Gigabytes of illegal soft are sold on every other corner, especially in the metro stations - I live in the country's second largest city - Saint-Petersburg.
And the rumours are correct - our pirates did release lots of soft before it was officially published e.g. Winn98 - was on sale in my country even before the "small and unrigid" company had it released. There will be more examples but this is not the point - the point is - how can I proceed with the game when it is full s....?
Thank you all very much in advance my dear fellow gamers!
You are Full of B.S.! I Spent 5 months in Russia in 2003. There ARE Legitimate Retailers Of Games in Russia! I had No trouble Finding one. And,There was Nothing Preventing you From Purchasing a 'Legitimate' Version of this Game From the Multitude of World-Wide Retailers. You Chose to buy a Know Pirated Version. Thats your TFL,Pal! Live with it and Cease Bitching about something that is your own **** Fault! Choke on it!
