yeah, downloading because everybody else does, doesn't make it right.
but let's say a game is being sold for a reasonable price, would you guys buy it? I would and I do, whenever I can find good games for a reasonable price on eBay, but hey, I can't afford a game that costs 140$. Yes, 140$ and I'm not exaggerating. That's the standard cost of a PS3 game in my country. PC games cost around 70$. WHY THAT EXPENSIVE? IS THAT FOR THE ELITE ONLY? Why not sell games for the local price and have tens of thousands of customers instead of selling it for a high price to just a few hundreds?
In my country there's a 30% tax fee for multimedia, that includes music, video games, DVDs, importers take some money as well. Come on! In China and Russia there are local factories and licenses. They sell it in local prices. I don't know if it's cheap enough there for average people to buy, but still... how cheap do I want? for example, take USA, the price is 50$ or 60$ for a new game. eBay even sells for less. For Americans, on average, it's like a quarter of a daily salary. so how come in my country we have lower salaries and higher prices at the same time?!
I do buy games, I'd buy from China or Russia if I could, but so far I can't find any places to buy, some places don't offer international shipping, others offer expensive shipping (10-15$) so what do you suggest that ppl like me do, not play any games?
