Now imagine you having been payed 150$ at the end of the month going off and buying a 50$ game .. What about food ? What about paying the bills ? No ill better be honest and buy a game and not eat for a month so i can play it .. i mean this just doesent work.

Like that guy from India said about games costing 50$ in India is the equivalent 1500$ in the US that just isnt rite .. i wonder if any of you would pay 1500$ for a game or just download it for free.

Most of the pirating is done is countries that have a lower standard than that of the USA or EU and only for the simple reason that the ratio of a pay check of an average guy and the price of the game has not been considered.

You cant charge 50$ for a game in USA and charge the same for the game in India coz im guesing you would then have to work for 3 months without spending a cent just to buy a game ..

My main reason is price . If a game costs 5$ id buy it, hell its faster then downloading 8GBs, but giving away half my pay check on a game is just insane.
Still doesn't justify it. If you cant afford something then you go without. I earn £2200 a month, so i can't afford an Aston Martin DB9, doesn't mean i'm entitled to go out and steal one
