Talk about anything in here. If you've got something newsworthy, please submit it as news. If it seems borderline, submit it anyway and a mod will either approve it or move the post back to this thread.

Why did I read that as "Enchilada" at first? Time to go make dinner I guess.

Does Anyone Have

That be awesome.

The fuck? They give it away like Pez almost every Steam sale ... 20 Euros for games that old is insane.

Even if it were on sale, keep in mind you can only buy a low violence version in Germany (and Australia) which sucks.

#24589 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/07/28 19:59:40

Damn it SleepwalkR ... I can't gift you what you already own! :)

Lol

#24590 posted by SleepwalkR on 2014/07/28 21:44:04

Nevermind then, this is getting ridiculous. The backstory is this: A colleague and I want to play L4D, but 20 Euros for a 5 year old game is ludicrous. So he bought it on DVD from ebay, but of course it's used so he can't register it with Steam. He was frustrated as hell, and I want to play L4D, so I thought I'd ask around if someone has a spare copy.

Fuck Steam.

#24591 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/07/28 21:49:21

Steam claims you own both games. It won't let me gift anything to you. :P I assumed someone else had already hooked you up...

#24592 posted by negke on 2014/07/28 22:26:30

You could trade the game. This way it'll be in Sleepy's inventory and he can gift it to his colleague.

Yeah, the previous owner probably forgot to unregister his key or some shit.

do explain...

Apparently If You Write To Steam

#24596 posted by RickyT33 on 2014/07/28 23:01:11

they can remove the inactive copy you have, then Willem can try and gift you it again...

#24597 posted by Spirit on 2014/07/28 23:06:57

now that sounds massively convenient.

do explain...

1)Buying the game as an Inventory item to be traded.
Add game to cart.
Click 'Purchase as a Gift'.
Click 'Store the gift in my inventory to send later'.
The game is now an 'item' in your Steam inventory.

2)Trading an item with another Steam User.
Go to your friend's profile and click the 'More' drop down button.
Click 'Offer a trade'.
In the trade window, browse your inventory to 'Steam' (this may be the only catagory you have).
Drag the game 'item' to the right side and confirm the contents of the trade.
Your friend will then need to accept the trade.
