Lower the price of Civilization Revolution on Xbox Store


Lower the price of Civilization Revolution on Xbox Store
The Issue
Civilization Revolution, released in 2008, remains priced at a steep £19.99 on the Xbox Game Store, despite the passage of time and advancements in the series. Loyal fans of the Civilization franchise have supported the game for over a decade, reliving the strategic challenges it offers with nostalgia and fervor. However, it is becoming increasingly unjustifiable to maintain such a high price point for a game that is nearly two decades old, especially when more recent titles, like Civilization VI, receive significant discounts that bring their costs down to as little as £4.99 – an 80% reduction from its original price.
Such disparity in pricing strategy seems not only illogical but unfair to players who wish to revisit older games without breaking the bank. Players deserve equitable pricing for older titles, particularly when the same creators and rights-holders are involved across the series. By adjusting the price of Civilization Revolution, Microsoft would not only acknowledge the game's historical and nostalgic significance but also show appreciation for its long-time supporters.
The gaming industry has seen rapid evolution, with new technologies and more immersive games appearing every year. Consequently, lower pricing for older games ensures they can still compete in the ever-expanding market and continue to be enjoyed by both new and returning players without financial barriers.
Lowering the price would be a significant gesture of goodwill toward the community, fostering continued engagement and loyalty. Therefore, we call on Microsoft to re-evaluate the pricing of Civilization Revolution, setting a price that respects the game's age and aligns with comparable offers in the franchise. By doing so, they can secure a broader base of satisfied and engaged players who feel valued and appreciated.
Join us in advocating for a just and reasonable pricing adjustment for Civilization Revolution. Let's make access to this classic title fair and accessible for everyone. Please sign this petition to bring about this change.
