    So... how can two companies (Valve v. Ubisoft) have exactly opposite experiences in the same industry?

    Gamers don't like DRM and Ubisoft is notorious for raping their products with it, hence why nobody buys Ubi games.

    And besides most Valve products are mainly directed at the multiplayer world, so not having an original copy is not an option.

    I'd like to add..

    Piracy does in fact play a roll when games cost $60+ and they are 5-10 hours long and contain shit (or no) MP. I never buy into those. I'll get my copy another way and enjoy it. Then and only then if the game was any good shall I purchase it when it goes on Steam at the low low price of $5-$10.

    Now, if the game was a new release and it was priced between $20-$30 I'm more likely to impulse buy.
