Not again with this… Valve does not require price parity, what happens is that they allow you to generate infinite steam keys, that you can sell outside of Steam, those keys need to have price parity with Steam, so if you’re selling your game on another website and include a steam key there you can’t permanently sell it cheaper than on Steam (you can have temporary sales that go lower than steam, e.g. Humble Bundles).
This is the most permissible policy any of the gaming companies have about selling products on their platform, yet they always get shit for it.
This. Please more upvotes on this comment. The fact that steam let’s you sell steam keys on third part sites with no profit incentive is crazy to me. Honestly valve feels like the only good company around being blamed for all the shit they don’t do
