The source makes a claim that selling off platform at a lower price than Steam would get them delisted. You linked the Steam page ($19,50) and the Wolfire.com page ($19,99), so what’s your point?
… You’re making shit up and lying at the same time. Here, lets squash this bullshit argument once and for all. Please somehow make this make sense. It’s not only cheaper… but a choice of WITH or WITHOUT steam drm and the developer is already doing it.
I’m not making shit up though, I’m literally citing the source of the article that this entire comment section is writing about.
Maybe Humble Bundle has a deal with Steam. Maybe Steam doesn’t care about going after a developer for selling a game five cents cheaper on another storefront. I don’t know, and I’m not going around accusing people of wrongdoing on the basis of some kind of conspiracy theory (“something stinks”).
If the lawsuit turns out to be fake, that’s good, and users are safe. If it turns out to be true, then great, they’ll make Steam to change their practices, just like they forced them to allow users to refund their games under certain circumstances.
I’m sure as hell not jumping into a comment section spending my time defending a multi-million dollars corporations that already overpays lawyers to do that.
(Btw I saw the game on Steam as 19,50 and forgot to check the currency; it’s actually euros on my screen and I was comparing it to the 19,95 dollars from Bundle, so yeah, my bad.)

I’m not defending anything. Nothing I’ve said was in defense of Steam. However it was the most basic of fact check for this “Developer” or “source”. Which has shown/proven to already be bullshit. YOU are amplifying that message for some reason without doing the most fundamental of a fact check.
And yes… when I detect bullshit… I’m going to call it out. Bullshit stinks.
IMO the fact that the developer is selling the game five cents cheaper on another storefront doesn’t prove that it’s bullshit. As I said, it could just be that Steam doesn’t care enough to go after them for a five cents difference, or they allowed it on that specific case after the developer sued them in 2021, or maybe who knows, it’s an entirely different reason. Calling it “bullshit” without even knowing the context is way too rushed.
The source makes a claim that selling off platform without DRM would get them delisted from Steam.
I found you a link showing they do exactly that.
So the developer is either lying… or the source is lying… or the article writer is lying.

OFF STEAM with or without steam DRM: $19.95
ON STEAM: $19.99
Edit: I can add more arrows if you’d like.
