Oh my mistake, when I read it I thought it was “of course you buy DLC on Steam, where else would you get it” rather than interpreting it as a hard rule they have. Oops.
Still I think my point still stands in terms of tying existing in a more substantial way. I’m not against tying because that’s a good practice. I got burned by Muse Dash not syncing DLC between Steam and other platforms.
Also some quick thoughts, but I assume this tying rule is to prevent DLC duplication? Like, you get a DLC from some place and get the same one on Steam. And to my knowledge, War Thunder skirts around the issue of DLC tying by having a webstore and that’s a pretty big game, though I’m not sure they necessarily count as DLC…
I wrote this at 5 am, so sorry if I don’t manage to bring my point across properly.
