Have you ever bought a game just to give it away?

Yes. Isn't that what this site is about?

Yeah, a few times. Thinking of doing it again soon.

Of course! I'm too late for this one but thanks anyway :)

and gives alot of CV

I can't find the source atm, but if I remember right, I read that if a game was 90% off at the Steam Store (like this game now) it will be added to the Bundle-list.
If this still stands, its CV value will be changed (cut to 15%) in some days which will apply to all GA-s since the beginning of the sale.

Would be great if a Staff member could confirm that the 90% off games will be bundle valued.

too many times :> I even ended quite a lot buying something for myself, but giving it away anyway ;p

yes :c

Last one I bought was the Borderlands 2 4 pack, wich I gave away 3 copies and kept one for myself.

More than a few times, yes...i even have one still in my Steam Inventory waiting for a GA, one which has just now been bundled :(

And that's the point, where I get jealous, because I can't buy games on steam to giveaway due to region locks.

I do this all the time, especially if its a game I'm interested in or like and want to share with the community. Most recently, I bought five copies of Life is Strange. One for myself, and four to give away. In fact, I'd say about half of my giveaways are things I bought explicitly to give away. Maybe more than half.

Of course. I always buy the happy hour IG just to gift the extra copies to my friends.
And during deep discounts I always purchase games that are wishlisted to be given away.

Yes. And that was stupid. Twice as stupid actually, cause I didn't know about this "bundle" thing back then.

all my giveaways are bought at steam. i never bought bundles.

:|

Yes, Fortix, because I had to :)

Yes, I have a few times.

Well yeah.

Yes, majority of my games I'd say.
How To Survive, 2 copies of Speedrunners, Puzzler World 2, Hitman: Absolution, Startopia, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

Yes, for my girlfriend.

I did. But I can't do it anymore because of region lock and I don't have a credit card to buy bundles/from different stores other than Steam. It sucks, really.

When not counting bundles, I'm quite sure I've bought more games for giveaways than for myself at this point. And, no, not for "CV". Because I want more people to get a chance to experience those games. :P

The title of this thread totally reminded me of a Linkin Park song.

fortix, ftl, don't starve (price glitch convinced me to get a 2-pack), crazy machineses (which were considered bundled even though it was a sale), bioshock, and maybe a few others.

Yes, bad rats

Ok yea i had, bought 2 copies of San Andreas, 2 of DST and 1 of DST Pack, Chivalry, Injustice god among us, and few more

I sure have. Just bought 10 games today to give away. Most have not been bundled, either.
