Talk:Upgrade to Premium Gift

Old Premium Upgrade System

Did this item remove the old Premium Upgrade System? Old system: "Buy anything from store, get premium". Huwarf 03:31, 22 November 2012 (PST)

No, but this is an option for it. You either receive this from someone, or you buy something from store in order to get premium account. -Asplode 04:38, 22 November 2012 (PST)

Useless?

This is kind of useless, because you can get premium for under $1 and this costs way more than that. For Valve, this doesn't matter because they get the exact same amount of money (For Gaben's cheezburgers, obviously) no matter if the player buys this or a Bonk. This is obviously because the minimum amount of money you can add to your Steam wallet is $5 so they get it anyway. Gongratulations, Valve, for making another great way to get money. (Use it on Ep3 or it's not worth it. I love Valve's games but still this is no good.)

tl; dr: Too expensive when compared to the normal premium system. Neg 05:13, 22 November 2012 (PST)

Please note that this item is giftable, which means that if you won't/can't upgrade your account by yourself, some of your friends can do it for you. With original system this was impossible. -Asplode 05:24, 22 November 2012 (PST)

I totally understand that this might be a good thing for people that can't add Steam money for some reason. Also could be a nice gift for your friends, let's say TF2 + this for example. Still I think the price should be lowered at least a bit. Neg 05:28, 22 November 2012 (PST)

Gift Badge?

Does giving a UtPG upgrade your gift-giving badge?
