    I didn’t pay full price for it and I’m being punished for it. The pirated copy I downloaded had a virus on it :(

    The game is brilliant though! Shoving people into pits is the best class hands down.

      Honestly if it’s not worth paying for it’s probably not worth playing. Your time is more valuable than that.

        I get what you mean but not everyone can afford $60 games. In some parts of the world that’s more than half a month’s salary.

          In those places, the games are differently priced. Regional pricing is on Steam, epic, and a few other stores. Also, I only buy games, I don’t pirate and I rarely buy games for 60 dollars. I typically just wait a bit and pick them up for 30 or less. That said I understand, pirating is easier and for AAA games it might truly not matter if you do or not. Indie games are certainly a different story and each purchase, even extremely discounted, gives the developer that little bit more which can mean a lot.

            I live in one of those places and we don’t have regional pricing. When Steam starts offering competitive pricing in Africa I’ll start buying games at full price but for the moment I’ll stick to buying games on sale and piracy.

                  Ah, okay. Yeah, looking at Steam’s pricing it doesn’t give me the option to regionally price for shillings of any kind. The most I can regionally price is the South African Rand. Do prices on Steam then just show in USD for you or do they actually sell stuff in shillings?
