You cannot buy DLC's without owning the base game on steam.

And yes, you can buy a Steam key for that DLC without owning the basegame -- but NO, you CAN'T use that key for anything unless you have the game on Steam....

in the shop i got that info
"To run this content, a basic version of the game is required" and i can buy without having a basic version

It's a key I suppose and applies to what Kargor has said, you can't use the key without owning the base game on steam.

You can buy the content for sure but as it quite clearly states, you need the basic (Steam) licence of the game to use the DLC.

This goes for every game - you can't use DLC without owning the game on this platform.
