Gaben himself in interviews says all data points towards the best way to combat piracy is by providing a good service/convenience. The biggest reason for piracy isn’t money, surprisingly.
Personally I stopped sailing when streaming services just started. They were reasonably priced, they weren’t fragmented, and I could hop to another one for a month and catch up on their exclusives. Then they started becoming bastards in every single aspect of convenience and cost so back to sailing.

And yet people still pirate Steam games all day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ie: “I justify theft to myself because they charge more than I personally think they’re worth.”
I didn’t say it was the ONLY reason people pirate…
Compared to even 10 years ago, game piracy is almost nonexistent. Steam is the reason.
Based on what?
