$18 on Frictional Games Store and only $16 on STEAM

We have had as low as 50% discount on Amnesia in our store. We do not set the price for the discount in other stores and did not know Steam would go for 20%.

That is interesting - why is Steam allowed to set any discount they want? Do they buy game copies in advance like a retail store? I always thought Steam would just offer a sales plattform like ebay.

Can you elaborate on that? I'm curious on how this works.

Steam is the publisher. The publisher sets the price. They could give it away for free if they wanted to.

AFAIK.
