Comment Comment by sunrunner "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" -- Gabe Newell [1]And I think he was largely correct, although the term _service_ seems like it now has to do a lot of heavy lifting as it now encompasses:- Availability by Company- Availability by Global Region- Stream Quality- Advert Policy (why does the lowest tier need to be ad supported? What am I paying for aside from being upsold?)- Quality and availability of captions, audio description and any other media accessibility options[1] https://www.escapistmagazine.com/valves-gabe-newell-says-pir... parent sunrunner 1 year ago
