Yeah like we still have steam drm.
romrombhai
its a very different feeling to play games that we bought and the games we pirate
adteeopg
Or just making free to play games and selling the skins like he does
SaltyPhilosopher5454
I disagree. I mean yes, if you really make it better then I’m sure less people would pirate it
But a lot of people (like me as a kid) just don’t want to pay and just pirate it anyway

Awesome quote!!

So anyways we put DRM on all Steam games.
GOG is the true king of DRM-free and anti-piracy measures by having great prices and exceptional support with constant free games.

100% agree with his sentiment, although I can’t help but note that the way he’s phrased this is not particularly the best argument, given that anti-piracy tech and the dodgy, buggy, unstable ways that pirates get around it is part of what makes that ‘service’ worse, and therefore makes 2-click purchases through Steam more attractive

It’s a good quote and I can’t count how many games I have started to play because of „70% off? Ok reviews? I give it a try“ but the reality is a bit more complicated.
Hardliners gonna pirate anyway. I assume this falls into the rule that you always have a small percentage of people, who just don’t give a fuck about essentially anything or even think they are doing the right thing.
Then there are people who can’t afford games (several reasons).

If Nintendo is smart they just own Yuzu now and can start selling old games for it. Just make it their infinite backcompat engine.
Over time sell upgrades to old games.

Surely it comes down to price and knowledge. 🤦♀️

No, the easiest way to combat pirates is to not charge over €50 for a game that has less content than a bowl of unsugared corn flakes

They are doing the same with cheaters in Counter Strike and let me tell you, it’s not working

Steam is one of the main reasons I mostly stopped pirating. I just like having all my Games, Screenshots, Savegames, Achievements in one place.

I still pirate some of the games I’ve bought. I can’t deal with 120938 different launchers, logins, updates for launchers, having to be online 100% of the time, having a ton of background apps working 24/7 and other crap. I buy a game, I want to play a game.
