[Bug] Life is Strange Complete Season "exists in account" if you have only the first episode

I'm aware of what it is. But Steam only shows one item in the Complete Season right now, the Episode 1 purchase. Which SteamGifts has listed as owned for him. It would need to show at least one item he doesn't own (or isn't shown as own, such as DLCs) for him to enter.

As for entering for a pack despite owning part of it, that is up to the gifter. They can reroll, they can gift, their choice. I'm not going to argue about it in this topic, just explaining why he can't enter this.

Probably not a problem. Pretty sure it will act like a complete pack when you already have the base game, giving you all the DLCs. When I go to purchase it in Steam, I get the below text.

Life Is Strange Complete Season (Episodes 1-5): According to our records, you already own one or more of the items included in this package on Steam.
If purchasing for yourself, you will not receive an extra copy of:

• Life Is Strange™

It isn't popping up the text saying I can't activate it at all.

BTW, there is 2-5 pack in the Steam Store.
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/58600/ (China, ...)
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/58601/ (Russia, ...)
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/58602/ ROW?
Also, there are keys just for episode 2 but they are not available in the Steam Store and sold in different stores.

It's still better to not necro a thread unless it's a developing topic that you're updating the status of, since it's better both to have an active OP and to not dredge up older subtopics or dramas.

And it's presumably not a bug, but rather a misconfiguration on the part of the publisher. They don't properly list DLC content in the public data for the package, which means SG doesn't receive contents outside of the base game, from which the site then assumes means anyone with the base game owns the entirety of the package.

Note that internal data like what is listed in steamdb doesn't seem to have any direct correlation to what is listed within public API information (as subs regularly don't fully visually list their steamdb content), and even the visual listing of content doesn't always seem to match with the API info (as seems to be the case for LiS).

Also, if you're referencing any specific script, it's generally better to bump the thread associated with that script, as you can generally best get information there (even if your intention is to talk about something tangental). That is to say, in this case, you'd be better off asking within the ESGST thread why it can detect such packages.
If it's anything like SGT, it's actually going to be due to a manual configuration on the part of the script creator- which, yes, is something cg theoretically could do as well; There have also been scripts that somehow* directly make use of you being actively logged into Steam Community while using SG to pull up additional data, so there may be a similar occurance happening here.

* [Presumably it's down to the difference between calling on your own library via your personal user access versus a site using its developer access to do so.]

Of course, it could be that there's a misconfiguration on SG's end for a change, but given rare it is to see manual overrides on SteamGift's end of things, it's rather unlikely. In any case, it's pretty certain that what is happening isn't a bug, since it's a consistant trait of how SG and SGT and similar sites receive data from the API.

Rather, if you own 100% of all non-DLC components in a package, it is treated as owned.
If the package has any DLC components whatsover, since DLC is never properly marked as owned, you will always be able to enter giveaways for the package.

In this case, the issue is that the package was made when only the first episode existed, and it was never updated to reflect the IDs of subsequent episodes. I've noticed a few packages like that.

Since there's no DLC in the package, and you own 100% of the listed content, it assumes you own everything within it.

That sound about right? :)

I'm not sure what you meant about it not being listed as a subID, though. :)
Are you saying because it's not listing as 'items included in this bundle', that's part of the issue?
I hadn't noticed that component before =O

Swapping the individuals affected is clearly a valid solution.
We'll just, like, reactivate/deactivate the complete season every few months to swap around who gets the short stick.

I guess we could also just try and poke the publisher and get them to fix their sloppy package formatting, but that's clearly a silly idea by comparison~
