    What? Since when does Valve prohibit companies from redirecting customers to non-Valve purchasing flows? Because that’s what this ruling is about, it says Apple can’t prohibit apps from telling users to go buy off-platform for lower prices. Valve isn’t doing that with Steam afaik, actually I’m not aware of any other platform that does this

      Valve will even allow developers to create their own Steam keys free of charge and sell them wherever they want with no commission whatsoever

      That’s pretty open I’d say
