I pirated 95% of my PS1 games, 100% of my PS2 and now 100% of my 360 games. To me it is as simple as if I don´t buy pirated games I won´t buy real ones, so no company is losing real money because of me. Games here are so expensive it is impossible for 95% of the people in my country to buy.

What a classic excuse.  I do agree with stof, that pirating games is not the biggest sin in the world, but I still do not appreciate the people that do.  And if you wouldn't have bought the game in the first place, then plain and simple, you shouldn't have it.

 

I'm against piracy but it is true that in many countries, an original game costs more than a months salary. I have a friend that saved 6 months just to buy a second hand console. And that's really saving like not buying food and squatting at parents not to pay rent. I doubt he'd be able to afford buying games... I mean... I don't think he'd be able to afford buying games... In fact, I know only a couple of shops that sell original games and it's rarely got more people than just me in there at times. Not to mention that for example... MGS4 would cost approximately $99... for example.
