They are not cheap. Infact they cost exactly five times of what they should cost :( . Suppose average pocket money is Rs400/-. Now one will have to save for ever to buy an original game. No wonder piracy is so high in our country. Why don't the publishers understand this? They would earn much more if they price them right.

I think wasting about 900 rupees is surely dumb thing ... You only enjoy it for max. of 3-4 weeks... (if u r really excited about it)

Yes they are costly

Who knows where the money of all the pirated game CD's goes. What if thugs and terrorists use this money to buy weopens so they can kill people? Would you all be OK with that? Its just a thought i had. I too bought a couple of pirated cd's a few months back. But i guess these people dont leave us with much of a choice. Freeware games are really boring.

you have a point there bacillus, but according to you

If we buy pirated games

We fund terrorists!!

If we buy original games

we rob others on permission!! i.e. We become beggars.

Choose, Ladies and Gentlemen and also those in between
