Buying pirated games has already become parts of Malaysian's life. Out of 10 who play game, how many will buy ori? Unless its big title and games where you think you will replay it many times, then its worth it to buy ori. If you think you are only going to try it out and see whether its good, its not worth it to spend hundreds in ori. Imagine that amount of money can feed you for 1 or 2 weeks.
I myself buy ori but only those title with good review and long replayability. Every now and then, i admit that I do buy pirates just to test the game OR that game is only good to play once (once finish, the urge to play will vanish). To combat this issues, i think distributor or whoever decides the pricing of the game should seriously look at how to price the game in order to reach out to more people.
A singaporean with monthly salary of SGD2000 pay SGD50 for a game. Its not much to him. A malaysian with monthly salary of RM2000 pay MY150 for a game. Its almost 10% of his salary man. So, for that malaysian, will he consider ori? Most likely not.

Example:
(average)Fresh grad engineer in US salary: USD 2500 ~ USD 3000 /month
average game price in US: USD40 ~ USD50
(average)Fresh grad engineer in MY salary: less than RM 2500
average game price in MY: RM100 ~ RM150
I only buy ori when the titles have very high production value + high replayability (so that I can appreciate)i.e. C&C series (including Red Alert 3), The Witcher, Neverwinter Nights, Starcraft, Fallout 3, Company of Heroes, World in conflict, Half life 2 etc.
I will not buy a short, low replayability game like Crysis (bad coding), Transformers the game (u r buying the license actually not the game) etc. for a premium price (RM100+).
For myself, piracy is a good way to try a good title first b4 investing my hard-earned money.
Some of us might not realize how hard to produce/develope a computer/video games that's why they r dedicated so much to piracy.
