"yeah i download their games because i fucking hate that company!!!". Then.. Just don't play that game? There's nothing that says you have to play every game ever, so if you don't want to support it, don't play it. You're not sticking it to anyone by downloading it. Ugh.

It won't show that you hate them and their business practices, if that's the case just write a strongly written email and be happy with that.
I've also decided that BumblebeeCody is one of the smartest and most logical people on this forum.

I already said my reasons as to why I pirate, but you need to see the numbers. After really seeing how it's like and what you really get from the government, it's needless to say that I just give up trying to buy anything ever again.


This is an image telling the price difference between the US and Brazilian market regarding the products mentioned.

That also applies to the games, eletronics in general, anyways, basically everything.

That saddens me, it really does. I need to tell you that as much as people say that Brazil has been growing as a country I say that it really doesn't matter when the governement just treats us like pure trash and makes us have one of the most expensive life costs in the world with a really low minimum wage. It's like trying to make a hobo buy their own house. It's like if we're always buying diamonds all the time, except that they're not forever, and neither my patience is.

I wanted to but a WiiU, I really did, but it seems like I won't be able, unless of course if I want it to accumulate dust, becausue it's more than obvious that it's games will have outrageous prices.

I give up. I can't win this. I'll just get depressed for the rest of my life now, or until I move from this shithole called Brazil.

BTW, world cup 2014 and olympics 2016 will be a complete garbage, trust me.

Proud of being brazillian...

That chart is ridicules everything is over twice of what it costs here that's just not right to make someone pay that much for things regardless whether it be essential or not.
