I don't get it. People resort to piracy because the paid version sucks. I wanted to watch a movie from 1991 and no streaming service had it, and I pirated. Easy peasy.

Steam makes it difficult to pirate games. Besides making it easy to install and play, there are the external things like reviews, achievements, community to upload used content or talk with others, mods, easy updates, and many steam events like sales.
