What's worse that piracy isnt only the fact that developers dont get any money. But others people profit over it. Usually shaddy people that are involved in other nasty businesses (the suppliers of course not the shopkeepers). You buy pirated games, you kinda help fund them IMO. Giving money to bad people.

If you definitely have no choice and have to go non-original. Do yourself a favour and download and burn it yourself. And if you do like it, make a point to buy the game when you find it despite finishing it already.

Well imo, if you can afford it better not make it a hobby. Ethically is wrong in a sense, its like you cant afford that pair of expensive shoes, so it makes it justifiable that since everyone else can afford it, stealing it is ok.

I'm not at the high range of income id say, and they're a lot of games i want to play, but I cant afford that, so I buy the ones I really want and go old school and borrow from friends. Or I could buy 2nd hand. They're a few alternatives.

I know its kinda tough to game original in malaysia, esp on your wallet. But there is little to justify piracy.

This thread has turned on an interesting turn.

And I'm pretty good with the ladies too trogdor1oh1.

Exactly!
And so the beautiful cycle goes on....

I would never make this mistake when making a purchase. Forums are here, Review sites too. But If I really did get a horrible game like that. I'd probably share the suckiness and gave it out as a present of something. haha...
