Steam will not let me buy Ultimate edition
I bought the standard edition months ago,.
Today, saw Ultimate Edition on sale. Good price.
Steam wouldn't let me buy the Ultimate because I already own the standard edition. (D'uh?)

Anyway, I saw suggestions in a couple of forums that said I could Completely Remove the Standard Edition from my account and then purchase the Ultimate Edition from steam.

So, I Completely Removed the Standard Edition.
Tried to buy Ultimate Edition.
Steam still wouldn't let me buy the Ultimate Edition.

I've tried to find a way to actually contact steam support but all attempts seem to send me round in ever clicking circles with no way of actually communicating with a human being.

Can anyone advise, please?

Same problem, just waiting if someone has a solution.

Thought of asking a friend to gift it to me and gifting/refunding him back

Would steam allow you to activate a gift Ultimate edition though?
A few words from a steam representative might be able to answer that question but trying to contact a human steam rep is next to impossible as far as I have found.

OP update;
Whilst these items are on sale,

the total separate cost of the DLC which seems to be included with Ultimate edition is £9.12.
The Ultimate edition including this DLC was going to cost £6.05
A difference of £3.07 if one already owns the original Standard edition.

Considering steam is probably going to be pedantic and unreasonable (I stand corrected if anyone else is later found to be successful in dealing with steam regards this issue) then for a difference of £3.07 it's not worth the hassle.

I've restored my Standard edition and purchased the DLC separately.

Now, for me, that £3 extra is really not a problem. I do however think it appears that steam policy is designed to fleece what they can by creating a captive market. It seems that way to me anyway.

Yeah 505 games that controls the sales does this kind of crap to few of it's games... I've seen the answer to what to do in such case switch around over the years a few times...

- What always seemed to work (but has it's own problems) is buying the Ultimate edition key somewhere else and shoving it steams throat - it has to accept it.
- According to steams own FAQ gifting should work... (seen it fail few years back, but now it might be ok)
- Another way is to make a ticket for support to remove base AC from your acc, and then buy Ultimate but that can be slow, and sometimes not possible.

There might be other ways too ...

Unredeemed gifts may be refunded within the standard 14-day/two-hour refund period. Redeemed gifts may be refunded under the same conditions if the gift recipient initiates the refund.
No harm in trying i think... (im curious now :htsmile:)

same here, tried to get rid of AC to buy the ultimate edition, said i already had AC so wouldn't let me buy UE. Had to reinstall AC and buy the DLC separately. Not the end of the world just a PITA

Probably create a new steam account, buy it there or buy it in your main account as a gift to your secondary account, then use family sharing to share your secondary account with your main one,if this dont allows you to play the whole game with dlcs in your main account cos steam use your own main license without dlcs instead the shared one, just log into the secondary one to play AC.

If you are too lazy to swap accounts, you can remove the game from the main account so this way steam gonna cant use your main license without dlcs ( cos you dont own any after removing it) and gonna use your shared ultimate version from your second account.

If anyone try this, please confirm how work for you, i cant cos i already have 2 AC licenses with all dlcs in both of my accounts ( i bough a long time ago for my old secondary pc to play with friends when they come home ).

Interesting thing about this way is you can share your second account with other friends when you are not playing AC.

Regards.

Opened a ticket to Steam- Support. Will see what they will answer.
I´m really NOT AMUSED of this strange and unfair move to owners of the expensive bought older copies.
For old owners the bundle should be more cheaper than for newcoming buyers.

The Steam-Support answered.
Not Steam, but the publisher decided that the owners can´t buy the Ultmate-Edition.

And that´s it for me, Never i will buy any DLCs for Assetto now again.
Spent much money before and cause this bad move of the publisher i don´t want support them in the future.

Buying each DLC separately should give you the same deal as the ultimate edition. In my experience with previous Steam games that's how that worked.

Thank you for sharing that response from steam support.

Whilst the difference in price between Ultimate edition and purchasing DLC to add to Standard edition is not huge (whilst the sale is on anyway), it does seem unfair on existing Standard edition owners.

Basing this on principals, It rather tars the publisher [505 Games?] of these limitations with a somewhat greedy image.

I'll be more wary of the source of my purchases in future.

It will cost much more, abd is it really a good deal for all whose supported that publisher before ?
