The producers of the games aren't guilty. There's no doubt that they need to be rewarded for the work they've made, but that's not possible in some country's.

/my english not so good, excuse me ;)
Your mentalilty is totally wrong. If you make 2000 bucks a month, you still can't buy a Ferrari. Will you steal one then, and think it's fair? Ferrari is also not guilty if people can't buy their products. The same applies to any other product, in any scale.

I don't understand how you can complain about the price of a game if you've already purchased a relatively expensive computer and an expensive internet connection.

Maybe people are getting those things for free, too. I suppose you could scavenge for parts and illegally tap into an internet connection. Hell, you could just steal a computer. If that's what you're doing, you might as well go the whole nine yards and steal the game, too.

Define "your country". 60 ienes, for example, is nothing.

I haven't upgraded my computer for 4 years, my internet monthly is 15 $, and yes - I made my pleasure to buy the game. I'm not talking for myself, I'm talking about the whole f*cking country, that not everyone, even a few, can afford buying games every month.

It's no Valve's fault you let Chavez run your country. (not you specifically, but the majority of people in Venezuela)

I think CS 1.6 is so old it should be available for $1 max to cover the server and occasional update costs. And Ricochet.

BTW I do not work for Valve software.
