The steak analogy doesn't work. A steak meal from a restaurant can be anywhere from $4 - $20, depending on the restaurant, and is a perishable novelty that is owned once it's paid for.

A PC game is not a perishable item, and will sell anywhere from -$10 to $60, and there is no true ownership of the product itself, only the license to play it. There is also no option of resale and little to no options for refunds on a PC game. So, buying a PC game is literally a one way transaction most of the time, with very little options for a user who isn't satisfied with his/her initial investment.

Not saying I support piracy, but it's just a poor analogy, given the context...
