free mmos areant popular because of brand. like i said before people here mostly play games like cs, dota, sc, a.k.a huge franchises.

thing is you dont want to see it. if it wasnt for piracy asians woudnt even know of games such as counter strike and dota. every pirated copy does not mean a lost sale, because people dont have powerful systems, and because of game prices. also considering life is more expensive here then in the west the average kid has less money.

so because piracy doesnt result in a lost sale, it helps pc gaming because of the reasons posted in my above post.

improving a games popularity and keeping pc gaming relevant as well as paving the path for future purchases> pirating a game, without hurting the dev because it would never be a lost sale.

now how does that help the world wide scene? it helped create huge franchises which keep the pc gaming scene relevant in the west. and its paving the path  towards a more emphasis on gaming in places such as china, which will eventually result in sales.

Not only does piracy hurt potential sales, but it hurts competition.

There aren't just free MMOs. There are free shooters, racers, RTS, etc. There are tons of low cost options that could potentially be thriving in Asia even more so. But they to compete with top tier games being easily accessible for like a dollar on the street.

Gaming would still be very relevant in Asia without massive piracy. They would just play other low cost games, allowing for the industry to thrive there. God forbid Asian developer not have not have to compete with illegally distributed western games.

like i said before in asia their is no such thing as a potential sale. and like as i explained before, the help piracy does in asia, outweighs the bad things it does in the west where it could take a potential sale.

people here dont know shit about free games, they dont know they exist, they only play popular games like cs/dota/sc which also happen to be better by miles then those free games. also those games have high skill caps.

gaming is relevant in asia, consoles are actually having software sales here, and thats thanks the ps3, since it just got cracked shops started selling games, decreasing prices, sellind used games, and using the trade in system. other then that i can buy a wii with 15 games for 250$ and so on. and piracy is decreasing in places such as china because of the competivie scene of games such as dota which create a community based on online play, and considering most released pc games dont allow pirates to play online that results in sales. since they can try the whole singleplayer experience for a dollar, and if they like the game they can purchase it so they could play it for years to come.

from what i know their are no asians developers, and the current ones hack a game and build another game from it. i can list a couple of games built in the middle east from other games. two of them are made using command and conquer generals: zero hour.

download garena and go look at the number of people in the asian rooms of dota rpgs(dota), if dota 2 is a good game with good lan features, and anti piracy online system, all of those numbers can result in sales.

edit: their are no such thing as low cost games, when da: awakenings released it cost as much as a full price game. games dont get price cuts here, and some gams have higher price for no reason.(i bought oblivion at 100 bucks). so lets say company x releases a game for 10 bucks, all over asia it would cost the same price as a full retail game(give or take 5 to 20 dollars depending on the store). low cost gaming would not thrive because retailers are theaves and all shops are illegal. and because of taxes hardware would also be very expensive. thats why piracy helps, people can actually play games, and considering the most played games are also the most played ps games(wow,dota,cs) they dont require expensive hardware and people can take the home.
