Why do you personally pirate?

Terra Fuyuyukobecause i live in South East Asia
where pirating is normal
1. games that i usually play are rarely imported here
2. the currency is is kind of low
3. the consoles/handhelds themselves are already kind of overpriced(here)
4. the normal paycheck here is too low(I myself worked 60 hours a week with about 1USD for an hour, part time)
5. don't have a credit card
6. importing games myself = tax = more money
7.^ i've forgotten this

I also forgot that most shops in brazil sell pirated games :D

ab0456Because my parents are the steryotipical asian parents and won't buy games or movies. They also don't let me use my own money to buy them.

HEY thats like my life too! :)

1. Because my parents are arseholes. (We'll buy you a dictionary? kthxbai)
2. Cuz I'm a kool kid.
3. Because the first game system I got was a XBOX 360... so I pirated all the classics...
4. Because the very question of an allowance to my parents brings out a baseball bat and scissors.
