A humblebundle question

[Azuwi]

If you purchased a humblebundle order as a gift, and you get the link in your email, if you click it yourself, and already has it the bundle (by yourself), would you then have 2 bundles of that order for yourself?

and the little present icon next to the code, (the gift code) can you then gift only the specific games to others? (not the whole bundle)

And what happens if you already have the game, and then gift it as a code to yourself, or you redeem it to yourself again, will you then get it in your inventory on steam? (the game)

Buying it as a gift just sends the purchase to someone else's Email.

Gifting it with the little gift icon will do the same thing, just with that one item instead of the whole bundle.

Items that contain multiple products will not give you extra copies if you already own one of them. They will simply disappear.

Oh i see.

Well then I will use the little gift icon next to the game.

Actually, I've received a humblebundle gift or two through steamgifts. Getting a gift does not add the game to your humble library; it seems the single-game page sort of stays "afloat".

I don't know how it works if you gift an entire bundle.

You can, however, buy multiple copies of a bundle. They will appear that many times on your humble library. You cannot, however, get multiple copies of a game into Steam. Humble just registers keys for you, and you cannot register keys as gifts on Steam, unfortunately.

Actually, that's not QUITE right -- they won't just disappear. You just won't be able to redeem those items in the bundle (it will give you an error that your account owns it). You can then gift those items via a humble bundle gift link (they don't go to your Steam inventory).

It's like the page as if you'd bought it yourself, except only with that one thing that was gifted.

If multiple games are bundled into the same key (or activation button, as they do now), then yes things you already own will just disappear. If each game has its own activation, then it would block you from activating something you already own.

For example, if I click the button to activate Game 1, 2 and 3 onto my account, and I already own Game 1, I would get 2 and 3 but no extra copy of 1.

I solved it.

I redeemed the gift bundle myself,
and then I gifted one game in the bundle to a friend.

I still have the extra games to be redeemed or gifted, and I already bought another bundle for myself which I redeemed some games from. (not all)

I made my friend happy, I made myself a good deal and I have extra copies. ^^
