    This BS again. "In exchange for selling Steam Keys of your game on the internet (using steam as the vendor for your game), you, the developer agree to sell those steam keys at the cheapest price you offer. Steam doesn’t set the price, takes the same cut from each key sold as almost every other platform including Nintendo, Epic, PS, Xbox, and GOG.

    So I am struggling to understand what is anti-competitve about this.

      That is just blatantly wrong. Steam takes 30%, Epic takes 12% after the first $1M.
