But you can sell for 47 on epic. You just cannot sell for 47 on epic giving a key that redeems on steam.

Exactly; this whole price restriction on Steam is for games that will be hosted and downloaded from Steam.

It makes no sense for Steam to allow developers to sell Steam keys for cheaper via other stores when Steam has to then shoulder all the bandwidth and Remote Play/etc.

As long as you never want your $60 game featured on Steam, you can absolutely do that.

Which do you think is worth more?

Why wouldn't that happen?
