Video game piracy is very much alive and well, with some triple a title exceptions. Not that that is effecting poverty at all. And, anyway, you don't really need new software. You can do fine with ten year old video editors and word 2007 if you just want to get something done.

If I needed to work on Word files, I'd almost certainly use LibreOffice rather than a 2007 vintage copy of Word. Certainly the open source software isn't always as good as the proprietary software but it's often a better choice than doing without or using versions long out of support.

So if you're a child, you can't really buy them as they're too expensive. And I don't even talk about the price of a computer or worse, a game console.
