Question about buying the game.

[LittleLeksBlue]

I love the game.  At least, I did the three times I got to play it before buying it.

Now I've bought it.  And it won't let me play.  It sez I have to buy it still.

Would anyone know what is going on?  I'm at an absolute loss here.  I'd certainly love to hear an explanation, one way or the other.

Have you tried checking the instructions on the troubleshooting page?  There are instructions there.

You should double-check to make sure you've received an invoice in your email verifying your payment for the game. Steam seems to like not charging people and not giving them the games they think they bought. If you didn't receive an invoice, you didn't actually pay for anything and you didn't actually buy the game.
If you did get an invoice, then you'll have to contact steam support, as that's a problem on steam's end and we can't really help you any more

Had the exact same problem.  Try re-starting steam.

when i had this problem (i don't know if subsequent updates have made this not an option) i had to delete the "ClientRegistry.blob" file, and then i had to restart Steam.  it worked perfectly fine after that.
the file should be somewhere like this:
C/Program Files/Steam/ClientRegistry.blob

EDIT:
oh, and, i did check this.  it is still there.
don't worry, restarting steam makes a new version of the file, it does not delete all your games or anything like that (although i would have thought it would).

'NOTHER EDIT:
this information came from a thread that was created recently when i bought this (i.e. a month ago) so i'm not exactly sure where it is now

Yah I've seen and it's my experience that any time your "My Games" list is messed up in Steam, say some games are missing and some want you to buy them again, it's the "ClientRegistry.blob" file, and you just delete it, like the person before me stated.
