What's Gabe's lesson?

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,”

“If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

And I haven't pirated a game in I don't even know how long now because of Steam.

TV show? Last week.

I've only pirated one game recently and that's only because you can't really get it legally anymore.

Fuck you Microsoft for killing games for windows live and killing a bunch of PC games in the process.
