lolz with Steam

[Aegis]

So it turns out that the new Steam client has an entertaining bug in it on some computers. If you buy a gift for a friend that just happens to be DLC for a game that they:

• don't own
• will never buy

Steam keeps bothering them to accept the gift poor Chips...

what did you gift him, Blade Kitten?

Yes you arsehole. I'm still getting it every time I log in. Or at random. Or if I look at steam the wrong way.

oh yours too?

Happy - I got him some of the DLC for Europa Universallis III, and Jay I believe is being haunted by the Nippon DLC for Magicka

hmm.. time to resend Lenko his Maw DLC

Make crap game with "free" DLC pack.
Gift DLC to everyone with a steam account.
Profit from people buying crap game to stop getting bugged about the DLC.


Hope an EA exec doesn't see this.

Click "Ignore this gift" does nothing. "Ask me again later" does nothing but make it more annoying.

Don't worry Lars, my MAW DLC has been bugging me for the last four days.

Hence my post on your facebook wall.

STOP ANNOYING ME WITH KINDNESS.
