    “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’s service is more valuable.”

        I’ve only pirated one game recently and that’s only because you can’t really get it legally anymore.

        Fuck you Microsoft for killing games for windows live and killing a bunch of PC games in the process.

        I do pirate games that I buy on Steam - just to have a backup copy in case something happens to my account. I want to truly own my media. Nonetheless, this is the only place I have paid for media since we ditched the DVD player)

          Many Steam games are DRM-free, they’re just not advertised that way. Try copying the game files elsewhere and shutting down Steam, for most older games, they’ll still just work.
