Hmm. Steam usually tries to stop that from happening. Or it did with me. Unless you bought it elsewhere.

I have a few games that I bought on Steam sales thinking I might give them a go at some point. I know that Steam won't sell you the same game twice unless you want to buy it as a gift.

It does, I was going, 'eh? Why can I only buy this as a gift?.....ahhh...nooo!!'

I find solace thinking that I bought it in another sale, I've not checked.

can't you gift it?

maybe to me!

I've been financially-challenged for years, so the "problem" of buying games I am not desperate to play right away has never really cropped up. There are games I would like to try that I'm only going to consider when they are on sale really cheap.
