Oldie but goodie:

We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem, - Gabe Newell

I'm pretty sure it can be both. If there's AmazingService that allows streaming everything there is on torrent and then some, but it costs thousands of dollars per month, no one would be able to afford it and it won't have any meaningful impact on piracy.
