My understanding is that you cannot sell steam keys to your game at lower than steam prices (since they can’t/don’t take their cut from directly selling those keys). If you had a direct download from your website or from itch you’d be fine to sell that cheaper.
It’s been a little while since I’ve read in detail about this so I’m open to being wrong about it.

What are you basing this on? Looking it up, e.g. here: https://www.create.ac.uk/blog/2025/07/01/parity-and-power-steams-antitrust-reckoning-in-wolfire-v-valve/ it looks like what the other user described in addition to some other underhand bullshit informally policing even discounts.
Just vague recollection of what I thought I had read. I guess I didn’t couch the statement enough
