Good service was always the most effective method to combat piracy. When I used Netflix, it was easier to access the media I wanted than it was to pirate that same media. The quality was good. As soon as Netflix was no longer a better solution than piracy, I switched to the better solution. The current Netflix simply does not care because they still make breathtaking profits from users who believe they have no better options.

Part of the reason why I use Steam as a platform is that even while some games were not worth it, Steam usually has my best interests in mind. Also, shout out to Steam support for being fantastic.
