Like the music (and movie) industry, the software industry is also a victim to piracy, and it's not just operating systems and applications, but even games too. We're sure many gamers in Malaysia play pirated games - simply because we can't afford to pay original prices with the exchange rate.
As such, there's a tug-of-war between game makers and pirates, and when both sides see themselves as good and the other as evil, eventually the person in between will get affected, and in this case, the gamer. Sometimes the legit gamer has to bear the brunt of the problem, which might make the honest gamer wonder if it's worth to go original when they have to face these problems.
