Often, piracy genuinely gives you a superior experience to the regular paid method. Lots of big service providers have been fucking us over in the past few years as well. So it's no surprise.

Glory to the piracy community!

    That is, according to Gaben, the main driver of piracy is the fact pirates provide better service.

    Really is true. That's why steam and GoG are so popular. AAA publishers are really pushing it though. But there's enough other games to play.

    Yup. Listening to Gabe's talk is refreshing. In another video, Mike Morasky before going to work with Valve asked Gabe about some things related to work... and Gabe told him: "we do the best work we can to make people happy, the money will work itself out". Such a refreshing view of running business.
