So Nice I Bought It Twice

[Nefaro]

Which PC games are so good, you've purchased it more than once?


After having done so for a very few games, I realized this is a pretty good indicator of classics which stand the test of time (since the digital download evolution happened).

[Gusington]

Off the top of my head, the Thief games & Medieval 2 Total War.

[JudgeDredd]

Red Devils Over Arnhem
Cod:Modern Warfare
Mafia

[chemkid]

Operation Star by Graviteam!

[Nefaro]

I think many of these were due to getting all-DLC-inclusive digital versions of my older physical copies, or getting a digital version with less annoying DRM or update system.


Medieval 2 Total War

Knights Of The Old Republic I & II

Kerbal Space Program

AI War 

Civ IV

Icewind Dale II

Jagged Alliance 2

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate

Star Wars Rebellion

Neverwinter Nights 2

Temple Of Elemental Evil

Great Battles Collection

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

Divine Divinity

Freedom Force


That list ended up being longer than I thought.  :o



Edit:

Dragon Age: Origins

[Oche]

Steel Panthers I & II

Civilization II Multiplayer Gold

Star Wars Rebellion

Sid Meier's Pirates 1987 Original

Railroad Tycoon I & II

Silent Hunter I

Fighting Steel

Jane's F-15

Operation Star by Graviteam!

+1. Once it came out on Steam, the idea of having the Steam client automatically update and deal with all the add-ons was too tempting to pass up. Esp. on sale   ;)

[Sir Slash]

Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale as well as the Gold Box series from GOG.

[Hartford688]

Operation Star by Graviteam!

+1. Once it came out on Steam, the idea of having the Steam client automatically update and deal with all the add-ons was too tempting to pass up. Esp. on sale   ;)

+2, exactly this.

Also:

Baldur's Gate 2 (three times! and I still have never progressed far...)
Dragon Age: Origins - DLC stopped working on Steam, had to buy again on Origin (annoying)
KOTOR
Star Wars: Empires at War
Medieval Total War
Medieval Total War 2
Silent Hunter 4

And at Christmas, my big prezzie may be Steel Beasts Pro:PE - trust me, buying that twice makes your eyes water...

[Bardolph]

Dominions 3 (x3 First at Shrapnel, then Gamersgate, then Steam)
Quake 2
Morrowind
Combat Mission Beyond Overlord
Operation Flashpoint/Cold War Assault
ARMA
Age of Empires 2
Company of Heroes (and I'm not that big a fan but I bought the Steam version)
TacOps 4
Red Baron 3d

Most of the above were second (or third) copies to replace games I had given to friends to try. Some were just to get the Steam version.

[Tuna]

Civ IV 3 times
Medieval TW 2 2 times
Blitzkrieg 2 times
Graviteam Tactics (pre-mius) 2 times
East Front, West Front, Rising Sun - Buying JT's Campaign Series makes that equal 2 times right ;-)
