I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

Kazumara,

That’s a good policy. As long as the right people are still around to enforce it, it’s a little reassuring.

Kazumara,

If there was no DRM we wouldn’t need to trust anyone to undo it.

Or if that emergency release of the DRM was a contractual guarantee we had at point of purchase, we’d also need less trust.
