No, I said Valve forbids devs from listing games for cheaper on other stores. If other stores are selling STEAM KEYS, they are not listed on other stores and Steam still gets a cut. Do learn to read.
No, they’re listing them on Steam and then 3rd parties are reselling the keys. Devs still can’t list their games on other stores at a lower price. This is the 3rd time I say this, let’s see if you get it this time.
The store offers the downloads on the links you provided, that’s not the point. The point is that if I, as a consumer, want to get a game cheaper than it’s listed in Steam, I have to find a reseller to sell me a key that might not work or even get me banned (see G2A) and has none of the protections that come with buying from an official store. If not for Valve’s anti-consumer policy, I could just go to Epic and buy it cheaper there because they take a smaller cut.
Those are not illegitimate reseller stores. Those keys are from the devs on those stores. I did not share a link to cdkeys or kingwin or g2a. I shared a link to a legitimate list of stores. If I buy from humble my keys are not going to get banned or not work.

They are sold cheaper than on steam…the fuck are you talking about, literally you said they can’t sell them cheaper. And that’s completely false.

GMG key for epic is $17.42 right now…steam is…$19.79
Are you still going to blatantly babble false statements?
This is the 3rd time I say this, let’s see if you get it this time.
Those are 3rd party resellers. How many times can one man miss the same point?
So wait you’re only hang-up is that the store has to offer the download? The fuck…
