For me, i can't afford to buy Ori games at all. There are better thigns to spend on then to buy a game. Games unfortunately are created in US and thus you have to factor in the exchange rate to a certain degree.

Compare to any US graduate who works there with a EE degree. your pay per year is like 40-50k? heh even at minimum wage, it's at 1.8k per month. To them, a new original game isl ike 40-50USD. older ones drop to maybe 20-30. that's still very affordable for someone with a 1.8k per month salary, definately for someone with a 40-50k per year salary (that's roughly 3-4k per month)

But for us, it's like 100 - 200? for each original game? nah not worth it.

Need to save for cars, house, property investments.. and such..

How bout this..

Saving money instead of buying original but you buy pirated.

Assuming 1 Original game outside is 150RM.

if you don't buy 1 original game you save 150RM right?

assuming you don't buy 10 original games that you usually would have bought.. (CnC3, NWN2, Stalker.. and such) , that means you have 1500RM more to spend on other stuff... you could easily get a better video card, 19inch LCD, alot of other stuff. games? you can always download them somewhere or get them from friends.


1 GB DDR2 667 Ram = 185RM
1 Video card 7600GT , 128bit, 256MB DDR3 AGP8X - 544RM
1 Geforce 8800GTS 320bit 320MBDDR3 - 1477


Think of it as an investment you could have done on other stuff rather then just games.. or.. think of it that if you stick with your current video card, you can't play your original games at max resolution...
It's all about preference i guess, personally i would prefer to make my money's worth

so... save up to 1500 so i can afford the 8800GTS so when crysis comes out i can play that with DX10?? or should i keep buying origi game and play them as i like?
