just call bo3 "boots on the ground"?
I said it was a mix
Buy the old games from cd keys
They don't want people to play these games for a reason. Old CoD games have little to no monetization.
The only fucking game I see worth it to buy as of today is minecraft.
I fucking hate the video game industry.
And I only say that about minecraft because I don't want to get fucking malware.
It's a pain.
The Java version, not Bedrock.
Like, you want *me* to buy a mod on Bedrock that is only half as good as something free on Java.
And buying Java is better than just Bedrock since you get BOTH
I suggest we all band together and make it clear that we want these games to be fixed and updated so it doesn’t fuck our systems and ruin our matches. I’ve never gotten the chance to experience the multiplayer for COD games and would absolutely love to have the chance.
how is it legal? its activisions IP, they can do whatever they want with it, put peoples PCs at risk? as long as their EULA you agreed to says "we are not responsible for the actions of Call of Duty players" they are bared from legal responsibility
Edit: also as to why Activision doesn't "take the things that make people want the old games" its simple, the things people liked are the opposite of what makes Activision money
people find skins annoying, Activision makes the vast majority of their money of microtransactions
people find the crazy movement annoying, streamers don't and streamers are free attention, which means free money
everything people like about old COD doesn't make the buckets of money Microtransactions and streamers make
how much do microtransactions make? I know someone who's spent over $8,000 in Fortnite, he knows someone who's spent over $12,000, Actvision is worried things like H2M will drag those players away, not players in general, but the big spenders, the whales, because losing even just 1 of them could mean losing thousands of dollars of revenue, if H2M dragged away a single whale, it could cost Activision thousands of dollars
Very fair point! At least now I know that I can report the games through Steam since they break the TOS.
And yeah thats another good point. The people who spend tons of money leaving would be a big concern for Activision. But I think there is a way to monetize the game and make it one that contains content people want. Example: A prestige system (which is apparently in BO6).
Buy the old games from cd keys
Eula ISA joke… they make ya sign it before you can even play it or even buy it sometimes., but Sony and some companies n won’t let ya take it back as soon as you press “ENTER”. Yet how are we supposed to know of it works or not?!
The fact that the disc version of CoD2 costed me a quarter of what it costs on Steam right now, nearly 18 years ago, is honestly fucked up.

the reason behind it is by design, why spend 40$-60$ on an old game with outdated mechanics, bad graphics, hackers, and cheaters, when you can spend 60$ on the slop they put out, they dont care for making the best game they just want you buying the new ones everytime

@@Bushberry did you say that BOCW was BAD!?!?!?!?
It makes sense. They do NOT want you to play the old games. They want you to buy next product and consume product and wait for next product
Seeing as Activision has copy and pasted the same game for a decade now, while also charging an arm and a leg in microtransactions, I'll never buy another game from them ever again.
Around october 2023, Activision actually RAISED the price across the board in Brazil (And I suppose maybe other regions too).
For example, BO2 went from R$110 to R$274... An astonishing 250% price increase on a game from 2012
If WAW and BO1-3 were bundled, it would be worth it due to the insane number of custom zombie maps across those four games. The rest aren't worth it for PC.
the biggest criminal thing they did is they put the MW remaster on sale after the H2M mod got announced. and then they sent a cease and decist the mod the day prior to the release just trying to cash in on something they didn't even do and then ripping it away from people as well.
You have a few different options with this. You either be an actual npc, like a legitimate unironic npc, and buy the new cod games. Or don't be an npc, and play the peak games only, still gonna cost a chunk, but you're getting your money's worth. Or you be an absolute chad, and stop giving money to Activision, and play better games as a whole.
