    Why is the Windows version so expensive?


    I am an avid pc gamer. I Purchased Gears of War day 1 of release last month and planned to purchase Quantum Break, but $60? I could have purchased the Xbox game for that and traded it in....I will not pay $60 for any game. What is Microsoft thinking?
    Gears of War was priced right....

    Unable to buy Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition

    Also, I don't think this would be exactly why the code didn't work, but the one you gifted is the Xbox One version, not the Windows version.

    Gears of War is also a re-release, whereas Quantum Break is a brand new triple-A title, which tend to run $60 a pop these days. Dragon Age Inquisition, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, etc.. all $60 for the base game, then there are usually extra costs for any
    DLC released. You didn't have to worry about that with Gears because it isn't brand new. Halo Anniversary and Fable Anniversary were both much cheaper than a brand new title.

  5. I think 63.75 is worth considering all that you get but that's just my opinion.

    Plus game prices have dropped from what they used to be. I'm sure the younger gamers see a rise in price but if you go back to the late 80's and early 90's you can see what I mean. $60 is cheap for what you get.

    Minecraft Xbox One edition price

    why is it so expensive? i already paid for the XBOX 360 version so why are they making us buy it again at such a high price?

    Why so expensive?

    @Falkje

    Depending on where you purchase your games from they can indeed be very expensive, there are some online game discount shops you can check instead of your local gameshops like Gamemania which tends to try and put out the maximum price they can.

    You can try alternatives like Amazon , Ebay or one that I personally use aswell GameDumper.nl which currently has The Witcher 3 Premium edition (for pre order) for roughly 55€. But you can do some research online for other websites which ship games. Just
    make sure to do some thorough investigation to make sure they are safe websites to purchase from.

    Hope this helps you out :)
