If my position is steam/valve/newel aren't the saints they get portrait as and back it up with a example that demonstrates that they are just as bad as their competition and your retort is their competition does it too then I'm not sure what you've debunked there.
Here is another example: Valve has been, and still is, pushing unregulated gambling in it's games, which are also marketed at minors. Please remember if you want to debunk my take then "their competition does so, too." doesn't cut it.
Sounds like Valve is the trendsetter. The other e-shops decided to follow suit. Epic Store has an interesting model, and the games made with Unreal still get sold on Steam.
Speaking of “unregulated gambling”, Fortnite (Epics flagship money maker) also has unregulated gambling, does it not?
Whales are everywhere, its not exclusive to Valve, sorry to burst that bubble. You cant say “REE VALVE BAD GABES EVIL” when the competition does the exact same ***. People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones or something like that.

I didn't narrow it down to just Humble Bundle.
I narrowed it down to the ones you listed. I didnt cherry pick jack ***.

Lets take the second example on your list. According to steamdb Pragmata never went for less than 59,99 on steam. If we look it up on ggdeals we see multiple offers for 50 and less. Fanatical, which is similar to Humble Bundle, is among those sub 50 offers.
They sell you a steam key. I dont know the process how they get their stock but my guess is theyre resellers who bought in bulk at discount.
