“We’ve been told our games are too expensive in some countries but we’ve been using Steam’s recommended pricing for a while. We trust Valve enough to not change this. If our games are still too expensive for you, you can pirate them until you have enough to support us.”
I mean I don’t think the pirates needed their permission, but it’s a nice gesture at least. Accepting the reality that people will pirate your games makes for much better PR than trying to crack down on it through DRM.
Why not both? “You can pirate our games… But good luck with all the DRM in them!”
Because DRM usually gets cracked within weeks, if not days?
DRM also costs paying customers performance generally
That’s why no one uses it then! Oh, wait…
