The big argument here is that, according to them, Steam won’t allow them to sell their game on other stores for less than what they sell it for on Steam. But as far as I can see from the actual agreement with Valve on that, it’s Steam keys that cannot be sold for less than they cost if you buy through Steam. IE, if you sell a game that will be on a Steam library, but somewhere other than Steam, it has to have price parity with Steam. If you want to sell the game on EGS, without it being added to a Steam library, you can price it at whatever you want.
The only example of this not being the case, comes from the developer of Overgrowth; who is a known liar. Their game was delisted from Steam for violating this rule, and I’ve never seen the game being sold anywhere that wasn’t as a Steam key.
