Buyer's Remorse

so you believed an article about mystery bundle from a purveyor of mystery bundles?
Sucker.

Here's a way to look at it. I buy 90 games worth $0.25 each, for $22.50. I buy 7 games worth $1 for $7. I buy 2 games worth $10 each, and one game for $40. I've spent a total of $89.50 for 100 games. I sell 100 $1 mystery bundles, and make $10.50 profit. Yeah, one customer posts all over social media about the $40 game, and the two $10 games also stand out. Even the people 'winning' the $1 game aren't really complaining. But the other 90 people.... they regret it

Haha! Yeah fair play to them, they know how to spin good BS. XD

Are Mystery Bundles full of stock we want to get rid of?
No way! When a Mystery Bundle starts out in life, it is carefully curated by our expert team who only use the best handpicked titles that are bespoke to each bundle recipe. Our ‘Bundle Gurus’ rise at 4am to do yoga and meditate on the lawn. Then sing historical Tibeten hymns lovingly to each Mystery Bundle, before it is sent out into the world for your enjoyment - much like the same grapes can be used to make different and unique fine wines, as can some games for bundles.

Hmm, very convincing, indeed...

Sorry for your experience. Just want to add that what you read is not an article, it's an advertisement put out by the same company that's selling the mystery bundles. Of course they're going to paint themselves in the best light, and claim that it's not gambling.

Logic dictates that if a 3 key mystery bundle is selling for $3, the average game much be worth less than $1 for them to make a profit. If some of those mystery games cost $60, then the average game must be worth much less than $1, and you'll need a ton of <$1 games for each $60 AAA title.

Unfortunately you can expect the seller to be honest about their merchandise. Fanatical stating that their own mystery bundles are bullcrap would have been surprising.

Not even all that much cv to harvest lol. Games are generally bundled or previously free with low retail prices. But you know what they say about one mans trash

I am happy to share, but yeah, it's too bad that there's not even much CV to be have.

Sadly, not something I would play or add to my library. I'm not really into straight puzzle games. I'll probably make a giveaway sometime down the line of it.

Yeah, sadly when I was unemployed for many years, I sunk to working as a salesman of sorts. And when I did that I lost a lot of trust from my friends. Plus being a PC gamer sort of carries the stigma here that you're a loner, who plays online games. Same goes with people who watch anime or read manga. I have my outer-image as someone who really cares about his health, but people are always surprised when they hear that I play PC games like it's an unhealthy hobby. Yeah 5% was not worth it and neither was that mystery key.

I'm sure you'll ran out of coins sooner or later :D

Not bad! At least you got something!

If you ever start a game that's confusing at first, enough to make you quit, consider watching some beginner tutorials when you have free time. You don't need to commit to playing the game after that - you'll retain the information you've learned anyways, then you'll be able to use that information later when you feel like giving it another try.

i have the same issue. i guess what matters is to have fun playing what you do play from your backlog. which in my case usually is some indie puzzler/ platformer instead of an overdue high profile stuff.
