Unless I am gravely mistaken, Steam doesn't allow developers to sell Steam Keys of the game for less than they would on Steam itself - which is exactly the reason why he will be distributing these Steam keys to Patreon members that have already donated an equivalent amount before the Steam launch (a common practice).
Right? The only thing that would have to change is that, those that subscribe via Tiers priced less than the nominal 10€ (the worth of the Steam Key) will have to wait until they have "spent" the equivalent worth in Patreon subscriptions (if you subscribe at the 5€ Tier, you would again have to wait at least 2 months before you could request a Steam Key from the developer) post-launch.
Not to mention, he could just keep giving people access to "raw" game builds, instead of Steam Keys - as they have done so far.
Now, because Steam has its own rules, a few things will need to change a bit.
But first, a quick refresher on something I've mentioned before:
The game will be priced at $9.99 on Steam (this is after a launch discount, with the full price being $14.99). If your total support has already reached $9.99 or more, just DM me, and I'll send you a Steam key after the game launches.
By total support, I mean that even if you were on the $1 tier for 10 months, you can also dm me for a key.
