ah, a never ending quest to rid piracy out of Malaysia.

From a consumer's stand point, it's undeniably affordable and with so many choices at low prices. you can play anything u want, but can you really play everything?

From a developer/publisher's point of view, these products must pay for salaries and of course, intellectually property. no matter how expensive it is, it's their right to charge whatever price they want. it was their property at the end.

so if u can't afford everything, just but what you want. not only do you enjoy the game more, you appreciate it more and remember it in the later years.

reviews exist to help consumers choose, so read more, go buy PC Gamer Malaysia!

like myself, i can't frigging remember what i bought and i finished, then don't appreciate what i played till i stopped and started being selective.

in Singapore, i saw this anti-piracy campaign slogan: piracy kills creativity. simply put: do you see any good Jackie Chan or Chow Sing Chi or Chow Yun Fatt movies anymore? NO! it's because they got tired of making movies that don't pay their salary.

remember, just buy what you want, you can't have everything in this world. choose what you want to play and you'll start enjoying your games more than before.

my comments to posts above:

just consider? then Malaysia has a long way to go in combating piracy.

remember, you're paying for what you use and not some silly box. do u use the box? or the software installed in your PC?

hmm, this has always been a mystery to me. there are a number of shops that sell originals, even them Low Yat shop has.

FYI, Mid Valley, One Utama, Summit USJ, Digital Mall, Sunway Pyramid and The Curve all carry original games now. maybe not all the games but they have originals there.

i feel u dude, i feel u.
