The legal action was brought by digital rights campaigner Vicki Shotbolt in 2024 on behalf of up to 14 million Steam users across the UK, who could be in line for compensation if she wins.

Yeah for most steam dlc content you can just drag and drop it directly into the games folder, or where ever the dlc belongs an it'll just work. Unless it requires any online authentication, and I've seen games where unlocked DLC works anywhere

yeah most games don't have any DRM related to DLC on Steam

DRM on steam most of the time is limited to the base game and sometimes you can just run the binary without Steam

Even on games with denuvo you can use tools to pirate DLC (I did this for SMTVV)
