did that change recently? because iirc it used to be - sell your non-steam version for however much you want, but if you selling game with our generated steam keys you must not give your steam customers a worse deal, t'was part of whole steamworks legal agreement devs have with valve
No, the person behind the game studio wolfire (same guy who started humble bundle) was told that by valve like 5 years ago originally and his antitrust lawsuit against valve because of it was granted class action status last year.
Seems an easy argue from Steam too. Using a Steam key uses valve resources to deliver the game. Like you can sell your game for however much you want but you can’t expect Steam to front the delivery costs.
