Are you the Author?
You ahve recently announced that it is going to raise the price of your game "Modern Warfare 2" to 55 in the UK, making it a whole 15 more expensive than almost every other new release to come out this generation.
As consumers, we cannot allow you, as a company, to pull this off, as we feel it will only be a precursor to further price hikes in the future, and at a price point of 55, means that we are paying $90 USD, whereas in America, the price is $60.
The pound is STILL strong enough to sustain the price point of 40, and this stunt is only being pulled off "because Activision knows the market will pay extra", in the words of Michael Pachter, industry analyst.

Don't think that this merely effects the United Kingdom, however. Knowing that one (geographically) small country will pay more for a new release, will only send the message to you that people worldwide are willing to do the same.
In that same respect, if the world decides against your decision, be rest assured that as a whole we can make a difference.
As a gaming community, we cannot allow this to happen!

    • This petition is dumb. It's not a 15 increase, it's a 5 increase.

    • Ridiculous price, and purely due to the success of the previous installment. The excuses made by Activision are pathetic, and shows how little they really care about the people that made them as huge as they are. Sort it out.
