Cannot Purchase Bundle

[Xiel Bladze]

Normally when there's a bundle, I can purchase the parts of it I don't already own (so the part I do get subtracted from the price). in this case I only own the first game with none of the DLC, but it won't let me buy the bundle to get all the DLC and Little Nightmares 2.

Kinda odd, why isn't it just subtracting "Little Nightmares" from the bundle for me like all the other bundles?

I've talked with people about bundles for this game before. The publisher (Bandai Namco) decided not to make them available later, unfortunately. I'm sure it has something to do with a lot of people getting the first game for free but it still affects those of us who paid for it. I got a separate bundle together with DLCs when I got the second game, myself (much later).

See here and here for more info.

Funny enough, if its worth it to remove a fame from your library to get a bundle, that may still be possible.

I had to do that recently to get a “deluxe” version of a game. And it did work.

If you keep reading that thread I linked, you can see the person I was talking with said they tried asking Steam support, and they were told Steam's system would still remember the game was in their history and that it wouldn't work (because of the publisher's settings, presumably). If it worked for another game, and you're sure it's not because of there being a different publisher (or indie dev) that didn't put the same restriction on their bundles, then you could gamble seeing if it would work, though. Personally I wouldn't try it though.

ngl, I posted this here hopping the devs/publisher would see it and maybe they'd rethink those settings.

Long shot. but hey, that's what bargain shoppin be like. Things are too expensive these days, makes it hard to afford games anymore..

Removing a game from a library in order to buy a bundle, sounds like a major oversight Valve needs to work on.

You can't buy it even if you remove the game.
