Wanted a game. Was too expensive. said "fuck it" and set sail.
Funny story the other way around: the year is 2002 and I live in Laos. Bootlegs Everything Galore, all movies games music cost $1 or about. I discover a game, and then begins a quest to buy The Real Version because it's a small studio and I really like it all, the storytelling, the modding tools, the community... A quest that would end up in Bangkok looking like the proverbial insane foreigner looking for the most stupid way to spend his money.
I found it eventually, in a shop that didn't look any different among all its brothers in Pantip Plaza. Took me a while lol.
Wanted a game, back then wasn't available in my country unless I travelled 3 hours to a city that had one store that had the game, also was too expensive and no way I would've convinced parents to spend it on game. Shores of high sea are always at your doorstep.
