I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

  • Even Steam themselves say it sucks for preventing piracy:

    The Steam DRM wrapper by itself is not an anti-piracy solution. The Steam DRM wrapper protects against extremely casual piracy (i.e. copying all game files to another computer) and has some obfuscation, but it is easily removed by a motivated attacker.

    Plus, it's optional for devs.

  • I pirated Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) and played it from start to finish on my Steam Deck because it was impossible to buy. I would've paid $20 for that old ass game if it was available for sale, but it was literally impossible.

    The problem is that these giant publishers are led by MBAs, and as someone who went to business school, I know first hand how stupid those people are.
