Can i family share steam dlc?
For free to play games, DLC cannot be shared since all Steam users "own" the game. Any user may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them.
