If I open a store, and I tell people I promise you this is the lowest price in the market. I'm not doing disservice to my customers.
There's a difference between "this is the lowest price on the market" and "I get to decide what is the lowest price on the market"
In this situation, the person who created the product can't enter into an agreement with another platform to sell for less, it's not the best price possible, it's the best price Valve agreed to.
I think I see where our disconnect is coming from. In none of the documentation I've read does Valve have any opinion about what the price is going to be. That is completely up to the publisher.
