What if we turn it on it’s other side and say: In the interest of its customers, Valve prohibits publishers from selling for a higher price on Steam than somewhere else.
well, steam probably takes a share of what the player pays (let’s say 10%), so it makes sense if the devs want $15 for it, they offer it on steam for $16.50; meanwhile if they sell it directly on their own store, they don’t have to add that fee.

That would be corporate speak.
Amazon does that. You can’t sell your product cheaper than you do on Amazon.

It’s 30%, btw
