for me the exchange rate isn't a matter to be seen

but what's more important is the fact that our standards of living here are crap and considering how prices of everything = rapidly increasing. salary = constantly being constant

which leads to people not even wanting to buy an original DVD which is worth RM 20-40

earning 1.3k in uk will leave u with extras after grocery and some extra fun

earning 1.3 in malaysia will leave u partially broke after grocery leaving little space for fun.


not to sound unpatriotic
it's just how i see things are around here ^^

my 2 cents.

so yeah ppl dont want to fork out rm 20-40 for an original DVD movie

which leads to

if that's true for the adults ( as mentioned 28 above ) what about the younger ones spending for ori games which are like 100-250 at best.

though i have to admit buying original games does give u a good feeling and the little extras pirated ones dont get.
but still.... it's not worth it

exactly

ok so it is clear that people support piracy because it is the "right" thing to do.....

there's nothing right about it people...

piracy is a load of bull crap.

well i did buy cod4 pirated version to test it out.... but i got an ori cd key soon after.

dude the price is screwed up. i totally agree but if a game is awesome support the devs and buy the original copy.... that'd give them more funds to start on the next game
