Developing a game these days arent cheap at all,as most game cost almost as much as a Hollywood movie.

If they gonna reduce the price of their games to suit your needs,how they gonna keep their business afloat? Developing a game aint charity.

Besides,Steam does provide cheap games almost every weekend with price range of RM10 to RM70 which is pretty reasonable.This also means that if retail is too expensive,wait for Steam offers or get cheap budget copies.If you dont have a credit card,edison and deimos would be more than happy to help you to buy the games.

Im not rich,but i do respect people's intellectual property and hard work.I rather dont play,if i cant play the game via legal means,than pirate it by torrenting or buying pirated.

Kinda agree. If saying about game too expensive. I think movie and music still have room to go cheaper than games, since movie and music recording company pay huge pay cheque to Actor and music artist, which is kinda unnecessary. But the trend for Hollywood is changing recent years, they prefer getting new actors that perform equally good/better than getting expensive senior actors. Again I am a person who not too fancy about brand names they are overrated. I am more looking into values.

Games/software on the the hand is really that expensive to develop. We are not on a 1 man developer arcade game like the old game tetris anymore.

To add on that steam is a good way to reduce the game price.

I am just waiting where the industry have sales big enough that the cost of a big title game can be as low as a few bucks. It is something like we are paying RM6 for legally watch a blockbuster Hollywood movie. (which I wonder why they are charging us soo much pricer on a legal copy of DVD movie LOL<-- they really should change this)
