Ridiculous. Back when the first string of maps for mutliplayer games first kicked off on Xbox Live, people screamed that $10 was too much. Those who followed the Ghost Recon saga remember that mess well as UbiSoft began the trend of pricing that has come standard. Now, Activision has taken it a step up. Realizing they [...]

Silly PC gamers, $60 price tags are for console gamers… maybe not anymore.
