    The points linked above allege Valve will delist a game from their platform if the price is lower off-platform (even for non-key sales), correct?

    This is called a “Platform Most Favored Nation” clause, and it has anti-competitive effects. It is controlling the price off-platform using the leverage of market share to coerce behaviors out of publishers.

    Please also link me this European court case, I have been unable to locate it myself.
