Thats what im doing now.

Support a few devs that i really enjoy playing their games.At the same time,try to avoid pirated as they just dont work,most of the time.Putting the funds for original would be a better move.

lolwut ... so true...

some people kepo2 bout their ori game and keep bashing those who buy pirate, but when comes to other stuff they are in same level/team LOL

only if i have enough dough and when i think the ori software is reasonably priced.if games i need a demo 1st and if it runs welll on my pc and i like it i'll get it.and i have to add this on (i tink malaysia gvt should give alll the other isp a chance and stop this monopolising crap,i mean cmon u give the high speed broadband project to tm and its already crap and why not give hsbt company a chance,when will we malaysian gamers be able to game online the way it should be played?!)with my sh*t internet i gave up on counter strike source and team fortress and many great titles thanks alot tmnut.
i have to admit this though i torrented left 4 dead from the internet because i really think its a cool game but i didnt want to get dissapointed from being unable to play it online because of the lag and that is why i was afraid to buy the ori 1.
i am not very kaya myself.imagine u bought a great game that is only fun online u got home happily installed the over rm50 game.u head online excitedly and ur ping ends up RED!!and i will start cursing tmnet and their monopolising crap again.lucky for left 4 dead it works thru gg arena but its not as easy to get into a room and sometimes there is little people playing on gg arena.

Pirated and Original the quality is the same and pirated is cheaoer

nah, the only thing I don't want to download/buy pirated is the hassle of updating patch and require specific tools to jack a rom in order to open the installer, as I haven't play games for like...what, 3 years ?

You know what I hate about pirates? Not only they do not feel ashamed for buying pirated software, and they somewhat feel its universally acceptable to do so. They give childish excuses for what they do when confronted, refusing to learn what dreadful consequences will emerge when they keep up their illegal practice. Some pirates feel proud on what they do, openly "supporting" piracy! This disgust me the most, as the shameless pirates are even bold enough to insult ori-supporters. Pirating software are FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG i feel frustratingly angry when pirates believed there's nothing to be ashamed of, continue to destroy my beloved gaming industry. For the love of anything still righteous, this forum actually does not welcome pirates here! How dare you pirates to show your face and spit your foul reasons here? Begone!

i live in south Korea so the games sold in Korean language.


let say if i buy the game but install the download version and use ori cdkey, is it will works well?

An interesting article about computer hardware failure by Benchmark Review:

2008 The Computer Hardware Industry Failure

Interestingly, I would have thought they would mentioned piracy in that article but seems odd they didn't.

Have a read, it's quite interesting.

Don't think that's related. More a case of computer hardware being a victim of its own success. It's now not unusual for hardware development to outpace software requirements.

Anybody with a decent mutlicore PC is set for the next few years, For Joe User, how much faster does he need a computer to be?

It's only the die-hard PC enthusiasts that will keep chasing the hardware upgrade cycle and they're probably realising that they are such a small minority after all. Who woulda thunk it?

Since when?

Original's quality is way better than pirated.

some might. which is why for example my GTA is bought here, but because
- The Asian version is censored
- I hate Securom
- I don't even have a DVD drive
I downloaded the ISO and used the key to activate my copy.

link, might to share with me that who told you GTA asian version is censored?

meaning you buy original copy but just use the given number to activate the game?

i plan to use this method on COD world at war.
afraid if buy cant get english.

if original copy..
1 pc only can install eh?

securom always means trouble just like what happened to bioshock and you can only install a few times that is so damn ****ed.

most cases basis yes...

in rare/small cases same ... fallout 3 as example

lolz they don't care anyway...i dare admit i am a minority myself as i am planning 2 jump ship 2 the core i7 zone one day the same minority concept also applies 2 how many people who can actually afford ferrari or other exotics with other costs 2 bare so there you go...changing 2 anything new like changing shoes frequently is not harmful as long as money tree stays with you

That's always been the case. It's the minority that drives technology. Hardcore users like you are what allows people like me to pick up something like the i7 for half the price in a year's time. I admit I'm a tech geek, too, just a poor one

Same with your Ferrari analogy. What they pioneer trickles down to dinky family saloons but imagine if you will that thanks to Ferrari engine development, even your average Honda Civic is now pumping out more than 200bhp. It's still nothing compared to a F430, sure, but it's more than enough for uncle and aunty.

So no need to upgrade already so even if the high-end products boast 1,000bhp (like the Veyron) the majority just think it's unnecessary and silly. Hence, the stagnation.
