Hello,

I just bought a 4 pack of a game that I have and want to give them away to the Steam Group.
How does the gift sending work for that ?
Does it send 1 code to each email address I would enter ?
I just want to make sure I don't send all 4 to same person....lol

If you buy a 4pack, you get the game into your own account. Then you can gift 3 of it, copy by copy.

You cannot buy a 4pack if you already own the game afaik.

the games cannot be sent individually unless you activate one of the games. If you already own the game you won't be able to gift each game separately.

If you bought the 4pack as gift, you only can giveaway the whole 4Pack I think.

This is to hinder people to get many licenses for cheap.

Why oh why would anyone actually want to buy a 4pack and gift it whole to another person? It just doesn't make sense, it's like I'm living in a different reality, a separate NO LOGIC ALLOWED plane of existence

Well, considering the purpose of the 4 packs, I'm sure they're designed to be sent 1 by 1. How weird would it be if you bought a 4 pack and had to use one copy, send the other 3 to the second person, they use a copy and send the remaining 2 to a third person, they use one and finally send the last one to a fourth person.

Edit: Reading the other posts, I realized that I forgot to mention that this of course applies to people who plan to use one of the copies of the game.

Well if you buy it for yourself you will get a copy of the game and then 3 to give away like talked about above... but if you buy a 4 Pack to gift out you will only be able to give out the 4 pack as a whole so the person who gets it has 3 extra copies to give out to their friends.

Hope that makes sense and helps you out!
