Seems like this might be a good way to bring the other bundles prices down as well

I hope so as well. Better than most bundles out there.

I have 2 from that collection and games, that left for me, bought separate will be cheaper on 3 cents :) So hard skip

P.S. It's sounds like most of the messages in most of the threads about some cheap bundles

That's because it's a package, not a bundle, so you don't get discount for owned products.

Thanks for explanation, actually didn't know about that.
Also I thought it will be funny skipping because of price difference in 3 cents :)

I won't buy a thing from company which shamelessly revokes steam keys like Frogwares did with the SH: Devil's Daughter

Why did they revoke the keys?

Ask them, they didn't even bother to respond

Frogwares had a history of disputes with their publishers. Each time, they'd claim all their games were being delisted. People would rush to buy them and magically the games would remain listed.

Their dispute with Nacon was particularly nasty, resulting in two different versions of The Sinking City being sold. It looks like both parties were pretty scummy in that situation. One or the other had Steam revoke keys for Devil's Daughter as collateral damage from that dispute.

Now Frogwares is their own publisher and seem to be getting in to publishing other games.

As far as their game quality goes, it ranges from meh to repetitive AF to actually pretty decent.

there were legal issues surrounding the whole IP, because of Nacon's bad practices and Frogwares inability to respond, so what Frogwares did was revoke Sherlock Holmes keys and tell people to not buy The Sinking City "to raise awareness". Since then things have been settled recently I'm pretty sure, but those keys will never be recovered.

afaik, some people say that Frogwares always has problems with publishers, but since I only know about this story in particular (because I actually do like the franchise) i can only speak for this situation.

I've got them all and there's a few missing from that list too. Is there any way to calculate the CV from these items and see if they'd make for a decent GA?

I tried buying it but it can only be gifted to someone already on your friends list (Must be a collection thing). Not of any use here at SG :(

The Frogware sale ends in 4 hours. So that might be the end of this one too.

Those are ancient, the only halfway modern/decent one would be Testament.
If you're interested in Sherlock, be on the lookout for Crimes & Punishment.
