Rep Power: 3 | nowadays i see a lot of PC games(a company name) in the market and that too which we can afford.Today me and my friend went to crossword and bought a PC game for Rs.99(e-value).Now thats affordable now in india unlike 1000's of rs. games,these seem good option.Graphics are not bad.But yes,EA sports,microsoft and other games standard cannot be matched and they are costly also. |

Rep Power: 2 | The main reason that we get these games for 1000' of INR is because they fix price as per according to united states and which is the reason it becomes costly in india. |

Rep Power: 2 | Buying games worth 1000's of rupees does not makes any sense for a single person and that is why me and two of my friends pool and then purchase any games we like to have. |

| Platinum Member | Games are a serious business in US, Japan, Europe, etc. In India, we view it with a sort of disdain - something meant for kids and teenagers. I happened to be at EA for over three years and here are some of the facts why games are so costly: a) The average life of a game is 3 months to a year (at most) - so companies need to book profits while the title is hot b) Gaming design/development requires very high investment c) Designers/developers are paid very high because talented people are difficult to find and IP needs protection d) Marketing costs eat into a lot of profit e) Many of the game families/titles are made by small companies and EA, Activision, etc. are just publishers - hence there is a publisher's margin added f) Companies need to evolve updates, bug fixes, new versions constantly g) And finally, there is a lot of piracy especially in the Chinese market. In my opinion, this does not justify the real high prices. I am quite sure that by dropping $10 off the retail, companies will make the same profit by means of increased sales.

Rep Power: 2 | Well i think this price is the main reason because of which priacy is on a rise in asian countries. These game prices is good for western countires but i dont think that it is good for asian countries. |

Rep Power: 2 | I think that Piracy is matter of price. Like if all these games and other things are available for cheap price then i dont think that people would like to go with pirated things. |

I certainly agree that games are overpriced and price should be brought down to encourage more sales. But how cheap should be "cheap"? I have seen people prefer to use hacked copies of shareware programs that are priced as low as $20 to $25. Why will anyone pay if some bootlegged copy is available free or almost free? I have seen people buying bootlegged copies of VCDs/DVDs on the streets. The quality is absolute crap. A family of four will spend nearly Rs. 1000/- on a visit to multiplex but will not buy the official DVD for Rs. 350/- or VCD for Rs. 150/- (prices for Hindi movies). No, they will get it off the streets for Rs. 40/-. I do not buy any pirated material as a matter of principle. I also have freeware. | |

Rep Power: 2 | Yes, Xibit you have dotted this one. The prices of these present games are not any where cheap and second things i think this is the main reason people are going for the pirated games which are causing a big loss to entertainment and gaming industry. |

Rep Power: 2 | I would say that piracy would keep on continuing till there are very cheap games and i think that these big companies like EA and others should make games in Asian countires where cost of making these are very less. |

Rep Power: 2 | Well i dont think that there is any high cost of making a CD in European countires but the main thing for this high price is that companies make money from it.. |
