Noticed this update got pushed just now.

Edit: Seems they’re doing this to prevent costs from arbitration. Read comment below.

    Why should they be forced to allow other retailers to sell Steam keys at whatever price they want

    Because those other retailers already paid Steam for those keys.

    If Steam doesn’t want to compete against third party key retailers then the solution is not to sell keys to third party retailers. Once Steam takes their money, they have to accept the competition.

      Which is all that would happen if third parties decide they don’t like the terms that valve and them agreed to.
