Well, That was a $2 Steam Mistake...I bought Wargame: Air Land Battle in the $21.99 package with Wargame European Escalation. I already had Wargame European Escalation in my Steam Library, I was purchasing the package to give the extra copy to my cousin in the Philippines, so I can multiplayer with him. But I bought the package as a ?Purchase for Myself? type purchase, and when Steam notified me I wouldn't get the extra copy of Wargame European Escalation with my package purchase I couldn't cancel it. So I bought it and more than 4 days later I don't have the extra copy popup in my Steam Gifts Library. I thought Steam would later popup the copy in my Gifts Library like it did when I got Universe Sandbox. Anyone know how I can get the copy from Steam? Do I contact support and make a complaint? Have any of you ever gone through such a similar occurrence?
So I guess if this situation happens to you ? you buy a game package with one game you already have ? buy the entire package as a gift. Then gift the games you don't have into your library, and gift the games you want to give away as gifts.
But I've never gifted a game. How does this work? I bought the entire Company of Heroes 1 collection for my cousin for $7.49... I'm looking forward to multiplayer him with this.

At least it was only a few $$$ live and learn, you might be able to get a refund if you did complain though.

I've never gifted on Steam before, but I can imagine if you bought it it should be there for you to send. I hope you get it worked out though so you guys spend some time together. It is rough having family far away especially when you try to do things to spend time with them and have it backfire on you.

But speaking about my own experiences of extra copy and gifting, your case seem a bit different from mine. In my case, I pre-ordered Portal 2 (boy, this was a while ago) and it came with and bonus copy of Portal, but I already have Portal so I received the copy as a gift that can be later gifted (I still have this owner-less copy of Portal) and when you gift, you select the "purchase as gift" or something like that option then you wait a few hours ~ days, an e-mail will appear in the person receiving the gift's e-mail and he all have to click on accept gift then he gets the gift
lol, I gifted stuff to my brother quite often, so I am saying all this from my experiences.
Hope this helps.
