Gabe Newell himself said "Piracy is not a pricing issue. It's a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting anti-piracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates." I like to watch hockey, but I've tried using the legit streaming sites. Usually, first I can't find the damn game in their mishmash of content. Then when I find it, 80% of the time it never loads. It just sits there spinning. I can go to a pirate stream and start watching there, while the official one is still spinning. So I close the official one and watch the pirate stream. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Awall@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago Only reason I stopped pirating hockey streams was because I was able to piggy back on my in laws shaw cable account to access sportsnet live. If I didn't have access to that I would 100% pirate because just getting a legit sportsnet live account without a cable subscription doesn't even give me access to my local teams games without also using a VPN. Fuck them and their bullshit blackouts. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago Exactly. permalink fedilink source parent
