DLC Quest

Short description

What happens when DLC practices go too far? An indie developer makes a game that mocks the industry and its foibles, that's what! Defeat the bad guy, save the world and get the girl! But first you'll need to find coins to buy DLC to enable animation, sound and even pausing.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $2.71, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $2.99 launch price. That is 9% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
