Question about bundle games

I think in will count as bundled, because you're receiving CV at the end, not at the start of it.

It depends.
If you mean that Half Life 3 gets bundled on 4 Jan (and added to list the same day), your giveaway should count as not bundled.
If you mean that Half Life 3 gets added to list on 4 Jan, but the game was bundled on 31 Dec (game not added soon after the bundle because for example the guy following this stuff is on holiday), your game counts as bundled.

I really doubt HL3 will come out in the next 4 years. As for your question, I don't know, sorry.

It will count as unbundled.

The creation date is used to determine bundle status.
So you could create your giveaway on the 1st, the game is bundled on the 4th, your giveaway starts on the 5th and ends on the 7th, and it would not count as bundled.

The date it gets added onto the list does not matter. Let's say you give us GTA VI, giveaway created on 15 December 2020 and it gets added on 23 December 2020. Either:

• The game got added with a date lower than 15 December 2020 and it'll count as bundled
• The game got added with a date higher than 15 December 2020 and it won't count as bundled

Thank all for the reply!

What Tempete said, but also keep in mind the timer ;) what counts is the day of being added to the bundle list - for you it may be 11PM of 3rd gen, but server time it may already be 8 AM 4th gen. If game gets added on 4th gen server time it will count as bundle because from the point of view of SG you made GA on day of it being bundled even if in your timezone it was a day earlier.
