Another contrib-system-bundle-changing idea.

There's a lot of these threads, so I'll try to keep it brief.

Usually there's two tiers of games when a indie bundle sale appears. The $1 ones, and the beat-the-average ones. The notable exception is Indie Royale, and maybe something else, I don't remember. With the contributor system and the bundle list this leads to situations where a $5 Indie Royale containing 3-4 Steam redeemable games gets considered bundled, but an Amazon pack which has 5 Steam games and costs the same, does not (not, in my humble opinion should it).

Let's take a look on how the sales affect the number of games contributed, with a couple of examples:

$1 games:

• Darksiders from HIB, 1644 giveaways made on peak day (27.03.)
• Party of Sin from Groupees, 230 giveaways made on peak day (13.02.)

On the other hand we have their BTA counterparts (~$7 and $5 respectively)

• Darksiders 2 from HIb, 149 giveaways made on peak day (27.03.)
• Planets under Attack, from Groupees, 126 giveaways made on peak day (13.02.)

The disparity is obvious and becomes even bigger if you look at the whole duration of the sale.

What I propose is that the bundle list should contain only games that were part of a $1/$0.99 deal.

That would include, for example Limbo, VVVVV, Crazy Machines 1/1.5, Darksiders, but at the same time it wouldn't include Atom Zombie Smasher (only a part of BTA HIB3), Crazy Machines Elements or Darksiders 2. Or for example, Bastion wouldn't get on the list back when HIB V appeared, but rather 2 weeks ago, when i became a $1 deal. This could solve the complaints of people arguing why some Amazon/GMG deals aren't considered bundled, would let people who bought BTA versions of bundles (usually $4 or more, with the latest weekly HIB as an exception) contribute to the fullest and at the same time encompass most of what a lot of the community seems as 'contributor value farming/abusing'.

Of course, this is just a (probably not so well thought through) suggestion, feel free to point out the flaws behind my reasoning.
