It is. Just look at how much 5mm is. It sounds small, but for walking its pretty annoying.

I've got it in a bargain for $15, played singleplayer and it wasn't that bad. Didn't play prequel, but this one played pretty good. For $15 I would say it was a fair price. If I were to buy it for more, then I would pass it, just as I did on its launch. Its too bad tho that it ended so quick, wanted more...
Who set up this website anyway? Was it some anonymous? If so, then what nationality? Maybe he defaced it by himself? I mean... who would really register on AnonPlus? You loose your anonymity when you do, it was bullshit site to begin with, just with some simple HTML.
$10 for renting a single video? I think thats the problem. I could buy video for $10-15, but rent for $1-2. Those prices are unreasonable.
And if its the target who is shaping?
I was playing certain MMORPG and at some times it would start to lag like hell. I would then ask on chat if it happens to someone else and turns out that it does for some, for others not. If I would try other game, then it would be fine. Proof for this is existance of services like http://www.lowerping.com/about-lowerping.php with offer you VPN that should actually LOWER your latency. Never really did try that tho.
Yes, they ignored the fact, that Starcraft 2 pirated version is just campaing mode, while the most important one for this game - multiplayer - is only for legal copies.
Fallout doesn't have multiplayer part, so if you pirate, then you get 100% of the game.
But just those that lead only to thief safe house. Sure he could have some legitime business there as a cover up, but so what?
Its not like you have to buy HTC or Apple. Or buy new phone each year. If its just voice and text, then phone from 10 years ago does this job just as good as current ones. Sure you don't have nice threaded view on SMS and touch interface, but battery holds for much longer.
It makes you into example as to how evolution eliminates those that aren't fit. And you are helping it by yourself. Kudos to you.
I also see that there is a lot more people than it was 100 years ago, but there is still plenty of food that is thrown away, just to not over-saturate market; or limits in how much you can produce, fined if you fail to comply. At least here in EU. There are places that don't use any modern technology in crop cultivation, so there is room for improvement too. We don't know what future technology will bring either. Maybe we will go into space and start living in domes on Mars? Or maybe we die... but you can't be sure and if people would just let it go if any doubt would arise, then we would be still using rocks for hunting.
I figure that your retailers match their price to earnings of their customers, so it could be hard to find something as cheap as here. Problem with Steam is that (from what I can tell) they have the same price for everyone in Europe. If new games for PC would be priced at 50-60€ at retail in Poland, then almost no one would buy. There are people here who need to live out of 300€ a month, and families with 3+kids that have "just" 600€ in total. 30€ for a game is already a hefty price + hardware that costs the same as in west EU; if not more.
I would suggest trying amazon UK, recently I bought there Sins of Solar Empire and Gothic4 cheaper than anywhere I could find.
Steam has one of the highest prices I have EVER seen. They drop them not that often, so you can buy some older games for still full price. And well... each new one goes for around 50-60€, while local retailer will sell it for around 15-30€ - boxed! Even if Steam puts something on sale its still often more expensive than my local retailers, tho I must admit sometimes its cheaper or shipping costs and me having to watch for mail makes Steam a bit more convenient. But overall its very expensive, especially in countries where you don't earn 1500-2000€ minimal.
People actually raged in Poland when they heard that Starcraft 2 will be priced at 50€ at retail. That was just unheard of for a PC game, tho it had enough fans to make a sale.
You bought PowerBook just to play music? Wow...
Yes - took a glimpse, not interested in that thing much. Maybe when they open it to everyone.
I don't understand your post. Do you imply he should sell only one copy of his game and then start giving it for free?
Well, AFAIK Wikileaks didn't break any law in EU. Its Visa and MasterCard that could possibly do that - at least in EU that is. If they want to operate in EU, they need to comply. They don't want to? Well, I'm sure some else will take over.
