This is the coolest pricing gimmick I've ever seen: the colder the weather is in London, the cheaper this videogame gets (www.pcgamer.com)

This clever pricing system is only available on Itch.io, [...] It is also on sale on Steam until March 7, but that price doesn't fluctuate.

I thought steam had some sort of t&c agreement where you had to price all copies of a game the same no matter the store they were on. surely this would violate those rules. or am I misremembering that?

I believe it's Steam Keys can be sold anywhere but they have to be for the same price as buying the game through Steam itself.

It would, but Steam only kind of enforces the rule. They seem to enforce the rule if there is a significant and constant history of pricing a game lower on another platform (eg Humble Bundle)
