I find your logic ... intriguing... but i don't expect you to understand.Growing up here gives another perspective on life, than growing up in a western country for example.
The thing is here people take warez as granted.They actually believe the games are free.I at least know that i'm doing something wrong.If i will get a job that pays well, i will buy games, as maikel said, there's nothing like holding the full package
Ditto.

Besides, believe it or not, computer piracy is one of the means of preserving some great games from slipping out of people's memory.

And in some cases, people have to get w**ez instead of originals...
Say, there was this fella who bout Diablo II in localised version. He could not return it to get his money back and the a**-quality of translation pissed him off so much that he could not bear it to play the game. He began asking in about all stores with PC games he could get to, and everytime the talk was like
-Do you have Diablo II?
-Why, sure we do.
-In English language version?
-What for?
And because of not being an adult, the local law prevents him from having any sort of bank account, so he could not order the game from Blizzard. His parents did not understand the problem either - why does he want to mail-order the game when he can get it from a store? So what was he supposed to do, huh? W**ez ws his only option of obtaining original English version.

And, I know for granted that some supermarkets who sell computers have been found out in here to install pirated versions of OS'es and other programs.
