Rockstar didn't market Max Payne 3 here at all, but not because they weren't allowed or would not be allowed. Console games are almost always pirated here because the price for them is ridiculous. A recent Xbox 360 game like Max Payne 3 costs 170 reais, while a pirated version costs 20 or 15. It's gotten so bad over here that legitimate stores that sell games and consoles sell them cracked and the police don't do anything about it because busting them wouldn't be effective. That means that publishers rarely bother to market them here, but they've started to put in stuff for Brazilian players recently. Copies sent to Brazil for Max Payne 3 have the subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese for example, even the digital ones. And a few games have dubbed versions here like Halo 3, the Assassin's Creed games and even the original Max Payne. That's probably because PC games sell very well over here due to digital distribution and a much smaller tax for PC versions that makes the much cheaper. But sales are hindered by the cost of PCs and their respective parts. I upgraded my PC in 2010, and it cost 2000 bucks. I don't even have a Intel i5 or a DirectX 11 compatible card.
