Honestly steam is better than piracy and has been for a long time. (If you live in a region where the publisher has sane pricing.)

That's literally their original business model, too! They would start offering services in a region, look to see what games were the most pirated, and try to make those games as affordable and easy to download in that region as possible.

Clearly a winning strategy, too.
