I bought Trine 2 on a sale before it came into a bundle and when I wanted to check if the key from the bundle I bought was really for Trine 2 (before trading it away) it actually activated.
I also got Interstellar Marines when it was about 15 eur in the store. The trailer said that the price would only go up, but it went on sales quite often and now it's in a 1$ bundle. Not to mention the game only had online deathmatch when I got it (many months ago) and it's still in that stage.

They've been working on this game since 2005 at least (Interstellar Marine), I don't think it'll come anytime soon.
Their community manager mentioned somewhere a couple of days ago that getting it to a finished state will take at least another two-three years.

And? If it stopped at that, that's pretty normal.

That's not too bad. At least it stays tied to your account, you'll be able to play it some day!

Long time ago, when I was a newbie on steam, bought an XCOM collection to give away here, I tried to activate it to check if the key is correct, I was thinking I would get a message asking me if I was sure I wanted to activate it. Instead, I activated all games in the collection, on a throwaway account I don't even use.
Felt so bad that I bought another copy of the collection to giveaway here to make myself feel better lol.
Edit: Oh and Pre-ordered Aliens: Colonial Marines for $45 :cry:

did this before too, would love a "you sure you wanna activate this" button.
also... why would you even think about pre-ordering Aliens: Colonial Marines xD

Well it's good to know I'm not the only one to have done this or other silly things. It's making me feel better about my mistake. We can all be morons together. :p
Keep 'em coming.

hm.. stupidest thing i've done on Steam:
I had 2 gift copies of Portal 2 in my inventory, and some random guy added me and said i'd get Steam Wallet money if i gave them to him. I did, and he unfriended / blocked me, without another word.
this happened maybe 2 years ago, and i felt really stupid.. and sad.

nah.. not full price. I'd picked them up during a sale for $5 each. he was offering like $15 for both. (at the time, i didn't know steam wallet couldn't be traded)

there is an alternative though ask for items selling at same price in community market then sell the items for steam wallet :)

I traded 2 hats in TF2, which were only 1 in the game. (Untradeable,Uncraftable). It cost a lot,but i sold them for a 3 keys or smth like that. Anyway, i am not crying about this, cuz i got a lot of exp from that moment and also i beleive if you lost smth, you will find something!

Bought games on sale and had never played them, and then they got bundled.
I'm so stupid that I keep making the same mistake over and over again...

This. All the time. Sometimes they end up in a bundle less than a month later. :(

I'm sure we've all done this, just new to steam & PC gaming & already have done this twice, first was The Ship while a bundle with the ship was on at the same time but wasn't aware of the whole bundle thing & second was Guacamelee! Gold Edition & Soundtrack which I thought what was the chance of it getting bundled again any time soon them bam the next week or two later. Still waiting for the rest of my computer components to arrive so can start playing some games on steam =D

You unfriended me and blocked me for no reason! I often ring at your lobby, and you do not answer, but I know you are home because I can see your lights on from my place! Look, I have now lost half a pound, and I got a job that will pay $1,546 a day just by browsing the Internet -- I know because it was written on this Internet ad. So, find me at Steam chat tonight?

Buying Gmod 3 times (1 for me ,2 for my friends) at full price ($30 total) and then seeing them on sale for $2.50 each and finding out later I can always trade to get stuff cheaper, But oh well the games fun.

I never bought Skyrim... :/ Sadly, I will never do so, since I won't live for so long... Well, we all have dreams which will never be achieved...
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry if that's insensitive, but why won't you live for long?
I played Morrowind, and didn't finish it. It was worth it (I still plan on finishing it, but who knows?). So, regardless, if you like the game, play it even if you won't finish it. It has some nice side quests. :)

some guy added me for free games i had about 75 gifts in my inventory at this time,
i told him i cant give him free stuff, after he bugged me for more than 20 minutes i told him that in reality im a steam support member and i will give him a few free games when he gives me his account information ... he didnt give it to me, instead i became banned on steam :D after contacting support they unblocked me without telling me what i have done wrong. but im 99,9% sure its this incident
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, impersonating a Valve employee and asking someone for their account details would do it. If they unbanned you, count yourself lucky. They were no obligation at all to do that, regardless of your intent. ;)

I bought quite a few DLC for 2 games that I thought I had keys for, since the DLC were on sale and thought I should get them. I later realised I didn't have the base games (gave them away but forgot).
I still have the DLC for one of those, by the way, since the game has been removed from the store >.<

You may be able to trade those DLCs to "collectors", as they can't be purchased anymore.

not usually having any money to buy anything on steam, i havent done anything foolish yet, thouh if i ever do get the money i plan on buying certain games i know my pc cant run if i see them on sale, or even cheap games i may or may not want, simply cause they are on sale

Just did mine today.
Bought the Rockstar Bundle on Green Man Gaming this morning, already owning some of the titles. I then proceeded to activate the keys for the games I didn't own and was left with some spares. Rather than copy/pasting my newly spare keys straight into into the file I keep them in, I decided to check them first.
I often try keys for stuff I already own, looking for the "Product already owned message" just so I can see that the keys sent were for the correct games. Well, I'll not be doing that any more! Already owned Max Payne 3 and you can imagine my surprise when my Max Payne 3 key actually activated.
Turns out I had a Max Payne 3 (ROW) on my account and this new key was for Max Payne 3 (WW). Whilst I knew there were different regions, I didn't know you could actually activate 2 keys of the same game from different regions on the same account. Total waste of a key. Lol, what an idiot.
So what's the dumbest thing everyone else has done? Anyone else been as stupid as me?
