Hmm, taking the presale gamble. Thanks for the possible games chart sensualshakti. :)
Also bump for 40 minutes of presale left!

The insanity! You're a wild-man, Reforced. A wild-man!
(If it's a good bundle, don't rub it in ;_; )

Haha :) I was missing nine and the three unbundled ones are in the top tier. Don't know what makes it a good bundle for you, but I'm happy. ^^

Well, the only one I wanted (the crappy looking zombie shooter) didn't make it into the bundle, so I'm saved! \o/
I have strange taste in games. :X
Glad you found some goodies,. though. :3

more seriously, I've checked those Libredia titles and I'm sorry to say, I don't think there's a single game I'd like to play. This is not for me, I'm afraid.

Why in the world would Libredia not provide Steam keys for games it already has on Steam? ie. Hotel
I mean, it doesn't cost them anything to generate keys for it, so this is a mystery which eludes me completely.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes that's correct : )
But the question is...why did they not just include that one instead.
I was thinking perhaps it may have to do with possible licensing costs associated with the additional tracks included in that release. It would be the most plausible reason I think. But this is speculation on my part entirely.
Comment has been collapsed.
Licensing costs seems unlikely to me. If that were the case they would probably have the base version on Steam as well
Comment has been collapsed.
They may be willing to pay such costs on Steam whenever they sell the full Collectors Edition release for non-bundled pricing though. But within a bundle, it could very well be cost-prohibitive. That was my thinking here. I just can't think of any other reason tbh.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe. I would be interested in knowing the reasoning behind this. I wonder why they don't have the base version on Steam also since that's more common in my experience
Comment has been collapsed.
Hotel Collectors Edition have been bundled before, I got it from Bundle Stars - Intense Bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd be an okay bundle if I pre-ordered, but here is just nope. Also why isn't it the Steam Hotel collector edition?
Comment has been collapsed.
LMAO at your chart, Lilly!!!! :D
I was looking for "maybe," but instead found myself reading deep meaning into every poll choice.
I still love it that you make these charts after being treated rather RUDELY for asking people who make the threads to make a half-way decent chart.

With preorders, LuxPollz™ delivers a "hints?!" rather than a "maybe" choice. Would the addition of a maybe help your quality of service experience?
Feedback's always 'ppreciated, collarkitten :3

Well, making charts is definitely something I enjoy a lot, it's actually one of my favorite and most relaxing activities. If I could, I would create more bundle threads, but since I don't have access to Steam / Steamgifts from work, I am unable to do so. When I get back from work, late in the evening, all threads are already nicely created by our veterans :)
The chart itself does not take much time; however, constantly updating the thread and reading all the replies requires a bit of time investment. On the other hand, this is exactly the thing I like the most about these threads: the amazing support from the community - people are eager to help, either by posting extra information about hints / prices etc, but also suggestions for improving the thread or correcting possible mistakes.
A thread has only one name up there as the owner, but in reality, a thread is always the result of the combined effort of the whole SG community. The thread starter can make it something like a Wikipedia article, synthesizing all the information within into the OP.
Maybe to some people might think that I started to do these threads in spite of certain users that previously created incomplete threads - let them speak, there will always be someone to say rude things about me, it's something I cannot change no matter what I do. I started to do these threads because I wanted to give back to this amazing community and dedicate and involve myself as much as they deserve.
Thank you for your encouragement and kind words!

Wow-- thank you for the reply and the nice long explanation! It's so nice that you do these to "give back" when I think getting lots of replies or "glory" is the main motivation for some others.

The offered version of Chernobyl: Terrorist Attack is only DRM-free (so the announcement of 13 Steam, 2 DRM free fits again).
And btw. thanks for the thread, sensualshakti!
Comment has been collapsed.
Oooooh well spotted! I updated the chart accordingly.
Comment has been collapsed.
If Chernobyl is DRM-free only, then you should probably remove the line for it in the Steam section of the chart and leave it by itself in the DRM-free section, the same way you did for Hotel.
Comment has been collapsed.
I updated the chart according to your suggestion. My idea was initially to place the DRM free games in their corresponding tiers, but now I combined them into a new table and added an column for the tier. Hopefully this is more clear :)
Comment has been collapsed.
OK, but what I meant is, right now, looking at the chart, it looks like you get a Steam key and a DRM-free copy of Chernobyl: Terrorist Attack. Is that true? Do you get both? If not, if Chernobyl: Terrorist Attack is DRM-free only, then it should be separated out from the main tier 1 chart. That was what I meant. The way you had it before was fine, you just needed to remove Chernobyl: Terrorist Attack from being connected with the Steam games (it should be by itself in it's own DRM-free section under Tier 1). Understand?
Anyway, none of this is a big deal. Thank you for making the charts. You're doing probably the best job of anyone. Thank you, again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ahhh I see what you mean now, not removing the game from the Steam chart was a mistake from my part. I updated the chart again, hopefully it's ok now :)
Your suggestions are always welcome, thanks for fixing the thread! Considering how many mistakes I made with this one, I certainly need to improve my attention :D Thank you for your kind words, though, I aspire to give the best of me when creating these threads.

I have a coin I could use, but not going to use it on this. There were two potentials I have on wishlist, but neither are in this so quite easy decision.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is useful :) Just check Usercritics not a single game with positive Reviews, best one has a Userscore of 72%. Never seen a bundle before with absolute nothing good in it for a while. Sad but true: Once Groupees was the greatest Challenger to Humble Bundle, now they become the worst Bundleseller I know. This Bundle is a pretty good example why.
Comment has been collapsed.
(you replied to the person who assembled the bundle)
Comment has been collapsed.
Great, maybe he read my words and they gonna Change something for the future, instead of selling some Prebundle Packs and don´t deliver much. Once Groupees was my favourite Bundleseller, but I got the Feeling they don´t give much for the Quality anymore. I hope they will get back on the track soon
Comment has been collapsed.
One of the major problems with Groupees is they rely heavily on curators that aren't part of the main staff to make bundles for them. Sometimes it works out great, there have been some good ones recently that were curated by 6er, Remute, and Miller's new bundle hasn't gone live yet but looks promising. Other times we have absolute crap like this bundle. Seems that we don't get many game bundles made by Jonny these days, and hardly any Be Mines. They've nearly given up at this point so they need to rely on the community to curate bundles for them.

Just as an fyi - and this isn't meant for any negativity.
I work directly with publishers and independent devs. If something isn't to your standard or you don't like it. Personally, that's all well and good. To each their own. I try to personally make my bundles to target a specific audience or to work with Publishers who are positive contacts of my own. As you can see from my curation history; I do not build purely for 1 specific audience. I try to push for a wider range of individuals who may not get media bundled "as regularly" as some other content.
For reference:

https://groupees.com/watson2
https://groupees.com/libredia2017
Hope this helps you see where my targets lie. On top of that I work a full time job and attend grad school - so curating is purely something I do to aid both the greater gaming community as well as to develop stronger ties to individuals within the industry.

Watson.

Thank you. I appreciate when curators are active in discussions here, and elsewhere outside of Groupees chat.

Have none but I still strongly believe that I dodged a bullet. xD

You're probably right. Some of them tempted me but I already own five of the final bundle and should probably put my money down on better quality games instead :P

What's up with such a price? 100% watsoned confirmed.

I got 6 new games to play at my leisure so it wasn't as bad a bundle like I initially thought. ^^
