This is literally the most common reason for any type of piracy.
To quote the mighty GabeN: "Piracy is a service issue, not a price issue"
what looks cheap to you in the USA certainly isnt at all in the rest of the planet
And there's also kids who don't have credit cards yet too.
Except when publishers don't opt for regional pricing and games cost absurd amount of money because of poor exchange rates
Yeah, but the difference is on the PC it's easy and comfortable to buy games if you have the money for it, so piracy is a choice. On consoles it's often a hassle and the services are shit.
