If i give you free advertising, a solid store page, and the damn server to host your games with free steam keys for the dev (Amazon doesn’t even fucking do this. Authors need to pay for their damn ebooks at full price for instance) and you go out and sell those fucking keys cheaper and spend my money doing it so i make nothing, what the fuck do you expect to happen?
Uplay featured a $15 USD Rainbow Six Siege Starter Pack, but this version was not available on Steam, making the cheapest option on Valve’s platform much more expensive. It’s claimed Valve insisted Ubisoft swiftly remedy the discrepancy, giving the publisher “until the end of day tomorrow” to change that.
This isn’t about keys and devs abusing the system, but competition and monopoly.

I don’t think you understand what this is about.
