  Why should they be forced to allow other retailers to sell Steam keys at whatever price they want

  Because those other retailers already paid Steam for those keys.

  Why is that reasonable? Storefronts don’t get free keys from Steam, they have to buy them. After they pay Steam, they should be allowed to sell them at any price they want.

  Imagine if Ford said you couldn’t sell your car for less than what Ford dealers charge for used cars.

  My sort of interesting experience:

  I tried to buy the LE on the launch day, and couldn’t get through the payment page. When it was listed as sold out, I bought a regular deck without much difficulty.

  Then I saw the LE was available again, and decided to try to buy it again. I was planning to cancel my original order if I could get the LE.

  I tried to check out dozens of times, but on the final page I kept getting the “something went wrong” error.

  Finally, I decided to cancel my original order (you can do this by requesting a refund on the order page). The refund was issued 15 minutes later.

  I went back and tried to order the LE again. Went though on the very first try, post refund.

  So from my limited experience, I think Steam might be blocking all LE orders (and maybe even regular deck orders?) if you already have an active order.
