Automatically add free DLC to library
It's annoying having to hunt down and manually install free DLC for games we own.

Could we have an option to automatically add free DLC to our accounts?

If we've already got the game, then any time a piece of DLC becomes free (most likely when the developer uploads it as free, though it could also be due to a later price change), it automatically gets added to our account, ready to use next time we launch the game.

If we don't own the game yet, then on purchase, all the free DLC gets added along with the game itself, so it's ready to play from the first run.

The devs usualy provide them as a download that installs it??
Why is this difficult doesnt happen that often and its free.
Be grateful..
Some of my games have had 3 free DLC adding so much to the main game.

As long as they are not automatically checked in the DLC tab and download when I launch the game, sure.

:nkCool:

Just because it's free doesn't mean that I want it.

Developers can already add DLC to a game and automatically grant it to players without making it download by default.

But if you do that, you don't get a store page or reviews.

I think the main thing that gets automatically added to our library's are the free editions some Devs give out to previous owners (like the Bioshock 1 and 2 remasters, Mafia 2 Definitive Edition and more)

And yeah, not everyone wants every single piece of Free DLC. So, the Devs doing it the way they are doing it is fine with me.

Which is precisely why I was asking for an option for it. I knew there would be people who wouldn't want everything (and didn't want to go into the "manage DLC" menu to disable stuff), so I figured an option would be the best fit.
