    For some people, it’s the convenience with pirating. It’s easier to pirate a movie from a go-to piracy website that you use than to find in which of the 50 different streaming sites the movie is available.

      Gabe Newell agrees with you. He said that piracy is almost always a service problem, not a pricing problem.

        Yup, I remember that interview. It was about pirates providing translations for the pirated games, that weren’t included by their creators.

        Fair pricing is also part of that. Like when Netflix first came out, even with its pretty restricted catalogue, it was a good deal at the time.

      I mean, Apple movies, Steam and Spotify or whatever your storefront of choice is will 95% of the time have what you’re looking for. The only tricky medium to find stuff is TV.
