Piracy tends to be a solution to customer service problems. For all the issues with steam, and there are many. For the average customer the service is generally great. Then there’s the fact of their prolific support of open source projects. Some great like KDE, proton, fex and arch. Some questionable like forking waydroid for lepton and not working with the original devs. And pushing open platforms etc with their own products. Then there’s the largely flat corporate structure which also appeals to many on the left. As something to promote for others to emulate. Which yeah if we’re going to have corporations would be better than the extremely vertical financial vehicles of the bourgeoisie. But there are lots of good criticisms of them too. Like enabling gambling via loot boxes etc in CsGo and TF2 etc.
