Brave New World isn't
Early Access title. What Valve is doing here is making sure no one can ask higher price for an
Early Access key than what it is listed on Steam.
As for enforcing,
Early Access is their service, they can enforce it anyway they like. But if the same title is sold on some other type of service other than
Early Access, the price can be set to anything the devs/publishers want.
PS. Did I use
bold enough to make everyone realize this is about
EARLY ACCESS titles
ONLY. So, no, Valve is still not the evil overlord and Gabe Newell still doesnt eat newborn babies for breakfast.
PPS. Coldfront, good luck with the DoJ.
