Half Life:Source and Day of Defeat:Source on Steam

I have already bought and finished HL2 and I want to get HL:Source and DOD:Source (when it comes out), but Steam won't let me because it says "Only one HL2 purchase per Steam account"????????

Uhhhhhh.....anyone who knows what the **** Steam does have a clue as to how I can get these two games w/o having to buy HL2 again? There are absolutely no options on Steam for getting these games unless you buy the HL2 silver or gold packages.
 
I'd like to know as well since I shelled out $80 for the collector's edition. Already have HL:Source but not DoD:Source.
 
I don't think you can get it unless you buy the Silver or Gold packages. DoD:Source is not released but will be available for silver and gold users when it is. I thought it was explicitly stated that you needed the silver or gold for those games.

Collector's edition gets DoD:Source when its released too AFAIK.
 
If the package you bought does not come with DOD:S, valve has said it can be purchased by itself. Even for people that never bought HL2, they can still buy DOD by itself. Silver and Gold steam come with it, I am not sure about Collectors edition retail though.

Uhhhh....explicity stated where? It's explicitly stated in Steam AFTER you've already bought the game, but for those of us who simply went to the store and bought the game, how were we supposed to know?
 
It will be available separately, why would it only be available to those who bought the right package to begin with? Valve isn't stupid.

if you went out and bought the regular game then you bought "bronze" and don't get dod:source.

Yeah but I didn't just buy any old HL2, I bought the friggin collector's at $80 which is about what the gold package on steam goes for currently.

Well...

Perhaps it depends how much $ Valve gets from your purchase, e.g. they get more & VU gets nothing when you buy Silver/Gold package. Ergo Valve says TY by giving you more goodies for your $$$.
 
Oh Ok I was wrong. But it'd suck for people who bought the regular retail or Steam Bronze and want to buy DoD:Source but it ends up being like $40! Although maybe they'll have different rates?

Bearcat, I was thinking you had downloaded Bronze in which case you would've seen that about DoD but I see what you're saying; sucks about retail.
