Gaming - Who hates piracy? - View Post

Hi,

Well, I live in Chile (SOuth America) and the average income is 6 times less than in the US, and new games cost average 70-80 dollars. So really a game is a lot harder to get than in the US. Thats why there is a lot of piracy here (except for the PS3). The PS3 launched at a 1500 dollars. The PS2 launched at 2000 dollars. THey werent official launches, but thats the price you would get in unofficial stores.

I am not proud of it, buy I have 100+ PS1 copied games, 50+ PS2 games and a few originals, I just cant afford more new games. Its a lot easier to mod your console and buy or download games for a few bucks.

Now that I have a PS3, I have 2 games average (keep trading them) and I enjoy them much more than copied games, yuo just give original games more value, you push harder to finish them and replay them, just because you paid a lot more.

I hate my self for been a pirate for some years.
