Can i imagine DLC GAs for games i don’t own being useful to me?

Yes, i can micromanage my SG experience and know how to use ‘Hide’ where due
No, i run a bot for autojoining and i don’t care for interests of those who enter manually

Are you even aware that the VAST majority of SG users are bots and will abuse your suggestion?

Even if the true, loyal, trustworthy few of us were up for it ... we are less than 0.001% of the total active users.

Besides, DLC can't be verified with the Steam API (hence why you can still enter DLC related giveaways even if you own it), so bots would just win it, and the "main account" holder would then sell or giveaway the exact same key and get CV on the SG account ....

You can't enter for dlc if you don't own the game anyway - so this can't be a thing because you need to activate the key on your account within 7 days or be punished and you can't add dlc on steam if you don't own the game - outside of some ost

This on its own is not a problem. You would just have to buy the base game quickly and then activate the
DLC. The main problem is that DLC activation can't be verified with Steam API, so this would be easier to cheat.

You can't enter for DLC unless you own the game beforehand.
This thread is all sorts of levels of dumb.

Yes, you can't. And OP is suggesting a feature to change that.

If the Steam API could check for DLC ownership (so that SG can check that it has been activated), then I don't see any problem with OP's suggestion. Maybe OP didn't know that when posting.

If i understand you correctly, then it is point 3

You can see them but you can't enter them till you own the base game.

Thanks, but without the ability to enter them what’s the point… :(

You can get the game, refresh your SG profile, and enter the DLC.

What if you bought the game first like literally every other member.

Looking for site exploits isn't a good look.
