What if we all make that bank account really big where the whole country contributes to it?

Road for cars vs road for people.

Are you and the person the pic is addressing both cars?

It seems a lot of those content type are regarding promotion on the steam store, so it means their games won’t get featured on the front page (essentially steam advertising their game) if they are undercutting the sale of the content. On some it seems to be about in game purchases/DLCs, which also could be a problem if someone could buy those outside the system for far lower price and still use the version launched from steam (particularly if it’s a free to play title)

A few of them do they clarify that they would still sell their stuff on steam but not promote them, but most of the other ones lack the context for this.

Not if they want to sell on steam, if they want steam to issue steam keys for purchases made outside of steam. Yes they literally let you use all the steam infrastructure for sales that they don’t get to take a cut out of, with the requirement being you cannot undercut them for those sales.

If you want to sell for cheaper outside of steam you can, you just no longer can ask steam to issue extra keys beyond those sold on steam store.
