What exactly is Plutonium?
-
I was always told that this was essentially a free BO1 and 2 Zombies mod, but it seems i was wrong and you have to own the games on steam prior. I already own BO2 and 3, and i thought i could use this to play BO1 for free but it seems i was wrong. What is the difference between Plutonium and steam?

Plutonium is a launcher that uses your existing files to connect you and your game to another ecosystem of servers that have better online protections compared to steam (google RCE attacks and how they are more common on steam)
They also open up another avenue to mod the game with scripts, textures, etc, and provide a custom cheat protection system.
They also provide tools for individuals to create and host dedicated servers available to other plutonium users thus contributing to that ecosystem mentioned above.
There are also a ton of little tweaks and benefits that are listed in the link above and on the plutonium website but for the most part, those are the big ones.
When activision started shutting people down (other clients/launchers, etc) about 3 years ago, plutonium clarified it's stance on pirated files and now no longer supports them... so while it used to be a thing back then, it was still never really about playing the game for free, but for the things mentioned above and on the link.

Yeah so to easily answer, it WAS free, then the last paragraph in comment above.
