    That only applies if you’re selling Steam keys in the other store. If you sell access via other means (like direct download), you can price them however you want. Hence, thousands of itch.io games that are cheaper than their Steam versions.

            Well, you made the claim, so 🤷

            Short of evidence for your claim, I’ll roll with the fact that, to my knowledge, there has never been a case of an itch.io game being bullied out of being cheaper than its Steam version.

                Your “evidence” was from a YouTube video that doesn’t cite the source of the emails either, and I trust that as much as anyone should trust a Twitter screenshot. If you had a link to the actual emails that said that, I’d change my mind, but you’re being really weirdly defensive when simply being asked for a better source than an uncited YouTube video.
