"We've been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we've been using Steam's recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us."

When I buy a game, I’m thinking of buying the experience, not the underlying mechanisms.

you don’t have the info and machinery you’d need to make your own identical bicycle.

When you pirate the game you are making an identical copy of the game
