    Fortunately thanks to steam allowing free key generation you can buy directly from the publisher and still get all the features of steam except refunds maybe.

      That’s the same as buying from Steam. The publisher pays Steam and then gives the key to the customer. They get the same cut either way.

          That’s great if true. I’m seeing a lot of different information when searching for that though. Older sources say valve doesn’t get a cut, but newer sources are saying that deva can only issue 5000 free keys. Do you have a more recent source with a definitive answer?
