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.

Steam doesn’t take a cut on keys.

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?
