Are there rules on what future platforms you can promise keys/downloads for?

Heya,

I'm hoping to release a game soon and want to put in the description something along the lines of: "Buying on itch also entitles you to a steam key when/if the game is released on steam."

Is this ok? I seem to remember there being an itch.io rule against this years ago but I can't find any reference to the rule anymore. (I think that rule was primarily in place because getting on to steam wasn't guarunteed due to steam greenlight, so perhaps it's been relaxed?).

Also, if it is against the rules, is there a suitably watered down statement that I could make? For example could i say: "Promising steam keys when a game has not yet been accepted on to steam is against itch.io TOS. That said, l can say that I fully intend to give every itch.io purchase free access to every other version of the game as they become available."

Thanks!
