I just bought the Strategy Heroes Bundle from Bundle Stars. Basically I wanted 3 games from it and the rest will be given away.
Heroes of Annihilated Empires
HOARD Complete Pack
Frozen Synapse Prime

When I added the last one I got a steam gift as a bonus. It happened at the exact moment I added that key to my account. At first I thought perhaps its bad timing and I won it here as I was buying it. But No, I have not won it here. Normally if someone sends you a gift its an email and it says who its from. This was not an email. Just a notification that it was a new item. So I have "Frozen Synapse Prime" in my account and I have an extra copy as a steam gift.

Has anyone else bought this bundle?. Did you get the same free steam gift? It does not mention this anywhere in the Bundle that I can see.

This is the one I bought.
Strategy Heroes Bundle

No hidden GA. I will do GA's when I'm back from vacation. Leaving today.

Ah. Good to know. I was not aware of that. Nice bonus. I'll likely give it away then at some point. lol. I was holding off on buying this pack. I think I would have bought it faster if I had known. Still... Its a nice surprise.

A few games do this. As indicated on their store page, when buying a gift (same thing as redeeming), it says "Includes two copies of Frozen Synapse Prime - send the extra to a friend".

Same thing happened when I won it on SG before. The creator asked me to send back the extra copy so they could give it to the second winner as well.

And so it does. I've never noticed that. And I've watched the video a couple times to see If I wanted to buy it. Thanks. I will have to pay better attention to that part.

This is perfectly normal, happens all the time with Frozen Synapse Prime game key bought from bundles. The same happen with many other games ( depend on developer's decision/promotion), of course the gift appear at the same moment you redeem the key, I even surprised that you ask about it.

Frozen Synapse Prime and Frozen Cortex do indeed give a free steam gift upon game key activation.....there a few other games that do the same.
