Enforced or not, the fact that it’s part of the contract is the issue as there’s always the chance that they’ll enforce it.
Comment on Steam owner Valve accused of ripping off 14m UK gamers
RedWeasel@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThat is my understanding. Additionally I have seen no evidence that it is actually enforced either. You could get Ghost of Tsushima for $59.99 on steam and for like $51.xx on another site using keys. Same happened with forbidden west.

The agreement is only between the dev and Valve; 3rd party key sellers usually obtain their keys through trades, buying them from the original seller, or by stealing them (which is an entirely different can of worms).

Doesn’t even have to be sketchy resellers like ones mentioned like g2a. Normal ones like fanatical and humble bundle sell cheaper.
