I had already bought TF2 than I bought the Valve Complete pack. SHouldnt I have an extra copy?
Valve should make it so buying ANY package lets you gift ANY game you have dupes of.
When they release the trading system for multiples of the same weapon in TF2, they should do it for steam to, for multiple games.
That happened to me when I bough Portal, then bought the Orange Box.

You could either have 10 people buy 2 of the same $50 game, so you have 10 people with 2 copies of separate games. They trade each other once they've finished the game. If you get enough copies, everyone could just trade everything and in that way less money is being put into the developers. It's like a one-time purchase for as many titles there are on steam multiplied by how many people participate. It's still a lot of money, but depending on the situation, game trades usually means less money for devs and publishers. Which they want lots of money.

[QUOTE=Agoat;16323283]He meant for duplicate games.[/QUOTE] I know. Which I realized halfway through. I'm just saying you could get a bunch of guys to buy games twice or even three times and have endless cycles of trades.
How? [editline]12:58AM[/editline] You can only trade the game if you have a dupe, you can't keep passing it on.
