Why do I need steam open in order to join the server?

Q: Why do I need Steam open to join the RedM server?

 

A: Our framework works off Steam identifiers by default just like most if not all other scripts do, regardless of where you purchased the game, such as Epic Games Store or Rockstar Games Launcher you just need Steam open so the database grabs your ID. We went with this route because otherwise while obtaining scripts we would need to purchase unlocked scripts so the dev team could make a change to them which would take a bit of unnecessary time that they could be putting into other projects instead. Unlocked scripts while it gives us freedom to change anything within it they however sometimes cost twice as much as a normal locked script that uses steam identifiers by default.
