10 Reasons Why Indians Love To Pirate Video Games 

Not just Indians but it happens mostly in China, Russia , US too

If it wasn't for piracy I wouldn't have played any games , watched any movies , watch any animes , read any manga. Piracy is important part of life.

bro u made a one thing relatable for me is that lack of online trust thing. normally mine parents would buy me 1-2 games a year but unfortunately when watch dogs legion realease i bought it in ubisoft game store and i havent even got the game till now from the date of realease.i even went to support section but it didnt helped me thats why now mine parents lack in online.

I think we all agree that we Indians pirate something at least once in life whether it's a movie,song or game.

I don't think only Indian gamers pitate the game. Even foreign countries gamers pitate. So in title mentioning "India" specifically is not correct.

All of them are very true but there is some point I like to mention 11. *bad internet connection:* before Jio Fiber or Jio 4G we used to download games in 60-120kbps which can took a week to complete 10-15GB download 12. *large size in gaming:* This is biggest reason why people still use prepack or compression installation on gaming , because new game size is crossing over 100GB where most of people don't have unlimited internet connection I heard some countries provide 1TB for a month so instead downloading 100GB GTA + 10GB update from epic /Steam store you'll ended using Repack version which is around 70% compression than actual game which take some installing the game on your PC but it'll save your internet data 13. *your laptop is become outdated for new games:* where most of new games are require SDD, RTX GPU also latest windows 10/11 which supports Direct X 12 I don't think anyone has laptop which have SDD or RTX GPU because most of gaming have low end pc which is only used for school/college project or office work if they want to do gaming on laptop they have spend expensive money on buying expensive laptop which is one time investment , so they don't want to spend ₹4k-5k for buying games on Steam or epic game stores Lastly 14. *Thanks to epic game store free games on every week:* most of Indian use epic game to add good things on their account because it's totally free you don't have to pay your money also that game is totally legit you can play that game without risk on virus from shady website

Being a doctor, even i have to think about paying 5000 for a game. So can't even imagine ki teenagers ko unke parents itne paise denge. So to promote legal gaming business in India, prices have to be reduced drastically. Just as an example, kuch saal pahle tak maximum log MP3 ya FLAC download karte the for listening & that led to loss of revenue to studios. Buy aaj mobile data is dirt cheap. So everyone just streams it from amazon or tidal or jiosavan etc. So piracy has nearly stopped. Music artists & Studios are getting their money & people are listening to music legally. Aisa hi kuch karna chahiye game developers ko India me. Prices for Indian region should be much lower than their USA counterparts. Like COD-MW2 should have been maximum upto 500 for campaign & 1000 for full multiplayer etc. Other games should be priced around Rs 500-800. Then only more people will pay for it.

All of the reasons are true but I think the Indian mindset, unwilling parents and lack of enforcement of laws are the biggest reasons. In other countries people have to think thrice before pirating something because they can actually go to jail for but but here we don't think for a second before pirating something. Maybe this this will change in the years to come but i think piracy is something that will be very hard to remove from India because it's not just games that are pirated but almost everything

Imagine Top Games at a price of almost 200-400 and AAA Titles at 1000rs, tab jyada tar log game buy karna prefer karenge

not only games indians love to pirate movies and tv shows too

If you are a student you know that your parents will not spend money on games because they think gaming is a distraction. Ask them the same amount of money you had spent on the game for books and they'll not even think twice before handing you the money.

If the game companies try and reduce the prices of their games in a way which keeps in mind the purchasing power of the Indian rupees compared to the us dollar, I think then this problem of piracy will be significantly decreased.

Nowadays with increased no. Of scams i really prefer purchasing a good and cost efficient game or playing a free game from epic store rather than pirating. I was an experienced pirate before but when some of the games which has file size more than 100Gb. It is really a pain when the pirate copy didn't work

60 USD in US is nothing, but 60 USD in India is literal RENT for a month or a month worth of food. Purchasing power is the biggest reason.

Mainly parents don't think that one should spend money on games Most of the people in India have played igi but most never bought it, in my opinion none

I purchase many gamrs now like rdr2, witcher 3, many multiplayer games too, like 9-10 games but still I mostly pirate singleplayer titles😁

Wow ya to out of box video ha . Btw bhot barya thi video👍🏻

The reason I pirate games is because the price is never adjusted to Indian Purchasing power. I mostly buy later on sales, but these days even the "discounted" price is way too steep for Indian market. Barring Call of Duty franchise almost every other games get cracked in a few months. Another reason is also that the computer hardware itself is ridiculously expensive in India. Once you are completely drained building that mid/high end PC, you no longer have the will to pay exorbitant amounts on games too.

Mostly i purchase games on Black Friday sale and Christmas holiday sate

All good points! Agreed!

Best channel in the world

bro this time is very good ❤️ voice quality good

You are right bro I personally pay for cloud gaming apps just a dollar or 2 and enjoy wide library of games with newly released titles also ,not only stadia there are more companies and also support Indian region, I m not doing promotion but I make videos on that cloud gaming apps and share my experience to RU-vid audience. You won't believe,I played And completed RdR2,Gow4,GtaV, Ac Odyssey and more games and only spended 5 dollars for that.also recently released uncharted 4.

