Thx for a respond, it was also my guess (but I am not sure if it is a case). No, he can not manual synchronism, as he can not login due to value. I hope it is about synchronization, but if it so I wander how long he would need to wait before next synchronization.

Time for automatic snyc varies, but it's usually within three days.

RU stands for "region-locked to Russia (and included countries). It has no effect on whether a game is bundled or not. If the game is on the bundle list, it is so for all regions. Check http://www.steamgifts.com/bundle-games to see if the game has been included in the list.
[Edit: Checking the background on this game.]

The problem here lies in the way Bethesda handled region locks. For games like Dishonored, Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, etc - they added separate region-locked AppIDs to the database, basically creating separate "versions" of the games. This makes those versions "invisible" to SteamGifts. When calculating account value, SteamGifts only counts the games that are present in the US Steam Store. Unfortunately, "Dishonored RHCP (RU) GOTY" does not appear in the US Steam Store, so it cannot be seen by SG.

To add I also bought Skyrim and Dishonored without polish (i did not know about different versions) and was very disappointed. My brother knew (on my mistake) that to but polish one should buy in steam store and now it looks like it has also some drawbacks (he did not know that it will be RU version).

A somewhat related question/suggestion:
There are currently 4613 games that are considered to be bundled.
My brother has played 2515 hours on just a few games.
His account value is too low to be able to register on this website, because of the bundled games not counting.
With so many games being bundled, it's getting harder and harder to actually reach 100 dollar on non bundled games.
Maybe it's time to change the rule that bundled games don't count for registration, or maybe count then for 15%, just like at give aways .
Or is there also another way for him to register here?

Hi,
I am not sure if it is a bug or not but here is a case of my brother who wants to enter steamgifts:
He is trying to register but his account was a little too low value (something like 5$ missed). First he added some games (but mostly from bundles) and he did not know about bundled games exclusion (and of course his account value did not increased). Today he bought on steam store "dishonored" (as he is from Poland he automatically bought version with polish language, but this version is called RU on the end of game name) which as far as I know is not on bundle list, but again his account value did not changed? Why? And can you give info how exactly account value is calculated and why my brothers account value did not increased?
Best regards,
Geralt
