Do you have any games you've bought multiple times? I'm not talking about the "It's been bundled twice so I have a Desura and a Steam version" or even a "I have a DRM free and a Steam version from a bundle" here. I'm talking about games that you've explicitly purchased more than once.
Crazy enough, my top one is Torchlight. I've got 4 different versions of Torchlight.
I loved the demo when they first released it, so I bought it from the Runic website. I didn't use windows at the time, and was having a devil of time with the sound in WINE. I played half the game with no sound, then I read somewhere that the Steam version worked better in WINE than the Runic version, so I bought it on sale one day (incidentally, it was my first Steam purchase). Then there was the Humble Bundle with a Linux version, so that was an insta-buy. And then, GOG offered it for free at one point, which isn't really a buy, but I acquired it too.
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, and Icewind Dale have all been purchased three times. I have the original CD's, a GOG version, and the Enhanced Editions of all three of those.
I have Planescape Torment, Thief: The Dark Project and Deus Ex on CD and on GOG.
I have Age of Empires II on CD and the HD version on Steam.
GTA3 I have twice on CD, once by itself, and once as part of a pack that included Vice City and San Andreas as well.
What games have liked enough to purchase more than once?
