Let me conclude
why ppl go for pirated:
1) ori too exp
2) ori quality same as pirated, why pay more?
3) pirated are more easy to get as ori, sometimes can't even get ori ver.
4) pirated are "free", why we pay? especially ppl subscribe Strea**x
5) intellectual property is free, some ppl really think in this way!
6) buy pirated for testing purpose...

why ppl go for ori:
1) i love the thing, so i pay
2) ppl made an effort to build the thing, we need to pay
3) ori make me feel good in terms of quality
4) ori price consider "acceptable" for me, so i go for it
5) ori version got freebie, and it worth, so i pay!
6) can't find the pirated one, so i go for ori

welcome to add in more... tongue.gif

HP got pirated version?  rclxub.gif

Well, I've got a question, why you keep mention 1k bucks? Buying RM 100 ~ 900  is not restricted ok?
And in woshikurt's why ppl go for ori conclusion, I found just 1 that is acceptable.

2) ppl made an effort to build the thing, we need to pay

1) i love the thing, so i pay < -- its ur fault
3) ori make me feel good in terms of quality <--- its ur fault too
4) ori price consider "acceptable" for me, so i go for it  <--- consider acceptable for you doesnt mean everyone
5) ori version got freebie, and it worth, so i pay! <-- not everyone will buy ori version coz it got freebie
6) can't find the pirated one, so i go for ori <-- thats the matter of urs.

Other these are almost consider as crap

why ppl go for pirated:
1) ori too exp                                                                                            <-- yep, its true
2) ori quality same as pirated, why  pay more? <-- yeah, wads the diff is just original much valuable than pirated, if u're looking for valueable, GTFO, tats ur matter.
3) pirated are more easy to get as ori, sometimes can't even get ori ver.        <-- tats ur living area got prob
4) pirated are "free", why we pay? especially ppl subscribe Strea**x          <-- i dun get wad u mean by free,why we pay
5) intellectual property is free, some ppl really think in this way!              <-- same as 4)
6) buy pirated for testing purpose...                                      <-- yeah, no ppl will buy ori version for just testing n spend rm100 ++ *except for noobs*

3) is unacceptable, its ur matter, not everyone's living area the same.

What i mean is....those are common reasons ppl go for ori/pirated.... rclxub.gif

Game companies can prevent piracy like setting up DRM and online activation. New games like C&C:Red Alert 3 are already using these methods to stop piracy. You don't see any pirate Red Alert 3 around, do you? Gaming is not a need. If you have no money to buy, then you don't deserve to buy games.

no matter how strong the DRM, those cracking team still got the way to crack/bypass it...
the world biggest software company--> microsoft still failing to fight against pirated issue...
in china, microsoft release their cheap version of office, rm50+-, but limit to install on 1 PC...
but, still got 95% of chinese go for pirated office...
it's ppl's problem, not the software...
ppl sell rm100, we want it rm50
ppl sell rm50, we wait it rm25
ppl think it's free, why pay...? sweat.gif

Here something i wanna bring up..

What the point promoting us to buy Oris.. while the malaysia internet is so crappy for online gaming..
*
one simple question:
given the high speed internet, would you go for Oris?
at that time, we only think of where to download the games, and Seagate/WD will be happy.... blush.gif

Online game is another method to prevent pirated as it will constantly generate income compare with standalone game...
eg WoW generates tons of money
