) thats why illegal vcds and dvds survive and people dont understand that its because of THEM that the illegal copying industry survives....its not becuz the sellers wanna make money...
R u kidding? nearly every perosn having computer and who is gamer will have pirated game. So ur saying that those have lost their peace(piecenimis said:
) of mind? See most of pirated stuff givs u peace of mind......i say this when i have chatted with most of my frnds over this topic.......see most pirated games does not need to pop in th cd for game play where as Og stuff needs it....Also Og stuff once cd is scratched its gone along with the money we have put in..... so its other way arnd.....mostly everybody will agree this..... . But what i suggested is possible solution along with pricing the stuff reasonably....I guess but until and unless there is some great s/w written to stop burning of cds illagaly, it is impossible to stop piracy as even if the stuff is priced for 150 most will still go for pirated one as one can burn it for 10 cd and free form frnd pc . Reverse engg should be used to remove defects and errors from existing s/w and not break it to be used illegally......same way as hacking and ethical hacking....two sides of same coin...isnt it

i shall not agree iwthu over this. Pizza and burger r counsumable items and can be made in india, so the rate can be decieded by the rates of the stuff used to make it, also it cannot be carried from one country to another(y willone carry eatables?).abhasbajpai said:

well, FYI, even i'm a college student (not to mention a weak mortal too). and i'm putting Rs.10 in my collection everyday from my lunch money, so it cant be that bad can it? plus i dont have a steady source of income coz i'm not employed. i'm buying a copy of the OS, i am not into games and 3d modelling or graphic design. i just use my PC for mundane tasks, like coming to this forum, for word processing, chatting, etc (oh yeah, i do like to read stuff and i'd be devastated without wikipedia, google and the like, or even this forum for that matter). so i dont need to spend Rs.5 lacs on 3ds max or 2 lacs on maya or 60k on photoshop. whats the point of installing software that u wont even use?Siriusblack said:

Hey speedy guy ur comparing wrong things......there many stages in a s/w or game making....lot of efforts go in making a game, s/w......not only that to keep it error free and work according to requirement is main task......there r mainly foru stages....
) is actually which the company planned a year ago and yet seems equal with technology.....this is what the company puts in......hard work , future vision......HAVE U THOU8 if any case the stuff they r working becomes out dated... who is gona pay them......this is what they charge in.....no company will like to go in loss.....do not just think abt micrsoft but smaller companies.......THINK

Well games are ment to be played. When we can spend thousands of Rs for buying our monster cards, some credit should be given to the game developers too. After all whats bad in spending an odd 1500 for example DOOM3

wizrulz said:Why should we not buy Pirated games????????
EVeryone knows its illegal, not ri8 to buy pirated stuff but everyone does it because at end of the day each and every person sees is self profit and not abt the one who made it,isnt it?
Its like in exam everyone knows its not correct to copy, but everyone does to get few more marks........IN END IT BOILS DOWN TO SELF PROGRESS AND PROFIT, WHO CARES WHERE IS THE REST OF WORLD HEADED
In india it mi8 be unique case if the rule regulator of anti piracy is himself raided he mi8 have several pirated copies loaded on office/home computer
like us then i think we wud be saving atleast 75% money .What u all think?
mandar5 said:Ok guys and gals, had enough of discussion lets not blame the company or game developer for the high price of the games.I had heard a lot of UT 2004 from net,friends etc.I vowed to buy the game as soon as possible.but as luck would have it it was unavailable in most of stores like planetm,crossroads,heera panna,etc i had almost abandoned the thought of buying it then a digit member like you all suggested me to try at milestone interactive ,andheri.When i contacted them they told me that they just import n dont sell.they give to distributor in area who takes care of sale and distribution to small shops like planetm,etc.They gave me his address and contact no.Then few days later i went to shop in ghatkopar (bharat stores) which milestone was the supplier.The owner told me UT2004 is not present now but can be brought within 3-4 hr.When i asked the price he told it was 699.I thought he was trying to fool me and sell me pirated copy as milestone said it was available for 999.He said they just import market price is set by distributors.So i got idea if i directly aproach distributor then it vud b even cheaper.When i contaced i was on 7th sky as he told me the price 550 only.I immediately went to thane.When i reached his shop i could not believe my eyes i had never seen in my life cd collection like this.In the 500 sq ft area there was such a vast collection that it would give all planet m branches in mumbai run for their money.When i asked for receipt he wrote rs 520 for game and 29.65 for 4% vat.That means ut 2004 was for just 520 at distributor and 699 -1299 whatever be the price when it reaches retailer.Oh boy thats a gr8 difference.When i reached home even my friends could not believe it nor my parents rom whom i borrowed 1000 bucks.i had seen max payne 2 at the shop and he was willing to sell at 425 which is 75 rs less than planet m price.I started calculating in my mind if he sells for 530 or 550 whatever then at what price he may b buying it from milestone say 400-450 (estimating).Then at what price the milestone wud be importing .This i leave it to u guys to decide.
I think if milestone sells directly to poor honest gamers
Btw i wud be happy to let u know the address and fone no of dealer if u please,
Till then Cheers and have good time,
MANDAR 8)

dun bother puja......game must not be abt piracy
agreed wit u wizrulz
ru sure abt that.....i doubt twud happen even 10 yrs from now....cmon man....this is INDIA...a place to live in and play pirated games...
well my parents r totally against piracy n never allow me to buy so....still i manage to get some copies frm frnds....coz i cant make my parents spend 4-5k for just matter of 3-4 games (og)...this is how it goes...even i'll never look @ copies if games come as cheap as within 400-500 rs.
cheers

seriously ya we shouldnt .. but the fact is that most software companies make software at prices that result in them being highly priced!!
so the cost of production itself is high..
maybe a few companies like EA and microsoft can reduce the cost cause when they do the volumes will increase and thus(hopefully their profits wil be covered)
ya true most games available here are cheaper then what is avaiable say in UK and US..
but the majority of the populace doesnt percieve software piracy as a crime.. i think that si what needs to be changed.. (i`m not saying that they need to do i t now. maybe after 10 years or so
the government should give a clear cut msg to software companies that they should price thier products according to the per capita income of the people(hioopefully this might reduce the prices!!)
