Uhm, so is Slaying Cyclists even legal?
Bundling Trine in 2021 is a creative idea as well. Last done in 2014.
Technically there's a RU/CIS sub of both cycling games, but it sounds a bit contrived for Fanatical to give that out accidentally: https://steamdb.info/sub/491693/apps/ -> https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/kWe6vZm they actually do have it as RU/CIS Tour de France 2020 choice. There is no guarantee future buyers will get the same key, though.
At $1.6633 / $1.60 / $1.43 per game, it's not useful at all to buy the five pack.

At least they are making it a 'build your own' instead of 'Mysterygasm 2021 Summer Extravanganza Megabundle!!!'. Could do with some more interesting games though in my opinion.

The price is "kinda" reasonable i guess? Since some of the games cost like 40 to 60 dollars. But the games lineup aren't interesting at all unfortunately..

Exactly seven that I don't have, including a few on wishlist, but I don't know if I'll bite here unless they have another bonus for spending over $10 coming up.

Too many repeats, i am missing only 6 and games aren't worth it.

A region lock is not a scam... besides, you do realize that Fanatical has nothing to do with that? Publishers set them.
Also, you can check if there's any restriction on the game's page. (not the bundle page, mind you)
I'm not sure why it bothers you so much to the point that you think it was a waste of money...

1 - not providing full information about a product is a fraud,
2 - region lock (with run lock !) is important information
3 - publisher can be trash as much as he wants, it's their responsibility to provide information as a seller
4 - there is no info about region lock on their site (only that I can activate it), I checked 3 times
5 - because I don't buy region locked (especially with run lock) games for my account
6 - so I wouldn't buy in the first place if I knew about region locks, and would definitely spend those 5$ better
7 - they usually provided ROW keys for years so I wasn't expecting scammy behaviour from them

What Goldwar said... and I'll add this:
4 - there is no info about region lock on their site (only that I can activate it), I checked 3 times
Well... if I look at the Pro Cycling game page on Fanatical, yes, it tells you if the game can be activated in your country. You can also click on "check country restrictions" to see in which other countries the key can be activated. Did you do that? I suppose that if Fanatical detected that you are located in a CIS country and you check, for instance, if the key can be activated in the USA, you'd surely get a big no-no. The information is there, but you have to look for it.
5 - because I don't buy region locked (especially with run lock) games for my account
I really don't get why you wouldn't want to purchase region-locked games if they are for your own account. The only thing that matters is that you can activate them, right?
7 - they usually provided ROW keys for years so I wasn't expecting scammy behaviour from them
Again, Fanatical has nothing to do with that. Publishers decide if their games are region-locked or not.

and it still will only show that it can be activated, but no info about region lock, it's not about activation
because when there is no regional pricing for a product I would like to get full value and adequate attitude as a customer, - think about the situation when you go to car dealer and buy a new SUV for 50k in top variant, you pay for it and when you came to get it, car dealer is like here your new SUV but its actually basic version for 30k without nice seats and wheels, because its how it works for your country (even if Ukraine was never full member in "CIS"), manufacturer hates it and dealer dont give a flying f., and dealer says its your problem, because you still got that SUV model in general terms
Sub can be changed by a publisher at any time, I personally witnessed how glorified CDPR added run lock to my old region labelled Witcher 2 sub id, also Valve itself may change rules about region-locked subs, no one knows how it will go when Gaben will return to Gaea
I may change country of living, with my work its possible and maybe even common to go to work abroad for couple of years and then return,
so in the end I don't like to be tricked into buying sub-par variant of a products and would like to keep my account clean and fully functional if possible

Hum, if a key cannot be activated in a specific county, isn't it the same eventually about being region locked? Still... as goldwar said, Fanatical only obligated to provide you with Steam keys you can redeem on your account. You bought Steam keys you were able to activate on your account, there's no scam going on. There's no point crying about fraud. Because there is simply no fraud. I don't get people like you. I still don't understand why you're crying about the whole thing... Again, you bought games you were able to activate on your account... that's what was indented. Why are you upset?
That you may or may not live and/or work in another country is not Fanatical's problem. O_o
But hey, if you're so upset about the whole situation you can just stop buying from Fanatical. Again, they are not scamming you but if you're feeling like you're getting scammed, just don't purchase from them anymore. Problem solved?

wow, I thought I make myself clear with a car analogy
1 - if you like to buy the sub-par product for a price of the full product while seller cleaning their shoes on you it's your right, just don't put it on others,
2 - if you never had any problems with region locked games its better not to comment on the matter
3 - initially it was warning for those you also have problems with region locks, than it was answer on your post/s
4 - I will myself decide what to do, and stop writing about fraud selling practices of any platform when they stop give reasons
5 - are you affiliated with them ? (rhetorical, I don't want to know)
6 - I will further ignore your comments as irrelevant

You can still play your Steam games from your Steam account even if you move to the South Pole. Region locks only apply WHEN and WHERE you are in the moment of key activation. Fast forward 10 years from now, you're freezing your batteries on a research base at the South Pole, enjoying your favorite cycling simulators on a laptop through your Steam account without anyone batting an eye. Make sure you share that pizza slice though, any sort of food in that place is a treasure by itself.

I try to list region locks in every thread, in order to avoid these cases. Maybe next time, check the thread / comments before buying? hopefully it helps.
Also, if you see "Low stock" on something that usually has region locks, then that's a good indication that you will receive a region locked key for that product.
Of course, it could also be that they're low stock, but not that likely if it's immediately after bundle launch.
Also, that RU/CIS sub for Tour de France is awesome because it contains both Tour de France AND Pro Cycling Manager.

I usually do check, to participate in poll/check game pages (even after I "fixed" region problem in humble), but this time it was a perfect storm, I didn't bother to go on steamgifts and wasn't expecting surprises from fanatical bundle, haven't had any problems for years, considering "Low stock" badge I assume I dodged a bullet in some cases early
thanks for the info about "Low stock"
heh, didn't noticed 2 games, activated Pro Cycling Manager first, there is high chance of mistake in sub so they may delete it anyway
