Perhaps I should wait and see if the pirates have a better solution, given time they probably will. - and then people wonder why there are so many people pirating these days and games get more expensive as a result.
That's not why people pirate games. Main reason is that there's no Regional pricing.
Take for example such countries as Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland etc...., you cannot rly expect for a majority of people having an average monthly salary a 450EUR or less (and that might be as well a whole family budget in most of cases), when the food and other expenses costs fairly the same or even more expensive then for example in UK or Germany (in UK you can wash the floors and drive a Lexus lol) to spend 60 bucks on a game...
I understand when you can spare the money and it is enough for you - but i have to tell that majority of Worlds population cannot afford that kind of prices just because they were born in poor countries.
