I just bought the L4D Bundle, I was going to keep L4D1 for me, and gift the extra copy of L4d2 to my brother, since I already had it.
I redeemed the bundle, and no extra copy. WTF?

Is it only applicable to L4D1?

Usually when you buy bundles like that, you don't get the extra game.

Hate to say it but nowhere on your link does it say that you'd get a giftable copy in this case.

You only get an extra copy of L4D1, not L4D2.

I believe Valve's policy is if it says you will get an extra copy you will, if not you just waste money. Which is stupid

Nope, unless the bundle says so on the page. 99% of the time you wont get the other games you already own as a gift. Same with indie bundles.

Also it says Left 4 Dead, nothing about two. I guess you can ask steam support, but doubt they'll do much.

You always have to check the store page and the checkout. It will explicitly TELL YOU if you can receive an extra copy to give away. Otherwise, nothing.

"Users who own "Left 4 Dead" and then go on to purchase "Left 4 Dead + Left 4 Dead 2 Bundle" will receive an extra copy of "Left 4 Dead"

You had L4D2 so when you got the bundle you didn't get an extra copy, you had to have LAD1, they are giving an extra copy of the 1st game not the second one. I hope I got that right

Yes I know what you mean. You will only get L4D1 as extra. That's stupid on so many levels I can't even put it on one sentence.

Man i hate to be harsh on you but this was a dumb decision you made. It clearly states that you only get extras of L4D1 if you already own the game, it only applies with that one, not the 2nd one.

Plus you should have given the bundle to your brother because L4D1 is pretty much included in L4D2 already, so no point getting it...

I know you're right. However like you said due to the similarities in both games, I thought receiving one game or another should be the same. I'm going to buy L4D2 for my brother now, It was meant to be a surprise and I'm not going to ruin it :\

Dude, contact support and ask them to remove the bundle from your account and put in the steam inventory, i'm pretty sure they can do that. Then you can buy yourself l4d1 if you really want to waste money on that...

I had a similiar occasion where i bought extra copies by mistake 2 years ago or so, only wanted to pay once and ended up making the same transaction twice somehow. They fixed the problem and gave my money back, so this is no different from what i had 2 years ago.

Well that's nice of you. Tbh, I prob would have made the same mistake. But with things like this, if you aren't 100% sure, or any if you are and feel like talking, just shoot a q in the S.Gifts chat. We're all nice people here :D

...No, this should be "WTF OP?" since you clearly did not read what the words on the page said.

Hmm, if you had read the words on this page, you would've seen why I made this mistake. Also, I asked if it was only applicable to left for dead 1, I did not made a rant out of it. Perhaps I'm not the only one who didn't read ;)
