It's VHS vs. Beta all over again, but worse
&gt; We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate&#x27;s service is more valuable.
Gabe Newell<p>And it&#x27;s true. Pirating games has never been as unattractive as it has been today due to Steam&#x27;s monopoly and ubiquity. TV and Movies on the other hand are getting worse every year, with Netflix focusing on their originals and everybody else doing their own streaming services.
