Forget Assetto Corsa, buy Forza Horizon or NFS Heat.
Problem solved.

Maybe you can buy it as a gift for yourself. Would require setting up a second account or asking a friend.

Thanks for telling us this. I've never encountered a game that forced me to not get the bundle because I owned the game already, that's a terrible way to do business.

But...
Have you tried opening up a ticket to steam support? Do you think they can do anything to allow you to purchase the bundle? Seems like something that would be a mutual benefit to do.

Support can't do anything. The developer CHOSE to use that bundle that requires you to not own any of their games

Yes and no.

Tghe point is it's an all or nothing offer. No different to any other offer for anything in retail where it's only open to new users. You see this with magazine subscriptions, for example.

So sorry, but that's just a common thing.

If that's REALLY a change that Steam made, it's a HORRIBLE idea.

Things used to be very simple: you could get a key for a bundle with stuff that you already owned; it would just give you the new stuff and "discard" items that you already had (because Steam does not use multiple licenses in any way, like being able to family share the game to multiple people at the same time).

At times, that was a quite attractive offer because "full" packages were often cheaper than trying to individually purchase the items you were missing.

"Tailored bundles" had nothing to do with this; you can't get keys for these anyway.

Yeah but it ain't Steam is it? It's down to the publishers/IP owners.

Sure, it's a ♥♥♥♥ thing from our point of view. But it's no different to anywhere else in retail and has existed for decades.

The thing is, this is the first time I even hear about that option. There used to be one type of bundle key, and it gave you the stuff you didn't already have. Plain and simple.

The Steam-Store was the same -- there were no tailored bundles; you'd always pay the same price for the same bundle.

The 2 bundles have existed for at least 5+ years. Also your getting confused they have had tailored bundles for a LONG time, they are the ones where you get whatever games you don't own.

The OP is having an issue with a NON tailored bundle where you have to buy it all as one lump. Again though, the dev's CHOSE to create the bundle like that.

You could refund the game if its less than 2 hours or 2 weeks. But you don't get the game again with it. Because I bought the fallout new vegas bundle and had new vegas.

Well it's not the first I have. I first heard it on here several years ago.
