I've reached out to IO Interactive to inquire about the pricing, and the reason for the sale reversal on the Epic Store, and will update if I receive a reply. Even if it's not a policy, though, IO Interactive may simply want to avoid ruffling feathers-either Valve's or gamers'-by offering Hitman 3 at a discount that's not available on Steam. Rosen's antitrust lawsuit against Valve was dismissed in November 2021 (opens in new tab), but questions about Valve's attitude toward price parity remain-especially since a reduction in platform cuts (opens in new tab) on both the Epic and Microsoft store fronts have not resulted in lower regular prices on either. "But when I asked Valve about this plan, they replied that they would remove Overgrowth from Steam if I allowed it to be sold at a lower price anywhere, even from my own website without Steam keys and without Steam’s DRM." "When new videogame stores were opening that charged much lower commissions than Valve, I decided that I would provide my game Overgrowth at a lower price to take advantage of the lower commission rates," Rosen wrote. The other half arises from Valve's reported policies on price parity: Wolfire Games founder David Rosen alleged in a May 2021 blog post that Valve has an unwritten rule against offering games cheaper on other digital storefronts than they are on Steam.

That prevents IO Interactive from lowering the price of Hitman 3 in the Steam Sale, but that's only half of the issue. ![]() However, you can submit a launch discount to take effect when your game first releases, and if your product releases within 7 days of a major sale event (like the Steam Summer Sale, for example), Valve can help you extend that introductory launch discount to last through the sale event. Generally, you cannot submit a discount within 30 days of release or 30 days from when the launch discount ends. ![]()