I'm watching the video while installing Pirated AC 3 On my potato pc

It's not like we "love" to pirate games. We have to because our parents don't allow us to spend money on games because they think its waste of time. Tbh, i'd love to buy games to support the developers and it's a way to show our gratittude to them.

Often I wait for summer or winter sales for video games. And suppose a certain game is coming in future lets margin 3 to 6 months before release I simply start saving money each month for such expensive games (for example adding 500 to steam wallet each month from my earnings).

nice video bro love from bangladesh

very awsome video

Today I purchased Just cause 3 and 4 Battlefield 5 FIFA 23 Marvel's Spider man remastered From Steam Black friday sales bro!!!

Yes. U are right bro

Thank you for the information on pirated games

Mere pass he YT ka premium 😎 me to game purchase karna prefer krta hu quki update aur dlc ke liye aacha he aur jo ek bar bye kiya to dusare pc me bhi dal sakte he har update pe kon uninstall kr ke fir se install kr re ga

why to take youtube premium just use adblock extension easy and in phone there is a app call youtube vanced block all ads and sponsers

All of the reasons are correct what you mentioned in this video. Moreover since I no longer live in India and staying in Germany for the past 4 years. Here the laws for piracy are much stricter in comparison to India. For example, if you ever try to torrent here your IP address is tracked and you’ll have to pay a fine of around 1000-3000€ equivalent to 2.5 lakhs INR depending on the file size you downloaded illegally. The problem here in India is that laws are made already. However people have already figured out the loophole for it. Moreover I have stopped piracy completely be it buying films or buying games. Another barrier is that games are highly priced in India. But people should wait for sales and discounts. For example, on launch fifa games cost around 5000 but on Black Friday it costs around 2000 only. Moreover game companies never include south Asian countries in their profit margins. Because they know there is a huge piracy in this regions. That’s the reason why some developers like EA stopped making Indian centric games i.e. cricket games. After cricket 07 no more cricket games are developed by EA. Because they faced a lot of losses and had poor sales since there intended target market was Indian subcontinent.

big fan sir

thanks

One more reason according to me Majority of us have low speed or capped internet so we prefer repacks or multiplayer ripped versions for less download size

Even old games are expensive .So, many gamers play pirated old games

Not only pirated games. But moves, tv shows, songs, application and etc. people pirate all of this (including me)

i use Adblocker to avoid ads instead of buying youtube premium

One Biggest reasons u don't tell that many indians has not best hardware pc so if they purchase game and not run or crash then there hard money is wasted also monthly subscription software charges people hate this

Basically AAA companies don't consider to modify the pricing for all the countries to make them comfortable to buy games.

Bro honestly,game purchases mein bhi EMI ka option rakhna chaiye,bcz many can't pay 5-6k on game right away..

Thank you Game Gossip India 🇮🇳

I always buy my games, I am primarily play games on console so i have to buy games plus I also do physical copy collection...

5:21 RU-vid vanced ki Jay..lol🤣🤣

one more reason some old games like gta trilogy classic and others are no longer available officially

I'm done with pirating games due to corrupted files or missing files . I will download the game having huge size and after downloading I will have to face many problems like half missions or files or something else.

4:17 like me 😂

Things can be changed with the help of subscription services like gamepass. If companies can focus on it and add good games then i think piracy can be stopped .

Whole video Explained in one line: we pirate games "Bcause we dont have money"

Congratulations rishav🎉🎉🎉

4:51 akdm sehi mayne yhi kia tha.pahle mortal Kombat 11 crack khela tha kiuki uska online khelna tha to mayne crack khelke test kia kuch din fir mayne game kharid hi lia.

Mai to youtube kee jagah vanced use karta hoo.jaha sponsorship skip karne ka bhi option h 😂

Bro here in balkan we also pirate games

In India family 15k full months income who he buy the in 5k to 6k 😭😭

Pirate sun ne me hi cool lagta hai 🤣🤣😂😂

In a nutshell, if you look at the main reason, it's only prices. :/

We had lack of infrastructure previously, now a days even small town people own several games on steam, thank the fibers

Nice.....

I love to pirate games, but now for the first time in life today or tomorrow I will buy GTA 5 because I want to play online that's why and its only for 953 rs on steam

This used to happen before. Not now.

so my big brother used to pirate games nd growing up ive only pirated stuff but these days i usually pay for the games like spent almost if not more than 30k on games but i still pirate games very few such as some 10yr old ac games like ac 1 or maybe ac2 nd brotherhood cause charging like 4-5k for an old game that im not even gonna play entire way thru does not makes sense to me the other reason i pirate is becuz i would like to try the game out before i purchase one if i like ill buy it thru steam + some downloadable goodies as well

Love from assam ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Not only indian we Pakistani are also very relatable with this videos topic

Me age piracy karke khelta tha but ab sochta hu ke game kharid ke khelu but I can't because 1st game ka price bohot jyada hota hai and 2nd game kharidne ke liye debit ya credit card chahiye. Agar UPI option hota to ekbar to me kharid leta

Love From its ANDY YT ❤️❤️❤️

I am watching ur video on my yt premium

They sell their newly launched games at the price tag of rupees 3000 - 5000. That's a lot in Indian currency standard for a freaking game.

