There could be about 100 such shops in Male..."<BR/><BR/>This is a lot of software/game piracy going on in a country that has almost signed all International trade laws. Kinda hypocritical if you try to talk about game ratings and such when the more obvious crime (video/software/game piracy) just runs rampant in the society.<BR/><BR/>It's pathetic to see the Government talking about game ratings and parents checking on what their children are playing when "daylight robbery" happens everyday at these shops?<BR/><BR/>Government of Maldives, try to honor International trade laws and stop this open piracy. This is petty thieving by Maldivian traders. Millions of dollars and creative hours are spent to bring all these games to the market. Like all other products, try to honor the creators and buy ORIGINAL games ... stop this piracy before it is too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-40411324655695071402009-03-14T08:01:00.000-07:002009-03-14T08:01:00.000-07:00To NOSF3R4TU5, actually I also used to play video ...To NOSF3R4TU5, actually I also used to play video games.
