Buying a Steam "Collection"

[Robba Fett]

I want to buy the Amanita collection, it includes Machinarium, Machinarium Soundtrack, Samarost2, Botanicula.
I want to keep Machinarium for myself and give the rest to a friend who already has Machinarium.
Will I get individual keys for each game or one key that activates the entire bundle?

you won't get seperate keys since it's a pack.

Ah that really blows :(

steam only hands spare copies on a few occasions sadly :(

but the general rule on steam is "a pack is a pack, already own some? too bad, no seperate copies for you!"

Damn :( What would happen to the copy of Machinarium included in the pack if the person who redeeemed the pack already owned that game?

nothing will happen to it, as you already have it it will simply get nullified in the pack.

I guess I could just get the individual games, it'll cost the same without the soundtrack... But the soundtrack is awesome :( !
