    Yeah? That’s how every purchase on Steam works? I don’t recall being forced to buy any game or DLC

      Yes but if you don’t purchase games on Steam, you don’t get to play them.

        So…?

        I can download a free game on Steam and not download the paid DLC that unlocks whatever feature. How’s that hard to grasp compared to this piece of software?

          I can download a free game

          Yes, free, not “optional purchase”. If the game is listed for free there is no mechanism to purchase it on Steam. How’s that hard to grasp?

            You’re a bit slow my dude.

            This software is free to download, but includes an additional optional purchase.

            Guess what, old school RuneScape on Steam is also free to download, but includes an additional optional purchase.

              You keep saying this but you’re not explaining how that works. Because nothing else in Steam, to my knowledge, works that way. And now you’re being rude for reasons I don’t understand so I’m going to block you now. Good day.

                you’re not explaining how that works
