In my country (Greece) Net cafes rule...
They provide online & single player gaming, internet browsing, p2p downloading, pretty much everything.
With above average netcafe PCs costing on retail 1500-2000 euros delivering quite good performance, and loaded with 40-50 latest games that cost another 1000 euros (to the lefitimate customer) if one adds to all above the ISP cost being 50 euros a month for 384kbps for a personal use and the net cafe providing on average 1mbps (sometimes even 10mbps) FOR the price of 1.5 euros per hour on average one can see the huge blow that the hardware and game software industry recieves.
Who would pay 4200 euros for 2 years of gaming and internet access while for the same money one can get 3000 HOURS!!! Of the same experience.
Most of the net cafes have their games with no-cd cracks for convinience for the customer AND because they have 1 (or none) original copy for the entire net cafe as far as SINGLE PLAYER games are concerned, the multiplayer games (Warcraft III, WoW etc) have all legitimate original copies but still operate with nocd cracks.
The ease and convinence that the net cafes provide is combined with the logical unwillingness of parents to buy computers to their kids because of gaming addiction, so all of them just flock to the net cafes and ditch their money there.
With net cafes one doesnt have to worry about vira, upgrading (since they buy cheaper the parts and upgrade higher providing a performance that private person cant), connection speed, installation.
Living my 3rd year in the UK I havent seen a SINGLE gaming net cafe, that makes me wonder are they legal?
Is the exploitation and commercial use of software and hardware lawfull?
Because its part of life in Greece.
