It's not GOG's decision in that case to have the DLC sold to base game customers only. In this case, the artist loses out if a soundtrack DLC is sold without the main game. "we pay the music artist for every game sold, and a tiny bonus for every soundtrack DLC on top of that". And while I'd love to buy a soundtrack separately from a game on occasion, there could be a financial arrangement which makes this difficult again without raising the price of the package e.g. Now consider what would happen if you could purchase a platform-independent installation package. When Steam/GOG has already got some money for the base game, you are paying them "a little bit more" to have that (usually tiny) addition added to the game. On the financial front, consider yet again what a DLC is: additional content. I wouldn't even expect a GOG DLC to work on a retail installation! Versioning/integration/packaging differs from store to store, even when the DLC is just one file that the game auto-recognises on launch (small Oblivion DLCs for instance were just one esp file). To expect a DLC package from GOG to work out-of-the-box on Steam is naive. To put it simply, a DLC is additional content to a game. Like others have said, some gamers still haven't understood the dynamics of the different releases that different stores have, or the financial agreements that surround DLC sales. But the very name DLC means DownLoadable Content, so their release has always been intended to be done online, and are thus released this way initially at least. Oblivion was one - while Shivering Isles was an expansion, Knights of the Nine was considered a DLC. I think there was a brief moment where physical copies of 'complete editions' sold at stores were shipping with DLCs already part of the installation on the DVD. Maybe i am wrong about the dlc and expansions stuff. It happens that if a game has released all dlc maybe then they offer it in a retail store with all dlc included. Or most games already had all the expansions included. Other game like starcraft already came with brood war when i bought it in a retail store. Except maybe sims.Įxpansions on the other hand were buyable at least the diablo 2 and Lord of destruction expansion i have.

I'm not a mod, but a mod may or may not answer you on the weekends, and I fear any more posting you do may tank your rep even further.įonzer: It's DLC not expansion like in the old days.ĭLC mostly being tied to an online store and i haven't really seen any buyable dlc in a retail store yet extra like they do online shops. I hope this helps you with pertinent information.

DRM Free doesn't mean all encompassing compatibility of the parts with other released versions of the game. So to get the DLC, you have to own the game on the same platform you purchase the DLC on for compatibility as much as anything. The DLC made for Steam probably won't work for a game released on EGS, and the same for Origin or GOG. It doesn't magically merge versions of the game between platforms (Epic, Steam, Uplay, Origin and GOG are all still separate entities and the games you have on multiple platforms show up multiple times). GOG is doing a thing where you can see and launch all your games from one place (Still in closed BETA) but that is all it really does on the games front. Two different platforms, even if they're both on PC. Thanks guys ) Essentially, you're buying the base game on XBox and trying to get the DLC on PC.

I'd still like a mods perspective on it, perhaps as DRM is removed, maybe there is an issue with the way it interlinks to the base title/s. maybe my crime was misplacing how much benefit I could get from GoG and what I thought was possible. To the person (human acknowledged) that stated my outrage was mis-placed. Some good and logical points in here, and externally you can link games to your Steam profile to enjoy the benefits of what that entails. wasn't it?), anyone that thought any different really need to surround themselves with smarter people. I was purchasing the DLC for the game I already have (cleary implied. KurtzD: Well to think I would buy DLC without knowingly having the game seems like a bit of a stretch in stupidity.
