Ok , this blog is a reply to my buddy Azeron who thinks games , songs and movies are too costly being at 1000 bucks and more ..
Well listen here dude ... and all you other dudes who think this is right as well ...
I'll start off with an example .There is a game called God Of War III due to release on the playstation 3 on March next year .This game ,with no doubt ,i can tell will cost around 3000 bucks .This i am completly willing to pay for i know what they had to go through to make the game what is was in the E3 . Apparently they started building the engine for the game from scratch right after God Of War 1 came out ... Thats like almost 4 freaking years !! And thats only the engine ! And ive seen tons of these sorta things and listen here my friend .. pay them what they deserve so that they can make better games next time ..
And as for movies i don't know much but i sure say that all that graphics and all those cars which they blow up dont come easy ....
Heres another angle at the point .
If an organisation is creating say a game or movie ... And lets just assume that it costs hell a lot of cash . Lets say about 3 crores . And say that organisation imposes a price of 1000 on their product and expects a good response from its consumers .
This is where the whole problem begins .. If there are about 20 people willing to buy the game ,the company's income should actually be 20,000 .But say just two people buy it and make 10 pirated copies each .Then the 20 people who actually wanted to buy the game , naturally , will opt for the cheaper (illegal may i add) version which may be priced around 100 bucks .
In this case the organisation's profit , all the way from 20,000 , is reduced to 2000 .
And they will be history if this countinues ...
Sad is it not ?

Nice post and all, but me being true pirate and all, I do NOT1 agree with your Point of View. The industry is a money guzzler and don't say that it's because we started pirating that it became that bad, that's just BS. It's because everything was so expensive that Piracy was created. What about the underprivileged man who can't afford much but still wants to see the new Rajni padam? Doesn't he have the right to see it too? You have infallible logic, of course we should pay for something that's worth it. But what if we weren't going to try it unless it was cheap in the first place? We would never buy it because from the beginning, it is expansive. Please remember that not all would be ready to pay for anything above 500 bucks to something that most mothers would be against in the first place. And no matter how much piracy there is, you don't see any gaming companies/music labels/ movie production companies going into losses even during recession. It's a fact, they make enough profits as it is.
