KSP - "no plans to appear in a bundle in the near future"

It's not games, but had this happened with hardwares. About a month or so after I bought it.
I get a little upset "I should've waited!" but when I think about it, it's not a really big deal / huge savings and I get to use it now (though it's not urgent).Of course, this might be just post-purchase rationalization (lol). Live and learn.

Just think of it as supporting the dev and if you don't plan on playing the games you bought within a month, I think that's a problem.
Feels like buying for the sake of buying / collecting.

The current influx of bundles absolutely conditioned me to think twice before just purchasing a game. I don't buy a game that isn't 80% off or only costs around 10€ due to my fear of it getting bundled and the height of my backlog. The one and only game I bought recently with 20% off was "What became of Edith Finch" and I really can't see that appear in a bundle anytime soon.

Would you have ever bought those 8 bonus games at full price? Probably not. You may not even want them at all, when you see what they are, so what does that give you? Cards? Giveaway fodder? In other words, you're possibly fretting over having lost $2.79 and some freebies. If that still bothers you, find a way to save three bucks somewhere in the coming month and you'll have recouped your losses. Or, if you're getting the monthly anyway, imagine it didn't have KSP. 8 games for $12 isn't a bad deal, but you also happen to be getting a bonus copy of KSP to make someone happy with.

Regret isn't logical; it's a primitive mechanism in your brain to entice you to learn from your mistakes, but without offering you any guidance on how. When you haven't actually made a mistake (because you were not actually in control of the outcome, lacking information you couldn't have possibly had) it isn't helpful, and you should find a way to outsmart it. Fortunately it's not that hard because your limbic system sucks at logic. Just promise it ice cream and it'll shut up.

I wouldn't be angry about it. You wanted the game, so you paid a reasonable price for it. Many games end up in bundles sooner or later. Doesn't mean they suddenly aren't worth the regular price anymore. You supported a good game, be happy about it. :)

KSP is a great game. I hope you get better soon and can enjoy it fully.

so?
i got frustated too, and not just a few games
that's why i dont buy games except bundles now

Ahah, right in the feels !

Well, maybe it wasn't a lie, support\devs\publishers\etc... have different roles and it's possible that a support guy doesn't know about a particular bug, a dev doesn't know about the selling plan, etc...

Bump !

bought outlast2 a month before HB bundling and was not even good

It happened to me with Tomb Raider.

I got my purchase refunded, and entered the monthly's Tomb Raider key in my steam account.

This way, I got my money back and was able to purchase an other game :-)

And I know it’s a silly thing to get upset about but since the reveal, I’ve been really down and really regret buying the game in March.

If this is one of the worst things that's happening in your life atm things would seem to be going rather well. Happy days.

Why there's no "i don't really care because i actually play and enjoy my games regardless of where i purchased it" option?

Bump

I think it will have happened to all of us. In my case, I buy a game and it ends up free after a few months. I have many in that situation. It's not that I have fun, but I do not take it too badly, sometimes those gifts are in my favor. The problem that I see, and why I refuse to buy everything that interests me, is that they give away and I have not even installed them out of sheer laziness.

Basically my thought is: you spend X in a game, you do not install it. They end up giving away. You have lost X

Obviously, it's my fault.

Hey, I hope you recover from your injury.

i've mostly avoided the problem by only buying games outside bundles if i'm going to play them right away. the last one that happened with was deus ex mankind divided. bought that on sale last fall (goty edition or whatever they call the game with all dlc) and played all of it before it was included in i think last month's humble monthly. i still felt a little cheated even though i played it like 6 months earlier than i would have if i waited for the bundle and i got dlc missions that weren't included in the bundle.

You'll probably be able to trade it in SteamTrades for a pretty decent game, so it's not that bad. Those freebies hurt the most.

By now buying games at their price is a way to show special support, kind of a Patreon thing. Otherwise you know that sitting on the river shore you'll see them 75% off and eventually bundled (with no obvious exceptions, looking at the last few Humble Monthly). This said, let's say KSP doesn't really need more money, so it burns a bit more the way I see it.

And their not paying employees that they used for slave labor wasn't enough to deter you from buying the game? Like most people you only get upset when you're directly affected but not when others are. Serves you right.

Humble Monthly is not that disappointing. I bought a game in a sales and couple of months later, that game appeared in indiegala bundles.
