I went to purchase the Game of the year edition of Borderlands 2, while already owning just the Borderlands 2 game. Normally and always on steam when a package includes the game you already own, it simply removes it form the package and you can purchase the rest at package price. This does not seem to work with this package.
The Borderlands 2 Game of the Year Edition includes an awesome assemblage of extras for aspiring Vault Hunters out there. Here's a list.
I was wondering why this was? And if this could be fixed? Purchasing any other package with the game in it, works just fine, except the game of the year package.Normally I would just purchase it or the DLCs by themselves, but this adds an extra $54 to the price of the DLCs, considering they are only $20 total in the package. The whole game of the year edition is $40 in total including DLCs and I wouldn't even get another copy of Borderlands 2 from purchasing the game of the year package. When there is a big sale, the GOTY is under $10.00 USD. I don't know why they don't do the same as some others, I noted the the GOTY for Project Cars would remove the price of the parts I have.
I would say talk to Valve/Steam though it may be 2K. I wonder if other 2K published games are the same as Borderlands 2, if so then likely a 2K policy?In the end you have choices, get the GOTY, get the content separately (cut your nose off to spite your face) or do without it. The package is how it is and non have managed to effect change it it thus far. Originally posted by:When there is a big sale, the GOTY is under $10.00 USD.
