:lol: piracy capital selling pc games well?

am i the only person who thinks thats abit strange??

Piracy is usually noticed in underdeveloped countries. Many Asian states are going though an economic boom right now so people start migrating.

People wanted games but had other priorities. But now that those priorities can be met they can allocate a bigger budget for hobbies (gaming is a pretty expensive hobby after all).

Times change, countries evolve, economy progresses. Why not use some money to have fun?
