So, I own a game I didn't buy?

[TiJ]

So, I was going through my games and I noticed that I owned "Life is Strange" and I had somehow owned it since the 21st of last month. I can't seem to figure out why I own it, or how it got there. I went through my E-Mail to see if one of my brothers had for some reason purchased it, but I couldn't find anything about it. Meaning I was probably never charged for said game.

I also couldn't find anything telling me that the game was a gift to me? Is there any way to check other than E-Mail? I've never had this problem(And I'm dumb), so I have no idea where to look for where my purchases are on steam.

What's it say here as its Acquisition Method?:

I see you do infact own the game:

All five episodes, steam store. And above it, it has "Steam - Complimentary".

Steam - Complimentary is normal; you can ignore it.

So it says Steam Store <- This means it was bought on your account.

Since you couldn't find an e-mail about it, how about this:
What refund options do you see if you go here?:

'It's not what I expected > I'd like to request a refund'.

You don't have to actually go with it, just see the options you see as payment methods. Any mention of a card ending with XX digits for example? Do they match yours?

i thought Complimentary meant you somehow got the game for free??
i've never seen Complimentary on a game i paid for, anyway...?

He meant it's next to Steam. :)

Yeah, it has the last two digits of my card. Looks like I bought it.

Interesting, is your card info stored on your account? Anyone else who could've used it if not you?

OHHh!! i get it heheheh...! thanks, i didn't understand how it was worded

Only other person would be my brother. But it honestly did seem like his type of game, him being one of those "Battlefield/Call Of Duty" people.

Well, the sure way is to ask.

If all else fails, refund it and scan your computer. (Although, I'd imagine if some outsider got on your account, they wouldn't have bought it on YOUR account too.)

Alright, thanks for the help dude.
