Steam doesn't give u extra copies if u already own a game in a bundle?

Kinda sucks, i bought the gta bundle so i could have the few i was missing, and i was going to just gift the extra ones.

If i said I'm buying it as a gift and kept it in my inventory, would i be able to activate the ones i don't have and give away the others?

It'll show up as one entity in your inventory, so no, you won't be able to give away the ones you don't have.

Steam will warn you when you try to buy a bundle that includes games you already own.

There are exceptions to this rule, but they're rare.

Actually I have multiple copies of Civilization 4 and the expansions. Hate that. Must have gotten them as parts of big Packs and not realized.

Yeah... that is literally the worst part of all these bundles. But they are still worth getting in most cases, so I wont complain much.

Yea like i said, i got the first two in a rockstar hits bundle on amazon. So i really didn't end up wasting any money.

Loving this steam sale btw. Kinda want mw3, but i won't pay more than 20 for it since i already own it on 360. Besides that there's not many games i would want that i haven't already bought. (I'm probably set for the rest of my life lol)

If you're referring to the duplicate Civ4 games in your list, those are separate Mac versions.

Yeah, not all games are giftable unfortunately. I don't know if that's a dev or steam decision.

its up to the publisher. valve usually allows gifting of their IP out of bundles

Yeah that's pretty shitty tbh

and if this is true I'm not surprised.
