Oh, were you not alive when Steam started being a thing and piracy sharply reduced? Turns out people like to buy things from people who make things they like.

- pfisch 4y agoIf there is no IP I can just download your game and sell it on the epic store. In fact, Steam doesn't even need to pay the developers royalties at all.
- ChrisKnott 4y agoI was alive, yes, it sounds like you weren't because Steam was universally hated for the DRM inconvenience it put around HL2.
- burnished 4y agoHahaha no, but I did forget that it affected HL2. It was interesting how the more egregious DRM actually made the product worse, people downloading the cracked version were legitimately just choosing the superior version.
