    Well the question is indeed why can’t I buy my DLC on epic if I purchased the game on steam. If the price on epic is better at the moment I want to buy. The answer is because these things are tied to the purchase on the platform.

    Indeed some publishers work around this by having their own back end/ launcher etc. but then still have you ever seen anyplace it is possible to buy the game on steam and then buy dlc on epic or GOG? I can’t think of any. Only option then it buy directly from the publishers launcher.

    And the fact this is hard to solve… it is going on for over a decade and hundreds of millions of profits where made by publishers, valve and other storefronts.
