News Garry's Mod error catches 2,500 pirates in 15 hours

You really have no idea how some of these people have to live and what they actually get paid do you. I lived in Asia for a year and to see what it truly is like out there you would not be sitting on such a high horse right now.
It is easy to theorise and judge from the comforts of your own home in front of a computer monitor. Take Indonesia for example, people get paid around £1.50 a day and that is not your regular 8 hour working day with all the luxuries, that is more akin to 16 hours of brutal labour.

Your statement here is false, I stated that most people in those countries did not expect anyone to foot the bill for them, there are people out there that do, but there is a huge difference between expectancy to pay and being afforded the opportunity to purchase in the first place.

It is not those people's fault that their economy is nowhere near as strong as ours, maybe we are to blame because of the constant demands on manufacturers for cheaper goods and items. A case of first world countries keeping third world countries, just because we want to pay less.

 

Greetings!

Is the point you are trying to make that a "£1.50 a day" "16 hours working day" person owns a computer, a gaming capable computer, and pirates Garrys Mod to play because he doesnt have the money to buy the game?
Really?

 

It was an example of what some people earn, there is piracy in those countries regardless of whether it is being resold for profit or used personally. There are obviously people that do have computers on a higher wage but not enough to pay for high priced software

lets move over to eastern bloc countries where the wage is around £150 a month, people there have gaming capable computers but doesn't mean they are able to afford the software.

 

How, pray tell, does that work? The only evidence of that so far is you saying that it's so, but logic would have the rest of the world believing otherwise.

This person gets £150 a month. They save up 50 of it each month for several months until finally they can buy that £500 computer they've been wanting. Immediately after purchasing, yes, that person may not having enough money to buy any games, but that doesn't stop them from saving £50 of next month's paycheck to buy some. Anyone with enough extra income to build a gaming computer will easily have the income to buy games.

Either the price of hardware is extremely disproportionate to software in these places you keep referencing or you're just not making sense.
