Found a way to buy/gift steamgames to regift later - Games

[QUOTE=Awesome01;18629874]So are you paying for the game again when you resend the gift?[/QUOTE] Yes.

give me all ur money punk

[QUOTE=Greendead;18628914]Well, I'm trying to figure it out, how this works. So if I got this right, it goes like this: You buy a game as a gift. You gift it to an alternate account and you DON'T collect the gift. You resend the gift to an other account. And BOTH ACCOUNT can actually have the game. Am I right?[/QUOTE] No. It's: You own game A already. It's not a game that automatically converts to gifts if you own it. It's on offer. (or not on offer, doesn't matter) You want to stockpile copies of the game while it's cheap to gift/sell/trade at a later time. You purchase the game as a gift, with the receiver as your alternate e-mail (though someone above mentioned your primary e-mail works too.) Don't accept the gift. The game stays in your "Manage gifts" list and you can gift it (via resend) to whoever you want, whenever you are ready. (Step 5 is stating you have to resend it once first, just in case that part's important.)

[QUOTE=Awesome01;18629874]So are you paying for the game again when you resend the gift?[/QUOTE] No, you only pay for the game when you buy it. But if you want more copies of the game you will have to pay for all the other copies aswell.

I rated you Useful, because this is useful, not informative. Well it's both, but more so useful.

I wish I knew this before I bought the THQ pack.

I rated you useful.

[QUOTE=Fullsteel;18670014]I rated you useful.[/QUOTE] Why thank you kind sir.

I will buy Babo:Invasion for a few extra dollars if anyone has one to be gifted.

[QUOTE=Trogdon;18595727]It says in the Steam Store which ones are, and I think it's L4D, L4D2, Half Life 2, Half Life 2 Episode 1, and Borderlands. The rest you are fucked on. It pisses me off because I should've gotten an extra copy of Saint's Row 2 with my THQ pack, and I was going to give it to my friend to show him a happy Thanksgiving but now I can't :([/QUOTE] I wish Steam let you gift all extra copies of games, I could have gifted all of the Warhammer games :(

People need to stop fucking assuming that when you already own a game and you buy a pack with it in, you do not get the game to regift. That works [B][I]ONLY[/I][/B] on The Orange Box. (Or those deals that steam do sometimes (Like when GTAIV was up for pre-order, you got a free copy of Vice City, but that was regiftable if you already owned it.))

[QUOTE=igamiwarr;18698033]I wish Steam let you gift all extra copies of games, I could have gifted all of the Warhammer games :([/QUOTE] Yeah, I aleady had a few thq games like dow2 and saints row 2.

Don't pretend it did not seem obvious.
