Does anyone else look at a game, only to discover that they already own it and forgot?

Closed

With the bundles increasing exponentially, both in frequency and variety, I can't keep track of my library anymore. I'll see DLC for a game and have to check on Steam to see whether I even own the base game or not. It just happened a moment ago with Stellar Impact (no clue where that came from), and its happened a few times in the past week as well. Does this happen to anyone else?

Looked at the new Bundle Stars bundle, thought SpaceChem looked cool, only to realize I already own it. :P

That problem comes up whenever a new bundle appears. I was really determined to get Post Mortem for a while, and even though I've since won it from galagiveaways, I still feel like I need to try and win it anyways.

Happened to me with Quantum Conundrum: picked it in a sale then forgot about it 'till the next sale, when I wanted to buy it and... surprise, I already had it. ^^
I started sorting the games in a better way right after that. :D

I do it quite a lot. Forget I buy stuff sometimes and then see a sale only to find out I already own it.

Happened to me once, but it was between the steam store and a retail CD, but I can't remember what game was xD
