Piracy in the third world is a different thing and I think much more acceptable morally.
Because in the same way movie tickets are a lot cheaper in third world countries, games should be too, yes? But they aren't because of practical reasons. You see if publishers would sell their games for for $10-$20 in Eastern Europe, people from the West would import them and the balance would be distorted, and the Western consumers would get the games far too cheap relatively speaking. That's the reason why publishers must have a $60 same price policy all over the world (except Eastern European publishers who are selling their games for a lot cheaper prices in Russia and Ukraine as an experiment to fight piracy. This is why S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and The Witcher has sold a million in Eastern Europe). But if they could, they would sell all games much cheaper in the third world.
