Yeah, that is how you make sure that you stay a quasi monopoly and can keep taking that massive middle man cut.
It makes no economic sense for a corporation to play fair and allow competition to rise.

What doesn't make sense is that these companies want to force Valve to be a free advertising and leads service for them, and force them to help funnel their own customers away by using anti-consumer practices (the third party company being the one using anti competitive practices).
