Garrulous Glaahk dave s Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So Steam bundle is on sale cheaper than just buying Avernum 2 separately. I have all the other games. Will I be able to give out the other games as gifts or once I download Crystal Souls will the whole thing be locked to my account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I just checked by putting the bundle into my cart, and sure enough, Steam warned me that I already owned Avernum 2: Crystal Souls on Steam and would not receive an extra copy if I bought the bundle. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk adc. Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 That happened to me before and it seems like the 'bundle' is treated like a single game. Once opened, you will get the games at an instant, compared to when it's gifted individually; which you can keep all others and open AV:2 for yourself, sadly, Steam's smart enough for that.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 There are a few specific cases (mostly Valve games) where buying a bundle containing games you already own will give you extra copies that you can gift to others. But the general rule is that you don't get extra copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasoned Roamer Rugila Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 You should have bought Avernum 2:CS on the launch day. It was cheap by then. Yes, I know what they say about buying games on the launch date is risky, but you can't really go wrong with Avernum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would hold off on buying A:CS at the moment. The way Steam sales work means that it's possible for one (or more) SW game to get an even bigger discount. Whilst it's cheap at the moment, if it's selected for a flash sale or is unlocked through the monster game, it could end up going even lower.

Garrulous Glaahk dave s Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Alright. It's sad though. I have a friend that would really enjoy Geneforge. I'd love to buy the bundle and give away the other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma GiantFriendlyTalkingSpiderman Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 the fact that Av2 is showing up on my wishlist at 70% off when its only the bundle that's 70% off is really making me mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 If you haven't yet bought it, Avernum 2: Crystal Souls has just been discounted further to 70% off for the next 48 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only see it at 50% did you miss-read that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I saw it featured at a 70% discount in the Monster Summer Game deal window; it's now dropped back to a 25% discount (while the bundle remains at a 70% discount, making it cheaper than A2:CS on its own). I'm not sure if I clicked through from the summer sale frontpage to the actual store page; it's possible that the sale page displayed the wrong discount. That happens sometimes.

I would be very, VERY surprised if there isn't a Steam sale for Spiderweb Software games this season. While they are no where near the most popular games, Valve is notorious for wanting your money.They'll probably throw something on at least one of them. Anything to get the money from your (virtual) wallets into their (physical) pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah, there was one. The whole collection is 70% off, and as Lilith pointed out, Avernum 2: Crystal Souls also saw a big discount for a little while. I'm not quite sure why you quoted me, either, since I said there's a good chance some SW games would see bigger discounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Because I was expanding apon the chance that there would be one from experience, and I was too lazy/tired to read anything past your post. Honestly, spidweb is notorious from repetition in its answers because of people who don't read the whole thread. Why are you so surprised that I did it for once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
