I know about Dota 2 - they're everpresent everywhere.

But for the three games listed above? Have they ever been in a bundle? But even then, THQ's games like Darksiders still have value at least a dollar.

And each copy spawns two more copies, which each spawn another copy. Almost everyone who wants it has it by now.

Either you have a copy that was already spawned by the gifter's copy of Bad Rats, or you simply need to expose it to water.

Everybody has Fortix cause it's the best game ever, who wants to trade for a game everyone has! And, Bad Rats and The Ship have been in bundles. The Ship was given for free many times, many owners got extra copies as well. And Bad Rats doesn't have a good rep for being a desirable game.

I have managed to trade three copies of the ship, two copies for The Heist and one copy for the Tripewire Bundle. I was pretty amazed I was able to make those deals since there have been many opportunities for people to get The Ship for free. Thankfully I am left with a bunch of other non-free games to trade, but it is pretty hard to find people to trade with anyway.

It depends on what you're trying to get for them of course, and how you're trying to do that. They're pretty easy to trade if you know what you're doing.

It's bad form to trade for Fortix, or buy it for yourself. The correct acquisition method is to win it on Steamgifts.

Anyone who ever wanted The Ship has it now, since a gazillion keys were given away not so long ago. Worse still, these copies, once released into the wild, bred like rabbits, and many people still have a heap in their inventories that they can't get rid of. Perhaps one day someone will discover a virtual strain of myxomatosis and, with a little human intervention, the natural balance will be restored.

Bad Rats is criminally appalling, and nobody with the slightest sense of decency would be seen in posession of it, let alone advertising their ownership or interest in a trading forum. If there was any justice, a Fatwa would long since have been issued against the developers, and Interpol would be making it their number one priority to bring these lowlife, sociopathic scoundrels to justice. Even mentioning the prospect of trading this game is like owning up to having a signed New Kids on the Block LP, or (worse still) wanting to get hold of one. Admitting ownership, or a wish to acquire it (even to yourself) will have grave implications for your sanity and maybe even your immortal soul.

I think it's time you heard the story of the Fortivity.

An angel descended unto Gaben and said "Hark, you shall be visited by three spirits..."
"Argh!" replied Gaben, for he had a great fear of the number 3.
"Whoops, sorry, that was Dickens. You shall beget Steam - a DRM platform for videogames blessed by the Lord, and he shall bestow upon you a virgin birth. You are to place unto Steam this child, for he shall be the saviour, and you shall name him 'Fortix' for the Lord hath decided it."
"So, I'm pregnant, not fat?" Gaben asked the Angel.
"No...No, you are quite fat."

Later, Gaben and his wife Josephine rode their way to Bethlehem for some reason. Of course, the horse was kitted out in the finest armour, gained via the holy DLC.

"Hark!" Cried an angel to a lowly shepherd in a field. "I bring tidings of great joy. For a game, born of a virgin, hath come from the lord to be the saviour of all gamekind. He shall be named 'Fortix' and he shall be King of Steam."
The shepherd, one CG, heard the cry of the angel. "But I am a mere shepherd, what do I know of the Lord and his will?"
"You are to be a King too, CG."
"You know that's not my real name, right?"
"Well, yeah, sure but I didn't do enough research to try to find out your real name. I'm an angel not a private investigator. Jeez..."
"Okay...Sorry to interrupt, carry on."
"You are to rule the land of Steamgifts. Here, you shall spread the teachings of Fortix to the world and live in a utopia where there are free games for everyone."
"But what about leechers!?"
"Oh yeah...Sorry, God is imperfect and buggered up your culture a bit and made you learn greed and stuff...Shit...I didn't mean that did I? What's the official line? Oh yeah, some chick ate some fruit because a snake told her to. But, Fortix shall teach tolerance of leechers, and regardless, you shall be loved and respected by all."
"Fair enough, seems legit. I'm up for it."

Gaben gave birth to Fortix in a manger created in Farming Simulator, surrounded by computer generated farm animals. Later, 3 wise men followed Sonic and Sega All Stars in the sky to the manger and made gifts of Skyrim, DOTA2 and Myrrh.

Better add a tl;dr - Fortix is Jesus.

Incidentally, the recently discovered Dead Island Scrolls indicate there were actually 4 wise men who came to visit the baby Fortix, but one was written out of the story some time later after his copy of Bioshock 2 was found to be a re-gift.

Don't forget to say your gamer's prayers!

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom(s of Amalur) come (on sale please),
thy will be done.
On our computers as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily points allowance.
And forgive our leeching
as we forgive those who leech against us.
And lead us not into shitty games,
but deliver us from Bad Rats.
Gaben.

The Ship had a huge extra copy event, which at the time at least made it basically worthless (though its a pretty fun game). Dunno about Bad Rats. Fortix costs a buck. Who wants to trade that?

Because this games are so awesome, that not many people around can handle them in their inventory. There are stories of people, whose Steam account collapsed and they themselves got mad after they got giftable Fortix copy. Only the brave and skilled trader can go this road and survive.

Fortix is superceded by Fortix 2 except in tradition, where you're supposed to win or give away Fortix, not trade for it. It's also the quintessential "cheap game" (despite being pretty decent), which is how the tradition got started in the first place.

The Ship is everywhere. A large number of copies were given away, it appeared in a bundle, and then it bred, giving extra gift copies to anyone with it in their account. If you try to give it away you might struggle to find someone who doesn't already have it, and it's still in giveaways all over the place.

Bad Rats is not regarded as being particularly good. I haven't played it so I can't offer a personal opinion.

bad rats and the ship have both been in bundles. fortix has not, as far as i know, but fortix 2 has.

i've played both the ship and fortix and liked them both. from what i've read about bad rats it sounds terrible and possibly offensive.

The Ship because a while back buying it would give you an extra copy, but those copies would also give extra copies, and then it was featured in a bundle. All those combined means there's a huge pool of the game, making it virtually worthless. Also, despite being a pretty descent game it's basically dead.

Bad Rats is probably one of the worst games on steam, and is generally only gifted as a joke, much to my dismay.

Fortix is what, a dollar?
