It IS true. They've threatened to delist developers who wanted to sell on non-steam key sites at lower prices.

There's a ongoing class action lawsuit (which is already 2+ years old), started by Wolfire games, for exactly this scenario.

    After looking into that more I've yet to see any hard evidence of valve threatening to delist devs for selling cheaper elsewhere. And presumably, so have the courts, because otherwise that seems like it would be a slam dunk case. I'll believe it when I see it, but just going on word of mouth doesn't convince me.
