Generalno potencijalna loša vijest za third party resellere tipa Humble Bundle ili one sa sivog tržišta.

Valve now mentions a specific number of default release keys — “up to 5,000” — any developer can get at launch to share them with Steam users or distribute their game on other digital stores and platforms;
Dakle svaki dev dobije 5K ključeva pa radi snjima praktički što želi, bilo to poklanjanje ili distribucija na drugim digitalnim dućanima i platformama što na kraju potvrđuje ono što sam pričao o “sivim” stranicama i odakle im barem dio ključeva koji imaju u prodaji.
Valve updated the paragraph about selling games on other stores, adding a new phrase: “It is important that you don’t give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers”; Thus, the company emphasizes its stance on price parity, demanding that developers don’t sell their titles at lower prices than on Steam;
Na drugu ruku, i oni sa pravom traže price parity sa svojim igrama na Steam. Bit će zanimljivo koliko će se toga držati i koliko će zapravo to utjecati na recimo Humble Bundle i ostale legit stranice te koliko će to utjecati na stranice tipa cdkeys.com.
