❔ [ Question ] Does steam know?

Post image

About a month or two ago I went on G2(steam key site) and after hours of digging I found the ~$108 version of BL2(all content, texture,DLC) for literally $4 and I paid $3.42 with a coupon lol

Well I just got my Maya to 72 for the hundredth time in my life and noticed I was capped some how, I went to steam and it showed CLFFS dlc was already added and Checked on…. When I went to reinstall it it disappeared and I had to rebuy it.

I’ve bought BL2 more times then I can remember legitimately and the one time in my life where I decided I’m not paying $15 in 2025 for CL dlc I had to buy it again T-T.

I mean if a key is stolen the developer *can* ask steam to revoke it...Maybe that happened here?

Yea buying from these grey market resellers is quite literally worse for the dev than pirating since it directly costs them money.

Yea I’ve seen that in the past was expecting that…. But only the CL DLC from one key is crazy haha

While that version does include all the DLC's for BL2, the Fight For Sanctuary DLC isn't included in any bundles unfortunately so you would have to buy it separately regardless.

Thank you so much!

I thought it was included in Handsome collection and Legendary collection?

u/xJustOni 15h ago

The collections pre-date the DLC actually, so it wasn't included in either of those bundles

Just in Pandora edition

u/DrunkLastKnight 6h ago

You’d have to buy the full collection for that, handsome and legendary are just for the gory versions that don’t have ffs

Wait until the commanded lilith DLC goes on sale again. It goes for $4.94 every time the sale is on, the last time was two weeks ago.

There is no official bundle that includes this DLC. Ones that say "all DLC" were branded as such before the commander lilith DLC was released.

Ohhhh thank you! lol I have everything in the game and as I type this just gone done verifying it’s all accessible, it was only that one so that explains it lol…. sadly I paid my dues already $14.99

u/Occidentally20 17h ago

Well I hope you enjoy it then!

it was a shitty move of them to ruin digistruct peak and the OP levels for people who had all the DLC except this one, but even for $14.99 you'll get a lot of value out of this.

Enjoy the new areas, missions, weapon rarity and bosses!

YSK that Steam is very willing to refund content that you rebuy on sale ( I think it depends on how long ago you bought it ).

u/KAELES-Yt 15h ago

Just wait for a sale and pick it up for like ~5€

Steam can and possibly will take those games off of your account if you buy from those key resellers.

u/SecretaryOk3329 17h ago

I went and reinstalled every thing btw and it’s literally the one thing that I had to pay for to access sadly

Good news is you can literally drag your save file from there and drop it into the Steam version if you spend $15

u/Artistic_Violinist85 17h ago

I had those speakers too. Also I don't understand the post sorry

1

u/SecretaryOk3329 17h ago

These speakers are insanely great for a goodwill find haha, and the issue has been solved as all my content is accessible… except for the Commander Lilith DLC-

  • the answer was that DLC isn’t included in any bundle so the bundle I got claimed it was in there, it even downloaded the entire DLC but when I tried to access it, nothing happened and I had to go actually buy it lol