For teen ager parents support is important

5:23 Ad blocker laga lo. Simple 😅😁😁

i used to pirate when i was jobless and had my parents build a gaming PC for me .but now i buy them as i have money after getting a job and less time to play. Moreover this buying habit was fuelled by epic free games. i feel proud to own game titles with my money. i also bought some games even though i already played them using pirated version.

Finally I'm a 24yr old doing job now I earn more than enough money for my expenses and enough on my every month savings even then I can atleast afford one new game per month I'm against piracy since the beginning even before I had the job I don't even own a bike during clg days now I have everything a 2 wheeler, a 60k decent gaming pc and also PS5

I started buying games since 2020. Before that i use to pirate game since 11 years of age.

same in Bangladesh

Sir gaming hardware bhi mehenga padhta hai, laptop, desktop, console etc.

ok next video suggestion : top 10 games very cheapest from steam and that looks good any game

How many Pirate gamers are here🤭

Games are very expensive in india..I got 35k INR per month. and PS5 MRP is around 50k INR with games around 1k to 5k INR

We gamers buy PC worth 100-200K but we don't spent 50$ on games😂😂

Mere pass paid games hai par vo bhi free Bina pirated kyki epic games to weekly deta hai

Imagine : 1) You are from a middle class family and you spent all pocket nd Stipend Money on buying RDR 2, GTA 5, Battlefield, Witcher etc all together 50000/- and you are using GTX card. 2) Your friend is also from middle class family and he Purchased a GPU for 50000 with his pocket and stipend money, and that is RTX card 🥰, he is pirating all the games. Who would be more happy? 🤷🏾

You should make a video on how to make money to buy games so that people start buying gaming PC and not to get games pirated

Cuz of situation & purchasing capacity it doesn’t make any sense for the govt to impose harsh anti-piracy law. Even some Govt office uses Pirated softwares.( a lot has changed although) . Big Games usually are implementing anti-piracy systems & we are already noticing that pirating games are becoming harder day by day. But in software infustry majority of companies like Microsoft, Adobe, IDM, Autodesk don't care about pirated copy. Cuz all they want is userbase & you to be familiar & dependent on their software. For example All Adobe want is a copy of adobe software in every pc. So ovarall piracy situation is not going anywhere soon but gaming industry is rapidly changing in this regard.

everywhere game kab aye gi plz pick my question

Piracy saved my life.I will never buy any game but pirate everything.

Mai bhi single player games m pasie Dena expensive samjh ta hu. Isliye multiplayer game hi purchase karta hu

Phicle month Approx meineh toh 25 games kharide hai ₹3000 mein steam sales mein 🤑

talking about yt premium google also has the yt adblock extentions which are free too 😂😂😂😂

Sabji ke sath daniya good point 😂

I only play cracked version....

I LOVE GAMES BUT FREE AS A MIDDLE CLASS😮‍💨🥺

Once i calculated the money it wouldve cost me if i didn't pirate games (only) , it was something around 20k rs...

India me jo games 5 thousand ki launch hoti hai wohi games Pakistan me 17 thousand me launch hoti hai Pakistan me ps3 hi 28 thousand ka hai aur new ps4 slim 1 lakh 15 hazar ka hai aur ps4 pro 1 lakh 30 ka hai aur ps5 2 lakh ka hai Pakistan is very expensive

I am from Bangladesh🇧🇩 90% of the gamers play pirated games in our country.

I personally download game from site before .but after knowing GeForce now. I purchased game from steam or Epic Game in sale when game price is low under 1000 Rs. I personally purchased Metro Exodus, Assassin's creed Unity, Origin, Odyssey, Valhalla, Cyberpunk, Need for Speed Rivals , Payback , Heat , Life is Strange 2 I played & completed game Titles available on Nvidia GeForce Now . Suggestions for Nxt Video Please make video on Nvidia GeForce Now. So other also know without piracy or powerfull PC you can also enjoy game . 👍

Its not like i cannot spend 1000rs or 2000rs on games the reason is if we are like 15 or 16 years old our parwnts my allow us to spend money on games but they hate online payment beacause parents think its unsafe for them as steam, epic games these all are stranger websites for our parents thats the only reason i am unable to buy games and and even if i do a cash on delivery from flipkart and amazon guess what there are no physical copies for pc games not ps4 games and there very less physical stores for buying video games in india and thats the only reason My mom would buy me a game but but not from an online payment i am 15 years old

PlayStation exclusive games ko to free mein nahin kar sakte hai na jo abhi naye aaye hain game

Nice video
