So, I've only been here a few days, and really enjoy the give-and-take community. I've given about a dozen games in give aways so far, and enjoyed doing so, but since they were all bundle games they only give 15% of the "cost" in experience points, right? I saw the Lego bundle, which looks really cool, and noticed that some people were saying it might not be considered "Bundled" since it's still fairly expensive by bundle standards, but I didn't see any definitive answers.

My question is basically: If I buy the bundle, and donate Lego Jurassic World, will I get a full $40 worth of "level experience" here? I would end up playing Lego Marvel and Lego Batman 3, and definitely won't need a 3rd game so donation is a serious possibility. I know that they retroactively reduce experience costs sometimes, and want to avoid donating it if it'll end up giving a tiny amount of XP when the actual game would be worth playing or trading. Is there a list of all of the games that give reduced experience, or just a general spreadsheet or list saying "This game gives this amount"? I want to be nice and donate, but being efficient is nice too.

I believe not, you won't get the $40 value. Probably because it's an automated system(if that's correct) that finds whether a game is included in a bundle using availalbe databases from different known bundle sites(Humble Bundle, IndieGala, Groupeess...etc).

Logically, it is included in a bundle, therefore iti s bundled, but as people said, the price is still high so it might not be considered bundled price-wise. (For example Tom Clancy's The Division has been in a bundle twice in Humble Bundle but not considered a bundle game because its tier price was higher than the game's price itself).

I think Jurassic park at least should get bundled: $3.33 for a $40 game is 92% off

95% is the "will get bundled" discount though...

Not to mention you have to take 2 cheaper games, since JP is the most expensive thing there. If you divy it up based on pecentage, it's way under a 90% discount, but an "even" split doesn't reach 95%.

I hope it doesn't get bundled then, I'm just waiting a bit and if it looks like it's clear I'll buy the bundle and donate Jurassic Park.

2 x Jurassic Park + Lego Batman 3 = $39.99 *2 + $29.99 = $109.97
$10 for the bundle is 90.9% off 90.090661% if you want to go into more digits

Are you allowed to get 2 copies of 1 game? I thought it was 3 separate titles. It would make a decent difference since JP is by far the most expensive.

I don't know if it's allowed, but it's certainly possible

You sure? I thought the cutoff was 90%.

Not entirely but that's what I've mostly read from other people's comments on newbie bundle info threads... shrug

95% just means it's guaranteed to get bundled.
Theshobo has the final say, though.

I believe it's 95%...steam store sales of 90% and even 85% get bundled because of regional prices, but sites like bundlestars and humble generally aren't affected by region.

95% has been mentioned in the past, but like others have said, regional prices means it can be hit lower. But then it is Shobo's choice.

I can confirm, that games with 90% discount make it on the bundled list.

(Gave away Chivalry&Witcher games last summer sale, and 6 months later they all got bundled retroactively and I went from level 3 to 1.)

I doubt that Shobo will calculate it as that.

There is no package that includes two Jurassic Park and Lego Batman 3 so this calculation is irrelevant.

Oh, I thought you were talking about steam because I was.

You can buy in bundle stars yes, but what I said is that there is no package that includes those games in Steam.

Why would you be talking about steam when the sale is on Bundle Stars?

Because Steamgifts is based on steam games. You can't create one giveaway for two copies of Lego Jurassic Park and one copy of Lego Batman 3. If you could do that, then it can be considered to be in bundle list or not.

The games on BundleStars are Steam games.
You can buy one bundle with two copies of Jurassic Park and one copy of Lego Batman 3, then create 3 giveaways for those games.

A game is added to the bundle list if the game is available anywhere in the world, from any website, for a price that is 90%-95% less than the full retail price on steam.

I know.

But you can't buy one Jurassic Park for $3.33 (If we simply say three Jurassic Park for $10.). You have to pay at least $10 for even one single game. So the price is $10, not the one that is divided into the number of games included.

But the price is for 3 games, not one. that's how bundles work.

Alternatively, proportionally, the jurassic park games are $3.64 each, and the Batman game $2.73. That's still more than 90% off.

Not sure you can get 2 of one title in the same bundle. I wanted to get me, and my girlfriend a copy of Lego marvel super heroes, and after I select one, the only option for it after that was deselect. I didn't see any way to get 2 copies of one game in the same bundle.

...or 3x Jurassic World for $10?

Personally, I don't see how you can select Jurassic World more than once. The site won't let me select any game more than once for that bundle.

My understanding is that you can't get more than 2 copies of the same game.
But, as I haven't tried it, I don't know for sure.
