Is it a shitty businiss practice? Absolutly. Should valve as the only company allow others to under cut them? No that would be insane. Should it be regulated as illegal businiss practices for everyone - yes absolutly.
Okay, fair enough.
It is basically contractual price fixing. Staggering that the practice is allowed.
