Valve offers this for free: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/steamdatagramrelay https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/stea... > Steam Datagram Relay (SDR) is Valve's virtual private gaming network. Using our APIs, you can not only carry your game traffic over the Valve backbone that is dedicated for game content, you also gain access to our network of relays. Relaying the traffic protects your servers and players from DoS attack, because IP addresses are never revealed. All traffic you receive is authenticated, encrypted, and rate-limited. Furthermore, for a surprisingly high number of players, we can also find a faster route through our network, which actually improves player ping times.

  Don't they allow you to sell steam keys without giving them a cut?
  - sosodev 7y ago
    It’s definitely done but I’m not sure if it’s technically allowed

    They do, but they also say you can’t sell keys outside steam for 66% of the steam price, has to be at least 100%.

For free meaning I can make a prototype game just for learning purposes for free?
