This was a huge reason I played Payday 2 for so long pre-2015. One person in the crew could buy the DLC and everyone could run it.

MW5 also had that, only reason I played the DLC at the time because money was tight.

Hell yeah, remnant 2 is a fantastic game and it runs perfectly on Linux too

This should be more common than what it is.

Good business decision right there I think. Akin to how Vermintide does DLC too.

I got the first one for free on Epic. Enjoyed it enough that I bought the DLC for it, and was pleasantly surprised that my friends didn't need the DLC in order to play it with me, it was great!

And then about a year later I returned to the game with a different set of friends, and was no longer able to access the DLC until my friends also bought it.

It was a huge let down and I'm still pretty disappointed they changed that. I'm very skeptical this will stay this way.
