Most of the Indiegala weekly bundles aren't as extreme as the Crazy Machines pack was or the Humble Weekly Sales have been (Crazy Machines happened to have two decently-priced $1 games, while most of them only have one $1 game, which is usually either cheap or already-bundled anyway.)

My prediction All games on steam store will include to bundle list except valve game and activision games or not?

NO! ಠnಠ
I want my bundled game giveaways, as do many others. Plus it'd just make things overly complicated for support by putting the extra burden of tracking down and removing bundle keys on them. I'd much rather have them focus on more important issues.

Should be someone who brings balance to the world, huh?
Edit: I believe the key was taken, it was the capital letters and the numbers combined, my whole post wasn't serious and I'm sure it wasn't too hard to tell there was something hidden there.
Kind of sad no one specifically said they got it or anything..

That was the key.

Pretty soon every game will be in a bundle and everyone's contributor value will be capped at $30!
THE END IS NIGH!!!!

No need I am here. bought 30+ bundles and donated all to charity. I am not even one bit mad since winners got their games and some money was donated for a good cause. I really don't care about the value and will be glad to do it again.

You tell me.
"After deliberation among the staff and listening to community feedback, these have been added to the bundle list and will continue to be added as appropriate."

The point I was making is that, if nothing had changed. Aka, those games didn't go into a bundle and he would have made that same exact comment, no one would have been nice to him. But because the people who wanted the change got what they wanted of course they will be nice. He is giving things without getting any value for them, just like they wanted.

Utterly irrelevant. The user whose post you replied to was expressing the kind of satisfaction and self-respect that money can't buy and which doesn't depend on external things like whether some stranger on the internet thinks you foolish. Good for him.

Not counting your last giveaways:
You are here 8 months and you made 41 giveaways, where last of it was made over 1 month ago.
Suddenly, after these cheap bundles giving contribution showed up you gave away... 57 games in just 2 days. Accidentally all of them come from bundles that counted to contribution, while there were active other cheap bundles, that don't give CV - you didn't give away a single game from them.
I think that there have to be a strong reason for such big change, thus I think you cared a lot and I don't believe you.

Or those 57 are all better games than those in the other bundles? Darksiders is pretty awesome itself and its reputation speaks for itself.
So people like those games more than some Abe Oddworld or A game of dwarves? Please don't tell me you are serious...

Let me rephrase his point. If OP really wants to donate to charity and giveaway games, Why put it all on darksiders bundle and not other bundles(which are included in the bundle list) a month before the ds bundle. That alone make his post suspicious/questionable

You are reading into this too much, I had extra money this month and came across this bundle, bought it and shared it with others while donating some money to a charity.

Thanks for clarifying that.
From a personal standpoint I value games differently. Not from a money perspective, but from a "fun" perspective. So Darksiders is probably more fun than the great indie game VVVVVV and I would probably give away a lot more Darksiders than VVVVVV.
But you are right. The whole "charity" argument seems implausible, almost ridiculous for bringing it up.

I won't say I expected any different, actually. I only did my giveaways last week because I figured if everyone is doing it, I should as well.. lol But really, no harm done and I approve of them being added to the bundle list.
Now about that Crazy Machines... XD

After deliberation among the staff and listening to community feedback, these have been added to the bundle list and will continue to be added as appropriate. There really isn't much difference between the "Weekly Sale" and a regular featured bundle, other than the duration (one week vs two) and the name.
Last week, when they decided not to add the bundle, it wasn't yet known what the future Humble Weekly Sales would look like. But having seen the new one this week, it was clear that these promotions are best treated like any other bundle.
As always, contribution values for bundle games are calculated based on the time they were available in a bundle. That means that even if a bundle that came out last week is added today, the giveaways between the start of that bundle and today will lose their value when the games are added in the list. This is sure to upset many people, but this rule has been in place ever since the bundle list was introduced and hasn't changed.
For more detailed information about the bundle list and how contribution values are calculated, see this thread.
