Its still a pricing problem. I recently wanted to watch the original Star Wars movies and noticed none of them are available for rent. I could only buy them for $20 each. That's a motivator for piracy.
I think piracy is definitely about price as much as access. I think when Gabe speaks, he speaks for Valve and defends its monetization strategies. Of course he's selling you the idea of access, he wants you to put your stuff on Steam, where he gets a 30% cut. Price still matters.
- Finnucane 10y agoYou can't buy the original Star Wars movies for any price. They can only be had by torrent. It's one thing when the rightsholder wants money and you don't want to pay, but when you would gladly pay and they withhold the content, it makes no sense.
