    By this point, I'm pretty sure everybody here has a copy of this game.
    I don't think a ELBPZ year has gone by that I /haven't/ had a copy of
    "Dear Esther" on offer. What IYBA9 can I say, it's just one of those
    games that shows up in bundles... in /a lot/ of HQX06 bundles. So if
    you already have this, I'm sorry. If you don't, take the game so I can
    stop offering it. Think of it as a c.s.i.p.g.a shibboleth; if you have
    this game in your library, we'll know you belong here ;-)

    Yeah, I have this one already.

    The llamas are singing again. Then again, the llamas are *always*
    singing. But they tend to sing louder during the Christmas holiday
    season. Have you ever heard a llama sing? It's... unpleasant.

    Today, their shrill carols speak of another game to give-away.

    Oh God, the llamas are trying to sing "Bohemian Rhapsody". Serves me
    right forgiving them that Queen CD. I'd better put a stop to it before
    the neighbors complain. Until tomorrow.

    Ho-ha-hee-ho-hee-ha-ho!

    "Dear Esther: Landmark Edition is already in your Steam library". I
    don't remember how I got it too. Where was it from?

    Probably some llama snuck it into your account.

    It's in EVERYBODY'S Steam library. That's the problem.

    I don't remember how I got it too. Where was it from?

    It was a freebie back in February this year. You may have picked it up
    then.

    (if you're /really/ interested, go into the Steam client, click on
    your username in the upper right corner, select 'account details',
    then 'view licenses and product key activations' and search that list
    for "Dear Esther". It'll show the date you added the game to your
    Steam library)

    (Interesting; TIL that you could use that screen to remove
    complimentary - e.g., free - games from your library. Not games you
    paid for, though; those you gotta keep forever. I guess that's part of
    the price you pay for... um... paying the price).
