What we asked:

Q: If prices on new PC games get raised up to $60, would you still buy games before their price drops?
(628 votes total)

I already don't buy games at full price (226) 36%
No, I would wait for the price to drop (204) 32%
Yes, but only specific games (183) 29%
Yes, definitely (15) 2%

The majority of poll participants (36%) already don't buy games at full price, so any price increase would make their buying even less likely.

32% of those who voted would wait for the price to drop before buying, if PC game prices got raised up to $60.

29% of participants in the poll would still buy PC games with a price tag of $60, but only specific titles.

Finally, only 2% of all who voted would definitely still buy PC games at $60, even before their price drops.

Who in their right mind would buy the games before they dropped? I mean, $60 bucks is a lot for a PC game. Wait for it to drop. Fight big business, don't aid their idiotic escapades.

The key to it all is in the 29%... nearly one third of people would still buy games they wanted badly before the price drop, no matter the price. The number is probably just high enough for the publishers to dare to raise prices, at least on sure-hit titles.
