I just purchased this game

Okay nothing weird about buying a game.

What is weird is that now I have the Original Watch Dogs on my Steam account. I did not purchase it and yet it is now in my library. Any assistance would be gratefully received.

You purchased Watch Dogs: Legion Season Pass (either through Gold or through Ultimate edition). WDL Season Pass gave you Watch Dogs 1 Complete Edition. Have fun!

Thanks for your speedy reply. I didn't read the listing correctly by the looks of things.

I was already playing WD1 after a recent Gameranx video via my Uplay account. I wonder if I can gift or swap the key? Hmm.

Unfortunately, you can't gift it.

Cheers for your help. It is much appreciated. I will just let that sit in the bottom of my library next to games you either can't buy or I won't play. Would've been nice to gift it or something but I will just never activate it.

You should play it. Aiden Pierce's story is extremely well done and entertaining.

"And guess what? It's not the pizza guy!"

I already own the game on Uplay/UbiConnect and have done since launch. I pre-ordered both 1 and 2 so have the Aiden and Retro statuettes.

I completed it 10 years ago and I am currently playing through the game remembering how much fun I had. How much I liked Jordi. How and where people hide when they invade my game.

Pay no attention to my played hours on Steam. I cannot play my steam copy as I own the game already via Ubisoft.

Playing it now I realised something that makes 2 make more sense. It makes playing as Retro make more sense when you consider Watch_Dogs sets up the idea of Dedsec and 2 makes you play from Dedsec's P.O.V. instead of having Dedsec appealing to Aiden for assistance like 1 does.

I liked Aiden as a protagonist. He's kind of like a mix between Batman and Barbara Gordon's Oracle.

What I don't like is the lack of drive-by feature in 1.

But I am revisiting the series, in light of how technology has evolved since the game. Also, due to a Gameranx video speaking about how good 1 was.
