That doesn’t sound as bad
*steam price the same as external price only if the external sale is for steam keys. And you have some time to offer an equivalent sale on steam.

This is the point everyone tends to gloss over. Glad to see someone has actually read the friggin’ Steam TOS.

The problem is that, allegedly, there are threatening emails from Valve to developers who tried to sell for lower prices on other platforms (NOT Steam keys). If this is true, then there is actual ammunition against Valve.

I’ll point out, when I went to sell my book on Apple Books, they had this in their TOS as well - I wasn’t allowed to sell the same digital book for less somewhere else. It is not a new or unique agreement.

Whataboutism. It shouldn’t be allowed in any TOS.

Anticompetitive behavior is tolerated much more from companies that aren’t the market leader, and Apple Books is far from the market leader.
