It could be used creatively, so I support the idea, it could be fun. Might have an issue with people already having parts of the bundle and trying to regift its parts on steamgifts, but then again, that's a problem that already exists with the current bundles available.

Would these follow regular giveaway rules or private/contributor giveaways? If the creator is able to request a reroll due to any of the games being owned from their bundle, then we've just created even more support tickets which is the opposite of what CG is trying to accomplish. If they didn't request a reroll then the used games would probably just be regifted. What if I made a bundle for 2 bundle games and 2 non bundle games, delivered the 2 non bundle and didn't deliver the 2 bundle games, do I get half my points or none of them?
Neat idea, but I think it would hurt the site more than anything at this time.

The simplest solution would be to not allow people with ANY items in the bundle to enter. That's not ideal, but it wouldn't be a bad option. Seccondly, I don't think bundle points would be a factor here. The system could still treat the bundle of games as individual games and apply the existing rules to each game. I don't see why this would be too different from doing two seperate giveaways and just linking them together. Points would be calculated seperately, but eligibility would be calculated together (do you own one of the games, are you in a group, have you met the number of contributor points, etc).

Original idea! I support it it the right mechanism is created :)

One of the better ideas. Allow users to use already available options like contributor totals/ groups/ etc and there isnt really any down side to this additional option.
While you do have the problem of dealing with potential regifters, other then that its a good idea.
One downside though, I could see people getting something like Borderlands GOTY and making a bundle with the base game + individual DLC packs in order to inflate the contributor total.
Point cost should follow already created rules, IE two games the cost 10 points alone would cost 20 combine.
An option to disallow users to enter if they own either or both of the games would be rather handy, limiting any "extra" tickets from being created. Already have a function to scan our libraries, this would just be an addition to that.
Example:
I make a giveaway for-
Skyrim
Sotmc
TF2
HL3
Warhammer Platinum
I mark Skyrim AND HL3 as games entrants can NOT already own. If they do then they cant enter.
OR I mark it as either/or so if they own either then they cant enter. As opposed to if they own both.

Pretty much this. Also another thing to consider: how would you be able to see what games are in it from the main page?

That would be fine by me. Since, for example, if you gift the Patricians and Merchants bundle, you already only get $9.99 credit but if you were to give them (at least two of the games) away separate, it'd be $14.98.

Interesting idea, but I personally dislike it. I can't say it's a bad idea necessarily, but I really dislike the possibility of a bundle containing CS:GO, Railworks, Fortix, Skyrim, and Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble. People would enter that for the games they wanted and then just be peeved that they also had to activate the others games just to follow the rules.
Summary of my problem with the idea: More games will be wasted on people who do not want them.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could if we could create our own giveaway bundles? I would love to pick 4 random games and roll them into one giveaway and give it away to one lucky winner. Outside of multi-game bundles, there's some other good uses for this functionality. One recent example would be if you could giveaway Seciton8:Prejudice and the content packs together since the inventory items from the buy four pack includes both the game and content pack. People who are giving away extra copies from that pack are not getting credit for the content packs.
Thoughts? Do you agree or disagree?
