How to buy complete Isaac for a friend?

[Daerker]

Yeah, the title pretty much sums it all up already. I wanted to buy the whole Isaac Bundle for a friend of mine for his birthday preemtively while it's on sale, but I can't. I'm only allowed to put Rebirth and Afterbirth in my shopping cart, everything else is grayed out, both the "complete" bundle when I go to either DLCs after AB as well as the buy option for purchasing everything seperately.
Shops like GoG, Kinguin etc also don't offer any real options after AB. What can I do?

edit: I meant that GOG doesn't have it on sale like Steam does, other shops don't offer anything after AB at all besides whole Steam-Accounts 😅

The only way is to send your friend money.

Both "Afterbirth+ Bundle" and "Rebirth Complete Bundle" are "Complete the Set" bundles, which cannot be gifted. This is limitation imposed by Steam.

Nicalis used these bundles for one specific reason - to not let customers get the DLCs separately. Each DLCs depends on previous ones, and thus if say a customer buys Rebirth and Repentance only, they get non-functioning product.

Last note - do not buy Isaac on GOG or EGS. From what I heard, both releases lack modloader functionality, both have broken Daily Challenges, and both don't have the latest patch (V1.7.9b)
