ItsaMii said: You can not judge someone by their country bad statistics. Imagine with we made cynical remarks about middle eastern users beating woman or americans being bloody thirst bastards crazy for war (I remember one remark like that in another thread). |
OK so it was claimed that Brazillians generally do not buy games. And then in your next reply you said, you only buy 20% of your games (and rent the others). So whats the misunderstanding? I mean I guess your whole post is "why should we pay for these games" when you, actually, were never planning on "paying for the crappy Ubisoft game" in the first place, aside from paying someone $5 to rent it.

"Despite Brazil’s enormous potential, piracy and high tax rates frighten many who fear they will lose their money. A recent worldwide study by International Data Corp. and the Business Software Alliance showed Brazil is one of the countries where piracy takes its highest toll. According to the study, 61% of all software used in Brazil is pirated, and the annual losses reach an incredible $519 million. That ranks Brazil eleventh worldwide, in terms of losses from piracy. The condition of the video-game sector is even more critical: 9 out of every 10 games sold in Brazil are illegal."
Of course its pretty irrelevant, but still, there you are.
And for the record, I liked Red Steel.
