I've checked my Real CV stats on sgtools tonight and guess what? Lego Batman Trilogy, Unreal Deal Pack and Never Alone are bundled! (bought Never Alone on Steam and gave it away BEFORE it was in HB Indie Bundle 16).
So none of the games above have been bundled at the time I gave it away. Nor have they had 90% off. I assume it has something to do with russian ruble (damn you, Putin!) and how prices in Russia convert to USD. So, basically, we have to suffer because russian currency is weak. Cool.
I don't really know why the bundle games list even exists. I mean, if I plan to give a non-bundled game away, I always check the list. But what for? I might find the game I gave away among the bundled ones even months later (of course I'm not talking about giveaways created seconds after the bundle starts, I get it, no one sits in front of the computer all day, waiting for new bundles to appear, so the list can be expanded).
When you spend some money on a game and you get 15% RV off it you might feel cheated. What's the point in buying better games, when you can pay $1, get six mediocre games and the result will be the same? Sometimes I feel the need to give away something nice but the system here is really discouraging.
Perhaps I should just start buying region-locked gifts from Russia for cents, then create region-locked giveaways. It would be as fair as the way I'm treated.

Having said that, I don't expect anything to change; I know it won't. It's just a rant, I'm mad and I felt like letting off some steam (no pun intended).

Have a nice day everybody

sneaky giveaway, who would've thought

The whole problem here is that you're overly worried about CV.
Once you stop worrying about what CV you're going to get, you'll find yourself much happier on SG.

Everyone has to rant from time to time, it's part of the katharsis.
Several games I gave away have been retroactively bundled as well. What can you do? Nothing. :P

If I'm not mistaken, games that are given away on SG before they were bundled should not be bundled afterwards, unless, somewhere on this planet it was bundled on or before the date of the GA.
It's a tricky one, but I'm sure that there are systems in play to protect that. I also wondered and queried this previously and support explained some of it to me.
Also, don't go on the SG bundle page alone, since that's not always 100% up to date, and get added retrospectively.
I better way to check is using SteamDB for historical discounts, and other sites like IsThereAnyDeal to check if a specific game was ever discounted to 90% or even bundled before.
Hope your issue is sorted.
I know people like to argue against people that rant and complain, but sometimes the OP is within reason to complain or rant. So just ignore the hate speech.

Just move past caring about CV and level on this site. It seem s to detract from what this site is supposed to be about, the love of gifting.

And you would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for the meddling kids!

No, i don't. It's not Steamgifts fault so getting angry at them is pointless.

By the all massive giveaways, price glitches, different currencies and ........... there's always this chance to miss something and if you are unlucky that's actually sth that makes the game bundle eligible and you were unaware of it/them.
