New information has come to light about Valve's alleged anti-competitive practices, and if what they say is true, it doesn't look good.

I was confused by this news because I buy games cheaper from other retailers all the time, even Steam keys. I assume this about full retail price, but since PC games go on sale so often, it seems like "average retail price" can easily be lower through another store front.

As far as I have always heard, it's about the MSRP, unless a shop has a permanent sale, which essentially also causes a lower MSRP.
