"Game piracy and video piracy is still high. That's because these industries hasn't evolved with the internet like music has. Games are doing fine, thanks to Steam, but there are cases like Battlefield 1 for example. If you would want everything in that game, you'd have to pay $140 + $20 / month (Game + DLCs + Premium). How about I just pay $20-30/month for Steam and I can play all games in their library and the money gets split between games depending on how much I play them?"

They can charge that because people will pay it. If you're not willing to pay it, that's fine, but that means you don't get everything. Which is just like everything else in life.

I'm sorry, but you're just not entitled to games. If you don't like the pricing, that's fair, but don't pretend that gives you some kind of license to just take it anyway.
