HB Monthly games bundled ? Question for mods

The price of the bundle is less than 5% of the retail value of the games, so they fall under the "discount higher than 95%" rule to get bundled

What adam said. It does not matter whether it's from Humble Monthly nor does it mean every Humble Monthly will be bundled from now on. What matters is that SG always bundles sales that go below 95% discount, and recent monthly did. In similar fashion - in the gift purchases times on Steam when something went on Sale below 5% of US Store price in any region it was added to bundle list. Somehow it did not indicate that "discounted during Summer Sale games will be considered bundled from now on" :>

We can't know before a bundle is published if it's going to be bundled or not, depend on the total value. But so far July has been the first time.

Don't bother asking for clarification as they'll state one thing and just change their minds somewhere down the line anyway.

Since "bundle" can refer to any sale where multiple products are offered within one lump purchase, SG has a more precise definition of a "discount bundle", which, as noted by others, is any bundle at 95% discount. As it wouldn't make sense to limit that to exclude single purchases, you've got the current system of "anything below 95%".
Previous Monthlies have typically hovered in the high 80s- a discount of 86 to 88% was the most common range, if I recall correctly- and I believe the highest discount before now was 92% off. While this bundle was enough to break the 95% discount threshold, it was also the first monthly to do such. As such, yes, future monthlies may also be bundle-listed, but no, it'll likely still be a very rare occurrence.
Put another way: game pricing across the industry hasn't changed any, so the underlying pool that Monthlies pull from hasn't changed. As such, as before, most bundles are still presumably going to be composed primarily of $15-20 games, and thus it'll continue to be unlikely (though, as proven, still possible) to have bundles with four high-retail games, like this one.
If you see another monthly that previews two high retail games, like this one did, you can lean toward assuming it'll nudge that barrier. Otherwise, it'll be the same as always- and with one bundle-listed bundle out of the 20-odd monthlies that've been released so far, that means that most monthlies across any year are likely to continue to be "safe" in that regard.

Well they for SURE are added to the list already because NBA and Pillars TOGETHER moved me a mighty 1/100 of 1% (.01) towards the next level

Now technically I thought if something was listed well before, it shouldn't be retroactive. When I listed them both, they were the only things in the monthly, so they were far above the 95%
Seems kind of bogus, but at least I had two whitelisted winners, so there is that.

support can't warn people about bundling status for monthly HB...
