I don't think people realise how generous steam is by allowing Devs to sell steam keys on other platforms and still handle all the distribution and updates and everything for a key they didn't get paid for, and all they ask is you give the same or better deal to customers who purchase direct through steam

Yeah, exactly. Steam gets very little money from me (well, aside from the Deck), but I get all the benefits from their services. Not sure how that's monopolistic...
