There is a reason Valve has become one of the most successful and popular video game companies in the world: they listen to their users and build for their needs. Simple as. Gaben himself said that piracy occurs when products and platforms either don't fulfill those needs or do something to piss off their customers. When you just listen to the user and design for them, not do any unnecessary fancy crap but simply cater to their needs, they have no incentive to pirate. They've done so well at this, they've managed to completely dominate the computer game market and most people don't mind at all! Meanwhile, their competitors are constantly screwing up and shooting themselves in the foot because they think they know better than the customer. Humility is the best policy. Fun fact: the UI of the Steam client hasn't changed in over a decade. Why? Because it works. Users were perfectly fine with it so Valve left it the hell alone. They observed and adapted. Simple. As. https://youtu.be/hFJb3CzPso0?si=tYbfZVAM58qZIt1W
