In any case, the 3 winners who got these week ago from my giveaways were not able to redeem them. They got this error:
Please first activate the original game. The product code you've entered requires ownership of another product before activation..
I have also asked a friend who does not own Quake to try and redeem, and it's the same result. https://steamdb.info/app/9040/info/
shows this details:
dependantOnApp Quake (app/2310)
MustOwnAppToPurchase Quake (app/2310)

Originally the Quake Mission Pack 1 & 2 required original Quake (I know this because I won Mission Pack 1 from local PC magazine and had to buy Quake) but when both were added to Steam they were made to be played without Quake. So in short: Quake Mission Pack 1 & 2 don't require basegame, dunno about Quake II Mission Pack.

I don't think anything has changed. Yes, these expansions show up as separate library entries, so in that sense they don't seem to be DLC.
But when it comes to purchasing them, Steam doesn't allow it if basegame not owned. So in that sense they behave exactly like DLC though:)

Oh ok, I stand corrected :) I remember winning the first mission pack and was really bummed when I noticed that I still need the original :D Well I just had to buy it and I'm glad I did, great game. Maybe I'll have to buy them again, but on Steam this time (I think I have misplaced my cds).
