I don't think that's what people are arguing.

If I manufacture your product from a product version prototype you provided me and give you unlimited access to that product to use outside my manufacturing plant and store front, then say, you can have and sell all this free product I manufactured for you, but you have to price it the same in my store as you do where you sell it elsewhere, that's makes sense.

What doesn't make sense and what isn't right, is if they say "you can't price your product that someone else is manufacturing for you at a price lower than the one your price my manufactured product of yours at.

But people keep thinking that those two groups are saying the same thing, that Valve should be allowed to do it regardless of who manufactured what when that's not what they are saying.

If Valve is doing this, they obvious should have the book thrown at them. But we haven't seen evidence of that that isn't tantamount to hearsay. So we are doing what you should do when you hear something and can't determine the veracity of what is being said. You wait for proof and don't make up your mind based on rumors.
