It's like he said decades ago, or near decades ago. Piracy is a quality of service problem.

When you do the right thing the right way, people will come and you can make a shit load of money. It doesn't even mean he has to have done everything right, but you do enough right non-anti-competitive things like that, and it makes a difference.

Same thing like you said about SteamOS. They didn't have to make it open, and could have made money, but the ecosystem that can be built around an open platform, and the people you can draw to it are going to be miles better than a closed system where thats the mindset from the top.
