New user, so I have to wait for moderator approval on my posts. Also sorry for the homework if this wasn't even a deliberate choice.ĮDIT: Sorry for the delayed responses guys.
Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to the resolving of this unfortunate issue.
Hopefully this all made sense, and some kind soul chooses to act on it. Alternatively if you do not want to go through the whole process of contacting Steam for this, you can also just include the current and future free DLC's into the base game (as a patch) instead of an optional download. There have been several examples of studios getting this done quite quickly apparently, so it is indeed possible. So I'm reaching out to Obsidian today in the hopes that they reverse this decision if they even made one. I think most developers (and even publishers) wouldn't choose to do this, as it's purely spiteful, and bizarre. Which would be quite absurd for free content. Instead I have to either refund the game (impossible in this case), or buy it again. Because after all, why make it free if you're going to restrict it anyways? It leaves no recourse for the non-"purchaser" of the game, as I cannot add the free DLC, nor purchase it as with normal DLC.
However it seems like from my brief researching, that several studios were unaware of this and meant no ill-will by it. This is also allegedly up to the developer's/publisher's (not sure which) discretion, which they can either deactivate or not. Which means that even if you say went half-in on a title with a friend, you cannot have access to any free content that game possesses unless you were the "purchaser" of said content. Apparently Steam can suppress the sharing of free DLC on family-sharing. So for those who might not know (like me before Pillars).
