I’m skeptical this wasn’t about selling Steam keys on an external site for less than the price on Steam. Plenty of places sell DRM free versions of games at whatever price they want but steam keys can’t be discounted on external sites. That price parity is only for steam keys though at least per policy.

This dev was trying to sell his own game on his own site. A single player game. No steam keys. Just a download. And got threatened by valve to stop or be removed from steam. Illegal since that’s NOT in the contract he signed.

That’s their claim. They provide no proof.

They’re going to court so I assume there is proof.

Are you familiar with the justice system at all? Many lawsuits are attempts at bullying.
