Why doesn’t he just put the game up for free as an option then?
I don’t think Steam supports any sort of sliding scale system and they have a price parity rule which would be broken by offering it elsewhere
You can offer the game elsewhere for less / free, you just can’t sell steam keys for less than you sell them on steam.
Piracy is illegal, so a lot of people will still abstain from downloading the game for free.
If you provide it for free on official distribution channels, your revenue drops drastically.
Is it illegal if the creator is saying they’re ok with you getting it for free?
Yes, it’s still illegal.
As it’s illegal to dumpster dive food even though you have permission from the supermarket owner.
