I’m not spending 5 dollars twice. You will allow the apps to communicate purchases from other platforms or you will refund me or you will have a lawsuit on your hands. I will sue you. **Developer response:** Hello. Steam and iOS operate as completely separate digital storefronts with independent billing systems. Purchases made on Steam do not transfer to iOS, which is standard practice across the gaming industry (e.g., buying a game or DLC on PC does not unlock it on PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch). As noted on our Steam store page, PC purchases are valid for PC only. We have no technical or legal mechanism to bypass Apple’s App Store billing system to unlock content for free. If you no longer wish to keep the PC DLC, you can request a refund directly through Steam within their standard refund window. ### 1/5 — Pc a rischio *2025-12-13, version 1.9.8* A me dice che c’è il pc a rischio ### 1/5 — Malo *2025-12-11, version 1.9.8* Intente utilizarlo para PS4 una vez conectado perfectamente los números letras y RPM se descontrolaban sin darte la información NO RECOMENDADO ### 5/5 — Good *2025-08-19, version 1.9.8* Never though it could work this good.
