FloraGreen Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I do not understand why in the world they wouldn't just add both copies to your inventory so you were able to gift both away if you already have the game. The way it works right now is super confusing and plain out bad, and results in a lot of refunds, and in the end will hurt the sales. The way it is right now discourage buying the game as a gift for anyone, Klei you should look into making this system better, so people would actually want to gift this game to someone. I know you've missed out on at least 20$ from me alone due to the way it works right now.

Soulk Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 is not, you rather buy only 1 game with no giftable copy?, what you want is to buy 1 game and be able to gift 2, thats clever Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/85783-the-2-copies-of-the-game-should-be-changed-to-both-be-added-to-your-inventory/#findComment-987245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamscape18459 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Steam has actually changed how gifting works in May of this year. You can find more information here. https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1301948399254001159 Klei cannot change how this works so any feedback regarding this should be directed to Valve Software. Does the bundle of DST containing the extra copy (that you can send to a friend) send the extra copy to your Steam inventory by default? I was under the impression that the changes Valve made in May meant that games (new purchases from the store) could no longer be placed in the Steam inventory and had to be directly gifted to friends. (Or have the monetary amount refunded if they refused the gift.) I am surprised some bundles on the store are allowed to send copies to a Steam accounts inventory.
