Yep, I was only summarizing their angle. Here are the specifics for anyone who wants to read the source documentation: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3
The only thing that doesn't sit right with me is developers stating Steam threatened to delist the game when they expressed wanting to sell elsewhere. I haven't seen any proof except just the statements, but it would be weird for a developer to lie about that stuff. If anyone has any more sources on that, it would be appreciated
Given that said game is also for sale on the Humble Store, I find those statements dubious at best.
