So recently I just bought Payday 2. One day after I bought Payday 2 GOTY edition because I wanted the DLC. It told me in my purchase that I wouldn't receive an extra copy of Payday 2. But I would still be buying Payday 2. So I said ok and didn't remove Payday 2 from my cart. So now I have two copies but can't gift either. So I refunded the first (Non-GOTY) edition. The refund hasn't gone through yet but will I still have the GOTY of Payday I purchased? Or will I have to purchase Payday 2 again even though technically I own two copies.
Steam – Can I Refund a Duplicate Game Purchase?

This policy has just changed.
Now it's possible to ask for a refund within 14 days of purchase, provided you have played it for less than two hours.
You can request a refund for nearly any purchase on Steam—for any reason. Maybe your PC doesn't meet the hardware requirements; maybe you bought a game by mistake; maybe you played the title for an hour and just didn't like it.
It doesn't matter. Valve will, upon request via help.steampowered.com, issue a refund for any reason, if the request is made within fourteen days of purchase, and the title has been played for less than two hours. There are more details below, but even if you fall outside of the refund rules we’ve described, you can ask for a refund anyway and we’ll take a look.
You will be issued a full refund of your purchase within a week of approval. You will receive the refund in Steam Wallet funds or through the same payment method you used to make the purchase. If, for any reason, Steam is unable to issue a refund via your initial payment method, your Steam Wallet will be credited the full amount. (Some payment methods available through Steam in your country may not support refunding a purchase back to the original payment method. Click here for a full list.)
Yes, you can share your games with your family. Steam recently introduced Family Sharing, a system where a user can share his library with the rest of the family and others who use the same computer.
You simply need to enable Family Sharing on the computer you want to use:
- Log in with the account you want to play with
- Log in with the account that owns the game
- Go to settings > Family > Authorize This Computer...
- Authorize the borrowing account by checking the box under Authorized Accounts
Note that two users still cannot play the same copy at the same time.
Also note that not all games support this system, or have only partial support. For example, you cannot participate in CS:GO's competitive matchmaking while borrowing the game from another account. Most games with 3rd party DRM, such as Uplay, will cause issues and might not even show up on the list.
Best Answer
You'll keep your Payday 2.
The way steam works is a bit complicated. You don't buy games, you buy subs. You refunded the sub with only Payday 2 in it, but you still have the GOTY sub, and that has the base game in it too, so you should be ok.
