Company of Heroes + Opposing Front was sold at TESCO Hypermarket at RM38, but now no more stock.
Waited weeks to buy 2 more for friends so can play together on the net, but still no stock.
Couldn't buy it as Christmas present.

So back to pirated RA3

How to support legal ware when there is no stock!!!

look2..they got ultraman games la. is it fun?

For starters, I do buy ori games just to support the dev. Coz they really put in good effort to publish the games. I own the NWN1 and NWN2 ori series coz I felt they were really worth it. As well as the BG series.

However, I usually dload some of these games to "try out" 1st before buying. Like CnC3, I "tried" it out 1st b4 buying it coz I really didn't like Red Alert2. And playing demos aren't just enough. Thinking of buying COD5 now that I've played the 1st part.

As other forumer mentioned, the prices are still too steep. Unlike the European countries, the make avg 2000€ a month and the games coz 20-40€ while for us, we make RM2000 a month and games costs RM100-200. Which would be worse if you are a student. I rmb when NWN1 was launched (I was a student then), it took three months of saving before I can get it.

Also, the availability is very limited. As some forumer mentioned, that you can get ori games relatively easily in KL. Have you tried JB? It's not as easy as you think. And not all games are available. For example, I wanted to get the NWN2 expansion Mask of the Betrayer, I tried several shops and even the online ones, they are all out of stock. In the end I got it from Singapore.

Hence I feel that there is much to be improve to have Malaysian citizens support ori stuff. Also forking out RM800 for MS Office which will be outdated in a years' time??!! NO WAY!! Unless MS slash prices to about RM50 or provide free updating of say MS Office 2007 all the way to MS Office 2010, I might consider.

All in all I have mixed feeling regarding this matter. Developers need the support, but we need to eat as well....

malaysians have got a false perspective of the price being steep, honestly PC games are not steep in price. its basically due to our money being small and well thats all to it. if we actually took and calculated games in msia are cheaper then in US or AUS, theres only one shop here in perth that sells for 80aud. and thats even before the currency crash.

the argument on you need to eat also is false, basically if you cant afford it dont buy it. it comes to a simple mentality to everything else, we just had a "false" method of getting the product. you wont complain to gucci to reduce their prices cause you cant afford it right?

I seldom buy pirated games, but i use to DL it.

For me, of couse is Cheap so people like to get it.

lolz did not know tesco got sell old pc games too when will crysis reach tesco shelf i want 2 buy one

there arew reasons y ppl support pirated ... especially at this financial crisis now...

not to say i am against pirated , i do support as well to a certain degree , alto now i started all buying ori ,, i still remember my hard times as a student ..

For a new game release that cost more then my monthly budget? NO WAY!.
Make it cheaper and i buy it. But no cheap like pirated games.

how would feel if you spent over 100 for a game when u know there are better way to spend it ?
tats y i say i understand y ppl go pirated ..

Then,you rather spend RM100 to get a pile of pirated games that dont really work?

Im more incline to get 1 working original games than a pile of pirated games that have lots of problem.

EDIT: Mistake.

few days back i talk to one of the forumer here, he playing pirated GTA 4 with 4850 + C2D, given the excuse that he got no money. but he promise me that he will try to support original and need to save money for a month in order to buy a original game.

then, suddenly his router modem spoil, without the 2nd thought, he go to lowyat and replace a new one.
somehow a wireless router modem which cost about rm 200 is affordable immediately.


another friend of mine always try to support original, somehow he buying / downloading pirated is just to test it out, he said if he like the game he will buy original.

i ask him how many pirated he play this year, he answered me more than 20.
then how many original game that he bought? he remains silent.

yeah, some arse can buy ATI 4850 but cannot afford ori games. wat a bunch of crap

Habits die hard. I don't think Malaysians in general are ready for a paradigm shift in terms of looking at intelectual property as valid piece of work by someone.

We somehow know that someone spent a lot of time and effort making it, but we still don't see how it can cost that much. We still try to justify it by using the 'oh look at me, I'm poor mentality'.

Well no point debating about this really. Its like talking to the deaf.
