The price is letting most people down, most of you guys (students) have their rig been sponsored by their parents. Some of us here is not, and limited funds, especially who don' have MARA, PTPTN and such

I only have 1 original game, and that is because my cousin gives me. All others are pirates (around 30 games in all). Its not like I'm supporting those pirates, but its just not a necessary thing for me, and far too expensive. Toll, fuel, eat, and my PC is fully depends RM100 per week (not including semester break, where I don't given any money), and I travel about 80km per day, and that purely from college to home.

I need to keep some money for emergency too, just in case for rainy days

student prob is not about pirate game IMO,
is the application like photoshop, ms office which easily cost about rm1k..

are u saying gaming is necessary for u?

There are open source equivalent. I found i never had to resort to pirated photoshop. And even office
You are in luck. The trend now is going towards free to play persistent world games. Good for cheapskates And its perfectly legal too. Check out Battlefield Heroes and Mythos when they are done that is...both look really good. I'm afraid if you buy pirate you still support them even if your conscience says otherwise. Try to look for free indie games lah....suppor the guys who worked really hard to make great games...

One thing is, I only buy original audio CD for now

Audio CDs,i will never buy them.Rather just buy a digital version or get them from P2P networks.Dont want to go through the process of converting them to MP3s.Besides,what i usually listen is independent music.You cant get most of them from a music store.

Unless it's Explosion in the Sky...

i still remember old days i support original
Half life 2 i bought ori (game of the year at that time sia) but sigh.....i felt dizzy and like wanna vomit when i ply it , holy crap rm189 wasted bcoz i juz cant ply the game. if i dled pirated as demo n try it out its good

yeah i agree, pirate games are easy to get and cheap and it also got alot problem
i dun think now is easy to get since alot of area cannot sell pirates games

Sometime u play your favourite games that u wait for decade and u play pirate and always giv u such a headache error, would u still playing pirate or get original once in a while?
