Not sure if you're aware or care, but it will probably go on the bundle list even though hasn't been in a bundle. Any game that is sold for greater than 95% off vs. the US base price in any part of the world can be added to that list. With the game usually retailing at $9.99 that means that if it's available for less than $0.4995 (might as well call it 50 cents) then it's at risk. The game is currently the equivalent of $0.38 in the Russian Steam store and $0.45 in the Chinese one.
If you don't care or already knew then nevermind. Either way, thanks for making the giveaway!

yeah that would be a shame. It's currently at 90% off in the UK. How do you know what it is at in the other countries?

Steamdb - https://steamdb.info/app/418360/ (scroll down a bit)
We can see that the US price is currently $0.99 and it's 90% off. From that we can deduce that the base price in the US is $9.99. For ease of use, divide $9.99 by 20 and anything less than the answer would be more than 95% off against that US base price.
Steamprices also has a feature where you can compare the different regions - https://www.steamprices.com/uk/

Wouldn't that mean that all games at 90% off would then be classed in this way due to the exchange rate?

For some reason, there are some that have been 90% that still haven't been bundled. Usually the soundtrack (or Deluxe) editions. For example, I bought Always Sometimes Monsters Soundtrack Edtion when it was 90% off, and it has still not been bundled.

hmm it would be nice if there was a definite rule either way rather than having to just hope for the best! Oh well, guess I'll see what happens

yeah, i was going to buy that game to giveaway, and got scared because of that, SG is not too clear about that, they could add next week the game and make it retroactively bundled as far as i know

Yes, pretty much. It does depend on the exact price point the publisher decided to set in regions like Russia and China but mostly when a game is 90% off it does fall into this category. When the Russian Ruble lost value value, a lot of games that went to just 85% off also went on the bundle list in the same way. The first two Witcher games would be examples of this.
None of this is guranteed to result in a bundling here on SG btw. It is at the discretion of the bundler and can be based on whether or not many people made giveaways for the game(s) that fall into this category.

Yeah, at this point, the only safe threshold for USD prices is 80% off. Anything more than that, and it risks being bundled.

Your Level is 4.17, so even if it drops retroactively to a bundled game, you won't lose a level at least. I gave a copy of the game away today as well, and am prepared for the "bundle axe" to fall soon.
Oh well. At least it still counts as a giveaway either way.:)
Here is a bump for you. Have a wonderful day.:)

Now it's on the bundle list. I also made a giveaway of this game and now it was retroactively bundled.

So far almost everything I have given away have been just bundle leftovers. That has got me to level 4 which is cool. But I thought it was about time I started doing some unbundled GAs, so here is the first one: (note they will always be equivalent to my level)
