    When it releases on Steam it will be free but also have an "optional non-recurrent purchase

    I can’t say I’ve ever seen an “optional non-recurrent purchase” on Steam, are they even coded for that?

      What do you mean?

      “Optional non-recurring purchase” means buying something once lol, of course Steam lets you buy stuff.

          Yeah? That’s how every purchase on Steam works? I don’t recall being forced to buy any game or DLC

            Yes but if you don’t purchase games on Steam, you don’t get to play them.

              So…?

              I can download a free game on Steam and not download the paid DLC that unlocks whatever feature. How’s that hard to grasp compared to this piece of software?

                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.
