That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Unless you can point us to that term, is it worth considering that you may be in the wrong here?

I've been searching for someone who can give me more than "yeah, but I saw someone say it online" for a while now... I've read the public facing docs and have found nothing that says you can't sell your game cheaper - though there is something that says you can't sell your free generated Steam keys cheaper without an equivalent deal on Steam ([here] (https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3)).

It is important that you don't give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam key purchasers.

It's not even that strongly worded.

Even if there was a super secret policy, how do you think it is communicated to developers so they know not to do it?
