    Ah yes, how greedy of a company, to checks notes stop you from telling their online distribution service that you own something you don’t.

    Pirate all you want, live how you want. But valve is a company, they do sorta have to follow those pesky laws and regulations.

        Not if you want to use the steam workshop without buying the DLC.

            Sure those exist, but is there anything like a mod manager that works for those sites? Imagine having to manually manage your mods/addons for a game like Cities Skylines. When I played, I had well over 1000 assets installed. There’s simply no way that would work.

        I understand in some cases. For example, Civilization is very cheap. But DLCs are so expensive…
