4-packs on Steam

Hey guys,

I already own NS2 (Naturally) however I was hoping to buy a 4 pack to split amongst some friends. When I add it to my steam basket it greys out both purchase options. It seems to work fine if I purchase a single copy, the 4 pack however does not. Is this normal or is it somehow caused by me already owning the game?

Thanks in advance!

Robbie

    It's typical for steam 4-packs to only be available for purchase if you don't already own a copy of the game. So it's most likely (this is only anecdotal) caused by you already owning a copy.

    I'd recommend another of your friends (that doesnt own NS2 already) purchase the 4-pack and then hand them out instead of you for the best possible price per unit for your group.

    A sneaky solution could allso be that you make another steamaccount, and then gift your real account all the copies.
    Otherwise, contact steamsupport, i think they might be able to help :)
