It's alleged that they require games sold on other platforms which have a lower cut are not allowed to set their price lower than on steam (i.e. pass those saving on to customers). There are arguments for and against these allegations being true so I'll let the court decide.
That's based on a single email from 10 years ago that was most likely just worded wrong
It's patently false. EGS offers games for free or simply lower prices all the time, even when said games are on both platforms
