Can tf2 be gifted if you already have it?

I think it's only HL2 that can be gifted.

Speed · 29 Nov 2010 at 15:50

It is only HL2 and EP1. I'm certain through my own experience and the fact it states it here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4502-TPJL-2656

See b and c.

When I bought the Orange Box in early 2009 I got a gift copy of HL2, because I already had the game.

I bought the orange box and it gave me the option of gifting team fortress 2. However I didn't click the button 'gift the game' as it stated that I can also visit game list and from there I can gift it. How do I do it?

Grrr Orange Box sale only until 6pm? Don't they realise that some of us don't get home from work until later than that?

Want me to gift you a copy? Just need your registered steam e-mail address and you can pay me when you get home.

Well they're on there for 24 hours, and valve is an American company, so I doubt they take into consideration what time people finish work in other countries.

Check on there when you get home though. Sometimes the reduced prices stay for a little while after the deadline. They might not be in the deals section, but if you click on them in the "most popular" list you can get them for the reduced price.

Pretty sure you can still purchase games via www.steampowered.com, just login with steam id + pass, and checkout as usual.

I think i'd grab AvP if it was £3.75

I managed to get King's Bounty about an hour after the daily ended, if that if that provides any hope.

As per my previous post, happy to gift you a copy now and you pay later. Just let me know your registered steam e-mail address (you can edit it out of the post after).

Really nice of you to offer - it's ok though, thanks.

TBH I think it'll destroy all motivation to do stuff that I really should be doing!

No worries, offers stands if you change your mind.

I really hope todays deals is a good one. Wouldn't mind AVP or MOH.

Shamikebab · 29 Nov 2010 at 17:23

Have they fixed the problems with the Mount and Blade Warband serial keys yet?

WingZero30 · 29 Nov 2010 at 17:23

Guys just want to check something. I have bought the orange pack now and few days ago I also bought half life 2 for £1.40. Now steam is giving me the option of gifting the extra copy of half life 2. Can I sell the extra copy for £1.40 in MM as I don't need it?

dirtydog · 29 Nov 2010 at 17:27

Most people give their gift copy of HL2 away for free TBH, I think there is a thread in this forum for that purpose somewhere.

I was originally gifted my copy of HL2, and I subsequently gifted mine when I bought Orange Box on its release.

Don't see why not.

Chipps101 has done just that so I think it is reasonable to sell the extra copy for just £1.40.
