IMO, it depends on the which brings the most value. for low income people, pirated games bring more value coz they can spend less to play more. for people who tot tat after sales service is important so they can get patches and fixes for thier games they'll most probably buy original games. it also depends on how the person's spending behaviour. quite some reasons tat will affect us to buy whether ori/pirated games. it depends on how do we wana spend our money...
