Let’s say you’re a shipping company, and you charge a fee based on how much I sell a product for. I say “can you ship this giant box for me, it’s real heavy but I’m not charging for it”. So you cover the costs to deliver that package, and I pay nothing because it was free.
You then find out that while yes, I give that type of thing away for free constantly, the majority of users will call me after the fact to pay me $100 to activate special features.
Would you take issue with the fact that you’ve paid for the shipping, and I’ve skirted around paying you?
Seems fair to me, assuming that starter pack is a server-side component usable with a copy of the game from Steam.
I dunno.
