Opinion de VALVe sobre la Pirateria

Gabe Newell

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "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."

"Basicamente lo que el dice es que si el servicio es mas facil con los piratas que comprar el juego original, las personas van a preferir eso, lo mas facil. Al final del dia el mal servicio tiene la culpa." - NetFORCE Games
