    That only applies if you’re selling Steam keys in the other store. If you sell access via other means (like direct download), you can price them however you want. Hence, thousands of itch.io games that are cheaper than their Steam versions.

      No, not true. They specifically mention its not just steam keys in their released emails.

        If you have a link to the actual emails, rather than a YouTube video for it, I’d be very interested in that.

          If you have anything but conjecture I’d be interested in that as well.

            Well, you made the claim, so 🤷

            Short of evidence for your claim, I’ll roll with the fact that, to my knowledge, there has never been a case of an itch.io game being bullied out of being cheaper than its Steam version.

              I made the claim and provided evidence. You have yet to refute it in any meaningful way and have only provided conjecture. If you have proof the email isn’t real feel free to share it. You’re also free to look up the emails yourself if you feel they would prove me wrong.

              Without evidence “your knowledge” means nothing.

                Your “evidence” was from a YouTube video that doesn’t cite the source of the emails either, and I trust that as much as anyone should trust a Twitter screenshot. If you had a link to the actual emails that said that, I’d change my mind, but you’re being really weirdly defensive when simply being asked for a better source than an uncited YouTube video.
