DLC segmentation
When I wasn't at home, my nephew used my auric cells to buy the demogorgon. Rats.
So, if I am to later buy the Stranger Things DLC from Steam, is the game smart enough to realise I already own the killer segment, and refund back 500 ac?

DLC and in-game purchases are treated separately
For a long time, DLC was the only way that players could buy characters. With the addition of the in-game store, we wanted to provide the option to buy characters separately instead of being locked into a full DLC.
Since the DLC is handled by 1st parties (Steam / Sony / Microsoft) and the in-game store is directly handled by Dead by Daylight, the transactions are handled separately.

Have your little dude do your laundry for a month. That'll teach him the value of a dollar.

Game.OnLoad() // event
{
var newDLCs = store.GetNewlyBoughtDLCs();
var existingComponents = store.GetPurchasedComponents();
foreach (var dlc in newDLCs.List)
{
foreach (var newComponent in dlc.Components)
{
if (existingComponents.Include(newComponent))
{
store.ReallocateCost(newComponent);
}
}
}
}
Yes, the above pseudo-code is simplistic and ignorant of the existing architecture, but that'd be the general approach I'd take when trying to tally a player's store purchases vs in-game purchases.

But first sell the other one so he can buy other auric cells.
