Videogames ARE a luxury, if you're talking about current PC/Console state of the art releases. If you're broke, get a PS2 and even legit games can be had for 200-1000Rs a pop. Or get a cheap android and play free games. Or freewares on PC or steam deals or save your Eidy's and get it.
I mean I can't afford a Lamborghini, shouldn't mean it's ok to steal it because I really like it? And no, piracy is not stealing argument doesn't hold. You ARE depriving the developers of their fair share by copying a game. If a 20,000 people play a game in Pakistan, then that's $1million in revenue which the devs could've invested in their next game. (even if they spend that million on a vacation and come back and make a game, it'll positively affect the quality of that game).
Those are the facts. But I used to pirate the crap out of games when I wasn't earning fulltime, because there weren't any catches, you could get away with anything and you didn't compromise on features of the game. But now, I don't bother with Piracy because:
#1 , The hassle of getting pirated games running.
#2 , the compromise on features like online modes.
It's easier for me to shell out $50 than bother with the above nuisances. I'm not sure how I'd have handled lack of MP during my piracy days. We just played Counter Strike then lol.
