Cost in Asia

from Sins Forums
The main reason of the piracy of this game in asia is due to the fact that these games r waay to costly..U could easily say that if we could afford a computer..then.." why not a 50$ game "...here we can build computers in 150-200$ with brand new branded hardware.. so 50$ for us seems to be a bit costly...this is propebly the main reason there is piracy going for games here..I personally hate those people. U could get hell of a lott of custumers over here ready to buy ur game.. if there is somthing wrong with the post..plz do delete it..just would like somthing to be done so that guyz like me also could kinda afford to buy this game :SNIFF!:

If it was cheaper there then I'd buy a copy from Asia. So if they make it a $50 dollar game here, but a $10 game there, what's to stop me just buying it there and getting it shipped?

Hence, games have to cost (roughly) the same everywhere.

On the other hand, if you really can make $200 computers, why not just sell them to people in my country who have to pay $1500? You'd make a killing.

Somehow I think you're exagerating both ends of the equation.
