Here is some basic information.
The breakdown for age gaps is this.
12 below.
18 below.
25 below
35 below
above 35
Now, the highest amount of purchasers are those between the ages of 18 to 30. Reason? School leavers, working adults, mostly single and male. The MMO market survey for WoW already indicates that this is true. If that idiot who walked in and asked where the TS got his info from please inform him that if he didn't know about this piece of basic information, HE IS NOT A GAMER. I had the oppurtunity and the chance to look at information in my line of work and effectively this is the market age MOST companies aim their games at.
And i would report him to the admins. He effectively stated that he supports piracy and that there is nothing wrong with buying pirated software which is against the rules of the forum.
The average income of people between the ages of 18 to 28 vary widely dependant on blue and white collar jobs. RM800 to RM1600 is a very excellent figure when based on the fact that starting jobs should pay you at least RM1500 to RM3200 for white collar. 50% of your pay is actually very decent considering that people leave home later and later in life. If you don't know this information please go read it up concerning malaysian household habits.
Sadly, these days the majority of purchasers of pirated products are blue collars whose income is not as high or who still believe in the tidak apa attitude, hence the sentencem "ANY WRONG if we purchase pirated software."
Cheers people
