Comment on Popular stress-testing app OCCT is coming to Steam and includes a special build for Steam Deck

  This software is 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”, 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.

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