IMO the fact that the developer is selling the game five cents cheaper on another storefront doesn't prove that it's bullshit. As I said, it could just be that Steam doesn't care enough to go after them for a five cents difference, or they allowed it on that specific case after the developer sued them in 2021, or maybe who knows, it's an entirely different reason. Calling it "bullshit" without even knowing the context is way too rushed.

They made a claim... A claim that you can readily show they're clearly ALREADY doing. They need to GIVE the context.

They chose not to. I'm not going to jump on their bandwagon on just blind faith. I'm going to question their claim because they're already doing what they claim they cannot do. However the fact that they chose to omit that context that they should have provided from the outset is itself damning. People don't omit facts that would prove their point. They do however make statements that are inconsistent when they're lying.
