I am from a third world country and i used to pirate games, Now i have more than 1300 games on steam and enjoy exclusives on both the consoles..
Piracy made me a gamer and now i am returning the favor by spending money on games, what i am trying to say is without piracy i wouldn't have been a gamer in the first place because i simply couldn't afford it at that time
Not just south africa.. it affects India, russia and turkey as well..I am from india and the price was changed to 4000Rs (65 USD) from 3000Rs (49 USD)
First of all the console costs 40000 Rs (650 USD)..the games cost around 4000 Rs(65 USD) and now the change in price for PS plus where earning 30000 (500 USD) per month is considered as great..
Way to kill the genuine gamers.... I can see the same guys crying over the piracy in third world countries down the li...
They prefer neither...PC all the way..
I am an Indian and have been eagerly waiting for PS4 release here, but at the price point of 39990 (around 650$)no one in their right mind will go for it (Unless they are filthy rich)
I don't think Xbox one will be priced lower..
So next gen consoles can wait for an year or two until there is a price cut
We can actually build an above average PC with 650 dollars, with all the steam sales, indie bundles etc..its way che...
They should do something like orange box.. Half life 3, team fortress 3,portal 3 and left 4 dead 3...the whole internet will explode...
a man can dream right :P
1.Release the base game on console first
2.Release GTA online
3.Wait for the press to say "GTA ONLINE IS AWESOME,MUST PLAY etc"
4.Let the potential pirates feel that they have to play "GTA Online"
4.Release the full game on PC
5.PROFIT!!!
Kane and lynch: dog days is not a bad game, but the good parts come later in the game, considering most people do not complete the game, i think most of them haven't played till the good parts.
Thats my only problem with steam....Mass effect 2 in retail sold for 999(that is around 20$) when it was released in india. but on steam it was around 22$ now after the discount...it was ridiculous.
I bought BF BC2 too.. But it was 10$ in my region, i spent like 100$ on these steam deals and i belong to india (Third world countries which heavily pirate... -_-)
Bought this few days ago..and gifted another two bundles for my friends...and i am so happy to receive the bundle 1 for free...loving it...
Not now...
What i meant to say is that it costs around 15 dollars now..

I am from india, I used to pirate games before when they used to cost around 50 dollars each (i.e 2500 rs), the problem is the people from india could not get good pings, so it is difficult to play multi player games and that means we cant even use 60% of the features provided by the game, recently some companies (xpress interactive) are providing these games (PC games)for reasonable prices (700 to 1000 rs) and now i started buying them, the same thing must happen to xbox360 and ps3 games so ...
I game mostly on PC and i am glad QB is coming to PC even though i own Xbox One, but i hate to see these kind of comments.
