It all boils down to the fact that PC Games is an interactive form of entertainment;we'll not going to die if we don't get it. However,when it comes to spending $100-$200RM for a single game, then we have to make judgment call.Easily that money here could feed a family of 4 for a week.
Simple economics would tell you that an average Malaysians would be willing to fork out $50RM for entertainment in a week.Hence,why many of us choose pirated games.
I purchase lots of original games,personally,but of late,Secu-rom disc and the need to be hooked online(STEAM) are such hassle.If things don't get better I too have join to the darkside.
