Bought Cyberpunk 2077 from GOG, linked it to Steam, runs fine. but...

[N13L5]

Steam insists I have to buy cyberpunk2077 in order to buy phantom liberty. But I own it already and I linked it from GoG to steam. I can play it from steam but steam says I must buy what I already own

You added it as a non-Steam game. You did not activate it on Steam, or own it on Steam. You must own the base game on Steam if you want to buy DLCs for it.
You will have to purchase the DLC on GOG, just like the base game.

Feel free to buy the addon on GoG.

From the DLC store page on Steam:

"This content requires the base game Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam in order to play."

As stated, by the DLC on GOG.

You do know, Steam and GOG is not one and same ???

If you want to play the DLC on Steam, you have to buy the base game on Steam and vice versa. Linking doesn't grant you free Steam copies.

Steam and gog are two different stores.

That like saying I bought PS4 copy of game, and said why does Xbox want me to buy a copy of the game, that because they're not same store.

Also when you add games to via steam library the button at bottom left plus sign, where click, and click on "add non-steam game" that meant can add shortcut in your library, not link a game from another store. If you're confusing how gog client works for linking account it doesn't link games across accounts, it doing same thing as "add non-steam game" but automatic processing as copy your game library making all those shortcuts.

So is there anything else you're still confused on?

Btw the DLC also sold on gog, so if you bought game gog, get the DLC on gog as well end of story. If you really want it on Steam, you need to buy base game on Steam.

The Ubisoft game I bought on steam, I was able to buy extension on Ubisoft for it...

So, even if it is true, that Steam makes it impossible to buy an add-on from Steam for a GOG game, that problem doesn't exist in other game stores.

Because Ubisoft games bought on Steam have to be activated in their own launcher, so it's in both store's databases. If you buy something on GoG and then you play it via Steam, it's only in GoG's database.

Now buy a game on the Ubisoft store, then link it to Steam and try to buy dlc for it. You'll find it won't work.
