At the end of the day though, those keys are only redeemable on the Steam platform and serve Valve's interest in keeping users within the Valve eco-system.

As an existing Steam user though, this is great for me! It means one less third party DRM platform I need installed.

Well, the comment I replied to, was about the 30% cut, though ;)

And regarding DRM: People often forget that the use of DRM with Steam is in the hands of the Devs/Publisher. There are DRM-free games on steam. Now, how convenient it is to back up those games is another thing, but it’s often possible.
