    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.

          See this software on Steam.
          It’s free, but if you scroll down the Store page you’ll see the “Downloadable Content For This Software” section, and you’ll see there’s paid DLC you can buy for it.

          That’s how it works, Steam supports this for games and software for a while now.

            I understand how DLC works but this would not provide DLC, to my knowledge.

              I don’t understand what you mean?
              The OCCT team can add a “Support the Dev” DLC that costs money but doesn’t add anything to the software, that’s not a problem.

              So if you really want to split hairs it wouldn’t truly be “Downloadable Content”, since the DLC would be empty, but that’s not against the rules as far as I know.

                It sounds like you understand exactly what I mean.

          you’re not explaining how that works

          My brother, search “how to purchase DLC on Steam”
