QFT

I dont think so. It think its the mentality of people. Dont get me wrong if ori's were priced RM50, i would love it and i think most of everyone here would love it too. But dropping the price to RM50 is like preaching to the converted ie it only makes a difference to us not the ones that have relished in the culture of piracy .

Its like this...why spend so much when you got other alternative much cheaper. SO even if they drop price they will never be able to compete with pirates and pirates being easily available...guess who wins...Look at the movie industry in Malaysia...they dropped the price of Ori's...are people buying more Ori's? Probably to a certain degree...these are probably the people who have been buying Ori's...They are buying more...Did it kill all pirates? Quite the opposite...people who buy pirated continued to do so.

To the guys/gals that said Malaysian earns RM800-RM1600 cant afford Ori's...Do you honestly believe when these people who have been buying pirated stuff all along suddenly buy Ori when they earn RM2,600, 3000, 5000? Seriously, you honestly believe so? They will suddenly change to Ori supporters and goody two shoes when they earn more huh? Don't be ridiculous. Its all about mentality. Malaysians hardly respect each other how to expect them to respect IP?

If i look at what i spent for TF2 and the play hours...thats RM 0.60 per hour...best value ever. Even if I pick something like the time i spent on Crysis i would get RM5.20 per hour. Again good value...

Not everything is about the off the shelf price. Its about value. Want good value? Make good purchasing decisions.

If price was a factor then no one would be buying hand phones. People find buying a sub 1000 dollar hand phone good value but a 100 bucks game expensive?

Well pleasure is a subjective matter ...so if one person thinks its bad value...another will think it is very good value. I'm just calculating how long i played the game for the money i payed for it. I'm not making an estimation of fun per hour because that can be argued as of diminishing value etc. So i'll keep it simple and calculate like this instead.

Like for instance if you take what some dotards say..."DoTa is better than sex" then you have to agree with me that for them DoTA is extremely good value and fun.

Well to me HP is not "MAIN" and it is not good value to me to spend 1000 bucks on that. But because i find it not good value doesn't give me the right to get a pirated version or steal it simply because it is terrible value for money. No i dont buy it.

Entertainment is not cheap. Like the previous poster said...hiring an escort girl/or pros can be more expensive...worth or not?
