Doesn't Steam mandate that if you sell a game on Steam, it should not be more expensive than elsewhere? If that is the case, it is not applied to soundtracks, even if the content appears to be the same. Maybe I should not buy them on Steam, eh? 🤔 I haven't used Bandcamp much yet, though, but might.

You cannot sell Steam keys cheaper elsewhere than it’s sold on Steam. Which makes sense. As for other versions of a thing (game / soundtrack) that’s not distributed via Steam, Steam does not mandate price parity on that, as that would be illegal in many countries.

A different example where it seems more evenly matched. Seems Bandcamp just gives me whatever currency the seller has specified though, feels random.
