You aren't even paying anything, you literally just give them a cut of your turnover when you don't sell anything they carry the costs of it.

You give them a cut of the turnover on their site(steam). Important distinction. A developer can generate steam keys for free and sell them elswhere, as long as the price is the same as on steam.

Yes they are.
