I've had this on my mind for a while. How does SG know if games have been reduced or been free? Also does the reduced or free indicators wear off of a game after a certain amount of time? Sorry, I'm relatively new to SG and these were not answered on any of the guidelines or any of discussions I have read.

reduced/bundled is based on the price available in the steam US store compared to any other region (russia is usually the cheapest one), price glitches, or bundles (always with tier 1 and 2, tier 3 and monthly only if the total price is over 95% off).
free means it was given away in sites like gleam in large quantities.

free tags from games haven't been removed, so far.
bundled to unbundled happened a few times (ie: alien isolation, and wolfenstein - the new order).

Because users post bundle threads or send tickets to support to let them know.

No, not usually.
