Do you guys buy steam version of a game if you already own it on a different platform?

yes i i did this with deus ex

I did that with Dead Space I got it for free on Origin, but since I only own 2 or so games on Origin I don't see the need to install it.

Full price - no. But if a game I own elsewhere goes into a bundle or gets a nice and heavy discount - yeah, for the sake of comfort of having all games in one place, adding +1 to collection or getting bonus functionalities, like cards, achivs, cloud support etc.

No, why would I pay twice for the same piece of software?

I try to avoid it

I don't even enter giveaways for games that I already have on another platform (such as Origin, uPlay, GOG, etc.), because I wouldn't want to deny someone else the chance to win a game that I already own. :P

I own most of my games on multiple platforms, CD/DVD, Steam, Origin. All depends on price, but rebuying hardcopies on download platform is a simple choice of price vs. degraded CD/DVD quality. Discs although not as bad as floppy discs, tend to lose their silver layer, which causes data dropping and means the game is useless.

I only have 2 shelves left of hard copies, some because they're not available, some because they're still too expensive, some because I like the box or have them as a collector's ed.

I have copies of Final Fantasy 7 outside Steam, but I did buy on Steam for the sake of getting Steam copy of that game.

I like to own games on steam so i can have a backup copy of it.

Y NY ? xD

Well I like having all my games in one place...if you want to have it on steam I don't see why not. Voted yes (if you find a nice offer, since you already own it).

Maybe on sale but it's a waste of money no matter what. You already have the game.

Yes, i did it.

Had it on GOG, bought it again on HB for steam.

Dont know if a part of the profit from the game goes for donation, but i dont want to do it with every game.

only if it adds somethink I'm missing (goty, complete...)

no reason to buy it twice

Way too often. It definitely hurts the pocketbook after a while.

I have before and I'm considering it again for Fallout 3 if it reaches 75% off in the summer sale. Otherwise, I'll need to buy a molex to sata extension to be able to use my dvd drive for my retail copy.

Yes, but only if I have a specific reason for doing so (disc is getting scratched up, workshop, fix for an old game that I have trouble getting to run being included or if I can get the game + expansions/dlc for less than it would cost me to get the expansions from somewhere else).

If it is good enough that I would like to replay and review it, then yes. (Although since I usually only buy games I would play more than once, this pretty much encompasses most of my gaming library…)

Only on specials of 75% or above but yeah I own a few games both Retail and Steam. Just don't feel like messing with the discs next time I install, or I was missing the DLC, or it was part of a pack I wanted anyways.

I own Batman - Arkham Assylum 3 times. Standard base game retail, GOTY Retail and Steam GOTY.

Rarely, but I have. For instance, Knights of the Old Republic II, mainly because I want to try the restored content mod someday and that's only available on the PC version.

Usually no, but for special exceptions sometimes.

I didnt care before- and bought many games on origin+uplay because they were cheaper keys. But now when i find sales on steam- i buy the steam version and pretend I don't already own it (where both versions exist which is not very often nowadays)

accidentally only. and feel bad

Why would I? Valve gets too much already.
