    Yeah I hope Valve loses this in favor of developers and consumers. If another platform asks for a smaller share devs should be allowed to set a lower price.

      If valve loses this, they will clamp down on their features.

      Because why would they provide infrastructure for free when the developer sells keys for less somewhere else?

      If you expect them to provide storefront, infrastructure and community integration for free, I don’t think they will.
