Taking a high cut is the opposite of anti-competitive, that makes it easier for competitors to offer a better deal

...unless you have a policy that requires other marketplaces to sell at the same price as on Steam, undercutting the ability for "better deals" to exist at all.

Which is what the lawsuit is actually arguing is going on.

a policy that requires other marketplaces to sell at the same price as on Steam

or what?

Steam has such a policy. Valve may remove any games from Steam which are sold on other marketplaces for less than they are on Steam.
