    Only if the game is purchased directly on Steam. A developer can sell Steam keys on their own website and not have Valve take a cut of the price. I think the only rule is that you can’t sell the key cheaper than the price the developer has set on the Steam store.

      It’s just a way to bring in and trap people in their ecosystem. It’s free like Gmail is free, not out of altruism. The bad seriously outweigh the good when it comes to steam, we shouldn’t praise them.
