^^ This. If you give Fortix, you do not care about CV

Because many people don't like giving away bundle games, even if they have them leftover :P

Look I honestly am not that passionate about it, but please don't call this petition "reason". If you were listening to reason then you also wouldn't include several other bundled games on the list (my current go to example is skyward collapse, $5 game in a $5.80 bundle).

I know it has meme status therefore a special place in people's minds here, and if you want to exclude it based on those grounds then sure, it's not gonna hurt me any. But at least call a spade a spade.

To me, I'd think the meme would much be better served by adding to a $0 contributer value category. Such that no one ever gets value for giving it away, ensuring it's only given away for the satisfaction of it, making it the one truly pure giveaway.

BUNDLE IT. The fun part about Fortix was that it was decent and cheap and a fun thing to giveaway and win. Now that it will be totally commoditized, the fun and challenge of winning it will be gone. Time to find a new game to idolize in ridiculous fashion.

thank you! :)

I think that, the most important reason to keep fortix off bundle list, is because it is only 1 USD.

Let's say most of the case the non bundle game giving out on steamgift, it was some where between 50-75% sale off. Which if fortix got sale off, it should be around 0.25 USD, which is still reasonable for anyone using as a normal gifting and contribution value.

a 20 USD CV coming from a steam title usually at 75% sale off. Reaching 20 USD CV using Fortix require 20 USD pure. While normal way only 75% of that ammount. Even with Fortix in a bundle, it is pretty much the same how normal steam title sale off.

Wii U

Agreed.

I approve of the idea that at least some games be taken off the bundle list because they were not heavily discounted or it has been a long time since they were in a bundle.

This.

If you are, then this.
If not, screw your joke. It ain't funny.

Fortix is special. It shall not be in the list.

The bundle list is to prevent abuse of the cv system not just to list every game that's ever been in a bundle.

No, the reason for the bundle list is to prevent CV abuse. In this case, it's not possible to abuse it with Fortix.

OMG you guys, Fortix 3 confirmed!!!!11

Reason? its all about following rules or "fuck rules"

Unfortunately, most games in bundles aren't bought when they don't have sales and are on the bundle list. So screw people not being able to get Fortix just cause it's been bundled, is that what you're trying to do?

Yes 100% agree.
However.. most people select their games based on CV. And Fortix normally is a good choice for those without alot of $$ but still want to giveback ..
My fear is once its on BL, that trend will stop for this game. As it has with so many before it.

But I do agree with you about the Indieroyales.

Why did that event became so huge? Because:
1) It was somewhat a tradition here in SG
2) The community trusted the devs that it won't be bundled
3) It was cheap and it was not bundled

Next event won't see that amount of giveaways if this was indeed bundled

i agree with you with Towns but aztaka was in a indie Game Stand and Bob* i dont have tracked sales so i can't really comment about it

I didn't know towns was bundled, I guess that explains why I never saw any giveaways for it =/
It should be removed from the bundle list for sure.

The whole point of the bundle list is to prevent CV abuse. In the case of Skyward Collapse it's not possible to abuse it since the most you can make out of it is $6. ($5 for Fortix, and $1 for the rest). The bundle costs $6.

What about:
1) Skyward Collapse $5 for $5.80 Humble Bundle BTA, so most you can make is $6
2) DLC Quest $3, minimum $4 for Indie Royale, most you can make is $3.60 (actually less than the bundle price)

All I'm really looking for is that people be honest with themselves. You care because it's Fortix, not because of some ideals about preventing CV abuse (unless you've stood up for those games before, if so, sorry, carry on then).

Are you kidding? It's not even as much as a 20% discount on Steam sale would give you.

And if it's stopped, there will be no more future for Fortix. I refuse to let it go on the list cause that's like a death warrant.

I considered it a troll cause it is not a joke, considering this is a serious discussion.

You don't know you medieval well enough. It was just a strange coalition of words that require many eths.

I won't cry, cause you'll be the one paying for all the Fortix along with jatan11t.

But the point of the bundle list is to prevent CV abuse, which cannot be done in this case.

It's an inside joke among forum users. The majority of sg users don't even look at the forums..

No one buys it to boost their value, but probably no one will give it if it's on the list. Keeping it off the list will ensure that it can always be given away freely so as to keep the staple alive.
