the deal the publishers make with valve is that steam versions of games need to be priced the same everywhere. if they’re not offering steam keys they’re free to set any price.
also, if a publisher “wanted” to sell it for a lower price all they needed to do was lower the price everywhere. that’s not what’s happening.

It’s insane how many people are spreading this bullshit. This is explicitly for stores not using Steam keys! You’re right that they should be free to set their own prices. If you actually believe this, you need to be against Valve in this, assuming it proves to be true (which there is solid evidence already it is true).
