hehe got the same thing.

It's automatic + steam could be hinting at a gift purchase. I don't see the reason to get mad here really.

01:11 - Archi: what is so weird
01:11 - Archi: you own both games already
01:11 - Archi: would you like to instead see armageddon
01:11 - Archi: - WHY I DIDN'T GET A COUPON WHEN OWNING BOTH GAMES ALREADY AND HE GOT ONE

And Valve has nothing to do with this, coupons like those are handed out by devs or publishers in their own deals, any publisher can generate extra -90% off coupon for his game for every single Steam user. If you want RNG then craft badges.

I really can't understand what is so weird in giving beholder coupon to TWoM owners and TWoM coupon for beholder owners. I also can't understand what is so weird in receiving both when owning both games. The only thing I'm facepalming about is this thread.

Your own side note clearly shows that you fulfil valve's/publisher's intentions even without understanding them.

No facepalms need to be made.
Maybe they don't have the means to check if the user owns both games so they don't give him/her anything. I mean what were they going to give you, an ingame item? (this games doesn't have those)
And I wasn't going to be happy for getting nothing for owning both games.

Same here.

If anyone want's those coupons, just let me know...

Could I get one? I'd love to get that game (Especially for free lol) and since those should stack...

I got the 50% off TWOM coupon for having Beholder. But I don't own beholder.

This whole thing is weird.

Well if you yes you reading this want my coupons, just let me know.

Free coupons here, just send a trade request and I'll accept.

Yup. Got the same thing here. Maybe they assume you want to buy the games to gift to someone the moment you purchase them?

How about this for a Valve algorithm fail:

I have 200 hours in Pinball FX2.

When I went to put Pinball FX3 on my wishlist, I noticed Valve's "Is this game relevant to you?" section. Which said:

"This doesn't look like anything you have played before, so we don't know if you'll like it or not."

Now that is some outstanding programming!

EDIT: I also got both 50% off coupons, and I also own both games. If anyone wants one (or both) of the coupons, just friend me on Steam.

I got both coupons and already own both games. Plus, hasn't there been a better discount for both games already?

Got the same two coupons this morning while already owning both games.

Oh, I got one aswell!

if (Own(Game_X)) Give_Coupon_For_Owning (Game_X);

Wow, such complicated "algorithm"!
(Looks fine to me considering you own both.)

You have to look at this from the other side. You have an user who has only one of the games and gets the coupon for the other game. And a user with both games wouldn't get anything from the developers as he has "no use" for them. There would certainly people who would be angry about this decision. After all they have these games but are getting less than people only owning one of the games. So giving the coupons to all owners might annoy some but giving the coupons to only owners of one of the games might anger some. As a developer which option would you choose?
