Malfador Games Pirated
I don't know if anyone can do anything about this or whether this is even news, but I'd just like to say that I've been in Malaysia on holiday and I've been able to find pirated Versions of games like SEIV, Starfury and Dominions 2 on retail shelves here.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
I saw SE4 for sale for a buck when I was in East Asia.
They had pictures and a description from some other game on it.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
Everything is available for a buck, in those places. From photoshop, to the latest games, to operating systems. Im actually supprised that smaller games like these are worth peoples times, when they could be cranking off a hundred coppies of a more popular game.
Not really much to be done about it.

That is how those people do things. What they can't buy they steal, then resell.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
I know that when I was in Korea back in 87-88, I could go down to the nearby town and get copies of just about any game they had for the Commodore 64 I had at the time. But they were more than a dollar, IIRC. I think most of the games sold for about $5.

Re: Malfador Games Pirated
Well it was more expensive making copies back in 87-88. Esp. if you buy CDs in bulk, you can make copies of programs for pennies each.

Poeple who have no value for other people and the hard work they put into something. They steal something that is not theirs, copy it, and then make money off of selling it to others. These people are parasites and need to be rooted out and killed like deased vermon.
This is why I am a big advocate of conquring the world. If we ruled the worlds, then people who would dare pirate SE IV or any product of Shranels would simply be made to dissappear. Although some day they might find their remains, rest assured they would never be able to identify them.
Then agian, if this was your only means to feed your family, what can do?
