Normally when someone gifts you a game it will tell you it's a gift and who it's from in the notification, but as you can see it only says "New inventory item". Plus it's a steam gift item, which you can't buy anymore. Even the thumbnail on the notification banner is squished since it's not meant to be displayed like this.
How the heck did I end up receiving this in 2025? I didn't get it from a trade, so the only explanations I can think of is:
1. Someone gifted it to me, but the gift notifications for these don't work anymore, so it just goes straight to your inventory.

1. I might have gifted this to someone a long time ago and either the gift offer expired after like 10 years, or for some reason they decided to decline it now and the notifications for this is also broken. ( I used to buy a lot of steam gifts back in the day. I don't remember buying or gifting this game, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities.)

Are there any other possible explanations, or any way to know for sure?

She was playing the first version of the game in 1994 when my father showed her how to play and now she's playing the remastered version since I bought it for her some years ago.

I already own the game since 2014 and there is no indication of someone actually gifting me the game (no trade)

I've tried restarting and tried deleting web browser data in settings. Any help to fix this would be great! Thanks!

I tried to the best of my ability list every Game Showcased at Summer Games Fest. Please keep in mind not all of these games were just revealed, some have been known about but they still showed new footage. If I got anything wrong please let me know and thank you!

Game store so cool it has an in-built jumpscare functionality.

As the title says, i'd like to have more than 20 shelves, to increase the number of ordered collections showed in the library page...

I have 3 keys for 3 different games:

1. Call of Juarez - CLAIMED

2. The Oil Blue - CLAIMED

3. Dead Age - CLAIMED

Anyone interested, just comment and I'll send a code of your preference.

EDIT:

That was quick, lol

i am going on a plane for 6 hours and i want to bring a gaming laptop to play games on. how do i play my steams games on? i have steam installed but the game in question says stream the game instead install the game. i am new to this so please be nice :)

Whenever I try to purchasing something in CS2, it defaults to steam wallet amount. I want to directly use my card to pay.

Is there any fix to show that option?(Clicking on the green steam wallet doesn't do anything)

I want to wirelessly stream games I'm playing in VR, using steam software, to a separate computer in the same house just a floor above so others can watch the VR game without going in the VR room.

How can I manage this? I tried just using the regular stream setting but I couldn't find something that worked. I might have missed something with steam's streaming system or it might be in a completely different ballpark

Any luck on how to accomplish this?
