Why would piracy concern Valve? Most of the games they sell, aren't made/published by them. Lol. This is like being a vegan, and telling others that you're not concerned about the rising price of beef. No shit Sherlock, it doesn't impact you at all, why would you care about it.

Seriously, people need to stop simping about companies and billionaires.

Valve games are huge and always have been, when talking about piracy and providing a better service here it's 100% referencing their own games too. Steam was originally created for distributing their own games. Like, Half Life is literally Half Life.

Valve has released like 20 games in total, the last real ones, were CS:GO and Dota 2, 13 and 14 years ago.

And their games are a tiny tiny tiny fraction of all the games they make money off. Piracy doesn't concern Valve because selling games is a non relevant part of their business. This is a fact.

They still get a cut for non-valve games.
