Actually, it's not against the Steam EULA for me to sell Steam keys outside their platform. (As long as it's me selling directly from my website). There even used to be 3rd party services that provided a way for you to sell your own steam keys on your own website without STEAM getting a cut. Last I checked, that was still an option with them. It's somewhat of a loophole in their EULA, but they did use to encourage devs to sell keys themselves. Selling them through a third party is what breaks the EULA. But not private sales from the developer themselves.

Steam only has a problem is the dev sells more steam keys on their website then steam. Which I don't think has happened yet.

That's good to hear! Thanks. But I just realized I'd have to rely on PayPal or Wise (which I think are American too) to send devs money lol

I'll wait for your GoG release since they accept my JCB card! Good luck!

Oh thank you! 🙂 I was mostly answering your question about steams EULA and selling keys outside the platform. No expectation for you to send any money 😉. Completely understand with PayPal, etc, as I'd very much like to stop using them as well 🤘
