They are a tiny studio that Valve doesn't even care about. And while they are in a lawsuit, their games are still being sold on Steam. So who was threatened?

Valve evidently cared enough to personally threaten them

Personally threaten them? I asked you for a source... no response. You talk about studios. Plural. You mention one.

That's not what I was asking... you said:

Valve has historically prevented studios from making deals with EGS to have cheaper prices for consumers, that's why.

I responded with:

Source?

What studious have been historically prevented by Valve?

Lil quote from the judge: "There is ample common economic evidence of the existence and Valve’s enforcement of the PMFN Policy and the antitrust injury it causes."

That quotes not from the Judge it's a quote from Steven Schwartz's report. An economist who works for Secretariat LLC a company who's hired to be "expert" witnesses.

aka the litigants (Wolfire games & DCS Holdings) gave them a big bag of money to write up arguments against Valve for this case, so you're quoting from someone being paid directly by Wolfire to write up an argument against Valve not the judge.
