Hey thanks! Got HL2: Deathmatch for free.

 

You like -rep, right?

He likes -rep a little too much for my liking. It even says in his location "Don't forget to -rep me".

I like +rep

I just saw that Batman: Arkham Asylum game of the year edition is on sale, 75% off, at $7.50

 

What do you think? I've never played this game before. It has a metacritic score of 91.

[Axeldeath]

Yeah, it's supposed to be very good. I'm not getting it though.

[J.C.]

Yeah... I ended up buying it anyway...

[BTGBullseye]

Quakecon Pack 2011 is only $70...

[Alyxx Thorne]

If only I had more money...

[BTGBullseye]

Same... I really want that Quakecon pack... It would probly complete my collection. I'd even have a copy of Quake 2 I could gift someone.

[The Hamburglar]

I'm probably going to order a couple Quake games in the mail because I have a weird obsession with owning the cases to all my favorite games.

[Lord Sinister]

Why oh why is Quake 4 at a silly price and not discounted at all!?

[Axeldeath]

It was discounted, you could have paid 25 dollars and got every Quake and Doom game ever made 2 days ago.

I already own every Quake and Doom game on Steam EXCEPT for Quake 4.

Then you could've gifted the rest to me!

[Lord Sinister]

I don't think they're giftable copies.

[Blightmare]

I thought everything had a giftable option...

 

Edit: yep. Add to cart and click "purchase as gift"

[Axeldeath]

Fallout 3 and NV are pretty low ATM.

[BTGBullseye]

I don't think they're giftable copies.

If you already own a game in a pack that you buy, all duplicate copies automatically become giftables. (you can't have 2 copies of the same game on the same account, but you still payed for the second copy)

That's not what I meant.

This only applies for certain games. Unless it explicitly states that copies of games I already own in the pack can be gifted, they'll just vanish when I buy the pack. It's been like this on Steam for a long while.

EDIT2: This is what it states if I add the Quakecon pack to my cart. It refers me to the support page and does not explicitly say the extra copies are giftable.

 

Quakecon Pack 2011: According to our records, you already own one or more of the items included in this package on Steam. If purchasing for yourself, see the Extra Copies support article to determine whether the items you already own can be shared with friends.

That sucks... I must've gotten a package that was covered by that then.
