i guess so. if its already made and put into the disc you should have access to it considering you own the disc. sometimes i really wanna ketuk those developers. really inconsiderate. at least make an unlock achievement or sumthin. with choice of purchase if person doesnt want to attempt the challenge.

I have always thought that is one of our country's principle

It is Article 999 of the Federal Constitution I remember

It's one of my passion. It doesn't mean I'm dumb, right?

dad debated coz u're spending his money to buy those

How I know if our PM play games or not, but since play orginals = dumb so..

he plays facebook game...nation government

If he said u dumb bcoz buy original, then ask them are ur gf also pirate one.

I think Gumdan's PM is refering to Pr1me_Minister

hahahahaahah!

anyway... the moment he accused you dumb for buying ori, there's no more discussion.

why even bother have this pointless topic?

ask that 'someone' to put himself/herself in this position.

imagine being at home in the dark, jobless, unable to pay the bills and feed his hungry family because people are buying the game he dedicated his sweat, blood and tears for RM10 instead of RM100.

then ask him again if he/she think buying ori game is dumb or not.

to put it in another perspective, imagine your boss firing you because someone is offering 10% of your salary for EXACTLY the same thing you do. in fact, that someone copied what you did/can do and is offering it for 10% of your salary.

do you think its dumb to pay for 'ori' then?

I'm jobless and have many responsibilities and still consider want to play games???

You know what? If that happens, you have the rights to sue the company for wrongful termination. They need to talk to you and have you agree to the termination. And even then they will have to pay you compensation and give you time to get a new job. Most have a post-termination period of 1-2 months, where you're expected to document what you did so far. Feeling POed? Don't document completely- spend more time on hunting for new jobs via JobsDB or Jobstreet or Monster or whatever. If they don't give you post-termination period, my advice is find a lawyer or complain to labor union. That company have violated labor laws.

As for buying pirate, put this way laa. You buy cheap and a lot. But enjoyment factor also less... Too many game, cannot concentrate on finishing one... That's my experience. Also, my experience tells me pirate games got all those intro screens. Do you want to sit through irritating music with screen full of cuss words? Do you want your children to see that?

And then for some very involving games like RPGs, cutscene movies may be removed, BGM/voiceovers may be missing, features removed and some just plain randomly crash at random points and dun let you finish the game due to cheap media and/or poor QC (or overlooked copy protection). And if the game comes with freebies like figures or accessories, expect to not have them too and buy them separately, because games that comes with accessories will often need the accessory in question anyway.

Plus, buy pirate got fear of being caught if you buying suddenly BSA serbu the shop. Also, for console to play pirate game need to mod. And if you mod, you not only lose warranty, if the manufacturer catch you (by firmware update) your console can end up potentially "self destruct" (we use the term "bricked") or blocked from online service. You're in a lose-lose situation, you don't update firmware, you cannot play newer games. You update, your firmware may brick. Yes, a lot of latest gen console games can play online against people all over the world or with friends. If you buy pirate, you effectively put your console and yourself at risk if you play online. If you can at all because they can block pirate games. Even if you find online gaming pointless, the others in your family wouldn't (particularly latest generation, who're very used to the idea of meeting friends online even if you're not. Even women of last gen are already warming up to the idea of online meetings and talking to friends over internet than over phone).

Think about that. Take it from someone who have experienced the dark side and have denounced it.
