Steam Bundle PollFollow

I voted "Something Else" but what I really mean is either the second or third options.

Said "Something Else" but it's pretty much the first one. If the cost of the 4 games as a bundle is less than buying them individually I still save money. So it's worth it anyway. That's exactly what I did with Dragon Age Ultimate Edition. Awakening was $20 alone and the DLC were like $7 each. So even though I already had Origins, I still "saved" a good amount by repurchasing it. I wanted to pay them but $40+ was too much for my tastes (especially since some of the DLC lasts only an hour or two).

No personal issues here. As some might remember (probably not), I went on a small binge this summer when Steam had its sale but I was starting from a point of owning Civ II and Doom so there weren't any conflicts. I didn't buy any of the big $80 bundles anyway, although I did get a few GOTY style editions (game+DLC+box expansions).

I did buy the Humble Bundle last time despite already owning Braid and some other game but, given the circumstances there, it'd be pretty weak to *****. And I did have the option there of downloading the .exe and doing whatever with it.

I posted the poll mainly because I've heard the topic come up elsewhere. I personally went with Option 1 but I'm not a serious purchaser so my opinion maybe be different from those of early adopters and launch-day buyers.

I voted 3, but either 2 or 3 or a choice of one of the 2 should be there.

The function is there but most publishers don't offer it. So I've heard; I haven't had need to try.

You can also make two Steam accounts and buy everything as a gift with Account A and give it all to Account B, which people say lets you then gift the already owned stuff to someone else. Of course, this workaround only helps if you have someone to gift it to but at least you're theoretically getting your full dollar's worth. If that mattered to you.

I voted 2, but I'd be fine with either 2 or 3. I don't like the way it works currently.. doesn't make sense.

I'm changing my answer to this.
