theres a number of other stores, and no one forces you to be on any store anyway. you can put the game on your own website.

this should not be an anti-trust issue. you dont like steam taking 30% cut? dont go to steam then...

The issue isn't even The Steam platform, that i Gather

Valve has a policy that Steam Keys Cannot be sold cheaper on other platforms

However

Developers can still generate and sell their own Keys, on other platforms, At a lower price (Like on GoG, Humble store)

Theres nothint stopping a Dev from using multiple platforms, they just can't distribute Steam specific keys on another storefront cheaper
