What the petition asks
The price of ps4 and Xbox games are getting TOO high £52 for a new game and then for full experience a further £30-40 for a season pass for something that in 3 months drops dramatically. Around Christmas time when children want the latest games the pressure is immense as parents capping is needed
Ps4 call of duty £52 season pass rises to £97. Fifa 18 £52 with constant paid add ons for ultimate team cards is astronomical especially during the Christmas period.
Once a game is bought that should be it. No add on / under handed added payments something needs addressing to tackle the gaming companies who probably avoid tax payments to give something to the consumer rather than trying to screw as much out of them as possible.
