| Kasz216 said: "American point of view"? So it's a Brazillian point of view. The market is all blackmarket and piracy because the prices are too high. Occasionally with buying a console from the stores at full price then hacking it.
Example article I just found http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/26645/Analysis_Inside_Brazils_Video_Game_Ecosystem.php
Apparently Brazil USED to be a great place to buy games... till the prices went all insane. Now it's just buy the consoles and piracy. How do you stop piracy? By offering software at a price that people want to buy it at. How do you raise piracy, by having unreasonable prices that people aren't going to buy it at. It's that simple. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_201/6059-A-Nation-of-Pirates Intersetingly they have different numbers money wise then the Per Capita GDP... and hilarious alarmism. |
That's still technically an "American" point of view.
