~~My understanding is that you cannot sell steam keys to your game at lower than steam prices (since they can't/don't take their cut from directly selling those keys). If you had a direct download from your website or from itch you'd be fine to sell that cheaper.~~
~~It's been a little while since I've read in detail about this so I'm open to being wrong about it.~~
