Plus use your better judgement before the rage and check http://isthereanydeal.com/ or install enhanced steam to check bundled or not. But those won't show russian discounts counted as bundles.

No but there's only one person responsible for the Bundle list.

It's pretty easy to tell if a game will end up on the Bundle list:
Price in any region (normally Russia) < 5 % ROW price -> Bundle list
You can see the prices worldwide by using Enhanced Steam.

It's not like it was in SGv1 where you would see what game was bundled while creating your giveaway. Now you have to check the bundled list in order to find out
EDIT: Seems you figured out yourself :D

I probably understood you wrong but there in no * anymore that indicates a game was bundled when creating a GA in SG2.

I had edited my comment before you commented

it's been updated today, yesterday and day before that and 2 days before that ;p So I'd hardly call it "in months" ;p
On SGTools you can always see latest additions to the list ;p http://www.sgtools.info/lastbundled

As I mentioned above you can tell if a game is going to be bundled even if it's not on the Bundle list yet:
FORCED: Slightly Better Edition:
Price US: 14,99 $
lowest regional price (Russia): 0,72 $
0,72 : 14,99 x 100 = 4,8 (which means the game cost only 4,8 % of US price in Russia)
4,8 % equals 95,2 % discount on US price and everything over 95 % ends up on the Bundle list.
In general that means:
lowest regional price : US price * 100 and if the result is lower than 5 it goes on the list
Voilà no more surprises ;)

you got one thing wrong - you compare game to EUR price while you should compare it it US price ;)

Thanks for clearing that up. Edited with correct prices and updated calculation :D

also you can tell exactly the difference using google ;) see my post below: http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/njMPxyW :>
generally in many cases it may not make a difference, but there are some extreme examples. For example this bundle http://store.steampowered.com/sub/26075/ costs 75 EUR in EU but only 30 USD in US. So by your definition if it would drop price in any region below 3.75EUR it should go to bundle list. but it would not, because 3.75EUR is only 85.7% off US price.

Not ROW price, US price. EU is also (mostly) ROW, but games here are usually more expensive, since on Steam $1=€1.

as suggested before - you may want to guess if the game may be bundled yourself before it goes to bundle list, I will jst try to be more detailed about it if I may ;)
I cannot see on your profile what country you're from. If you're from US it's even easier for you, but just in case let's say you're not and go more detailed route this way. There's an addon called Enhanced Steam - it has many great functionalities, one of which is prices of the game in different regions. For example prices for the game you gave away are as such: http://i.imgur.com/fNC0pQi.png . You look at the lowest price - in this case (and almost all cases) it's RU/CIS store - game costs 44.85RUB. Now using Google you may find out that it is 0.72USD. Knowing the base US price is 15$ you will know that the game is discounted 95.2% from US price, which is more than 95% ;) Any game discounted by more than 95% of US price may go into bundle list, so just avoid them ;p

The one who adds games on the bundle list is one person who does it on his free time. You can't expect him to know every single game that is discounted or bundled.

If it is so easy why cant you find out yourself if it was bundled/had low price before?
Its a very time-consuming task on keeping it up to date and I think everyone should be able to check a game before making a ga.

Are you want to volunteer as a bundle list maintainer?

Can admin please keep bundle list up to date. Did a giveaway yesterday 85% off coz the game wasnt in the bundle list, checked it three times, then it was listed now with a bundled date way back to june. that feeling wasnt all that great, a complete up to date bundle list would be appreciated, not sudden pop up in the list after months or even year, thank you. Now i think giving those craps in the bundles are a lot more better.
