Correct me if I’m wrong, but this article (and case?) has nothing to do with keys.
It’s just about steam saying: If you want to sell on other platforms, even if the other platforms don’t use any of valve services, they need to have the same price as on steam. Which would be clear monopolistic behaviour imo. (-> does rainbow six siege on ubisoft connect use any valve servers/services? You don’t get a steam key on ubisoft connect afaik)
For those who downvote: please explain where I am wrong. Thank you.
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.
This is not about other sites selling steam keys. This is about other stores fronts entirely.
Steam it’s abusing it’s monopoly like position to keep prices artificially high across the board. Stop licking their boots.
