Steam has never tried to battle piracy head on, yet it succeeds. Please take note, Netflix, it is your card to lose.

To be fair, only a handful of publishers were able to take their cards and go elsewhere. The media companies were a lot more on top of dragging their products off of Netflix.

Nobody would be on steam just for Valve games, after all, and indie has a much lower barrier of entry.

While they could certainly distribute their current products better, a lot of the issues they have now (see: belated frogs comment) aren't things they really had control over.
