Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth??
Everything is as intended. No, it doesn't make sense. But it is what it is ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Tomb Raider base game should be on the list too, since you can just give away that and send a GOTY key. The sender would not break any SG rules as they sent the game promised, with some extra.
Then of course, you can expect the base game get on the list now that this thing was mentioned publicly on the forum. :D
The other way around is usually okay. Base game may be bundled, but the full edition (or, in BL2's case, the quarter-of-the-DLCs-included-so-it-is-the-entire-game-right? edition) could easily have never been bundled.
Or heck, look at Karmaflow: the base game is so cheap on the grey market that it is essentially free. Try to get the Deluxe edition, and suddenly you realise it has never been on a discount. Like, at all. It stands at full price since release with no indication of it ever having a sale, let alone find its way into a bundle. In this case registering it as a cheap bundle game would be insulting.

interesting... now my Tomb Raider GA might get bundled :P I got it for "free" anyways... when I purchased Rise of the Tomb Raider.

+1
Collection or GOTY or Deluxe, whatever once bundled ⊃ not-yet-bundled base game : I think base game should be bundled.
Collection or GOTY or Deluxe, whatever ⊃ bundled base game : No problems as what it is.

At least Karmaflow has an updgrade option unlike some games where you have to buy the whole package again, and since the base game has been bundled/saled you can at least cut the cost some.
Comment has been collapsed.
True. Still, that upgrade costs almost as much as buying an actual music CD at the store. For this money they could at least include a lossless format, not just some ancient MP3…

Not sure what the base version includes but there are posts on the community that indicate Deluxe includes WAV

Relax, all games will be bundled at some point and we all will pretend the games are cheap and world is beautiful.

Games get retroactively bundled when I make giveaways. That is the only pattern I have been able to determine...

just make a new account for archibot :P
shhhhhh but don't tell anybody.. rules n stuff pfffft

Well, it can be considered a sentient life form now, can't it? So it could be exempt of the one-account-per-person rule.
Although I'm not sure what would happen if it started to post messages and replies on the forums too.

Actually rules-wise, ArchiBoT would be safe, because SG accounts are restricted to one per person, and ArchiBoT's account wouldn't be used by me, bot doesn't even share the same IP address as me, so there's literally no argument against that, but I prefer to act safe. He wouldn't join any gibs either, as it'd be a pure waste. I need him to post nice comments on 2hu giveaways.

I really don't know that if I should congratulate you for creating a rather convincing talking chatbot, or be actually afraid of you. And ArchiBot. 0.0

Yup, what they said, thank you for chance. One question - as I see it everyone here is angry or panicked that game got bundled, why? Bundled is good, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
well bundled means cheaper to buy if you see the bundle in time, but as far as CV(levels on SG) goes you only get 15% of the value of the game for bundled games. So this game will give me $40 unbundled CV, but only $6 if it has been bundled.

Ohh - so the beginners guide has an error. It says buy any steam game to gain level 1, and at rules it is said that each next level has double requirements, so I ware sure that for 2nd level you need to buy any two games, for example for 0,05$ each...for 3rd level four games and so on... so this works differently? according to the value of the games? and if game gets discounted or bundled it effects peoples levels? and that's why people are crying they are loosing levels?

Correct. the levels use value and only some are double [value] of the previous level. And yes, sometimes when the game was bundled before the GA but gets put on the bundle list after the giveaway, it will cause people to lose levels and cry.

Thank you for clearing that out, my noobity has decreased significantly thanks to you. I see I still have much to learn about steamgifts. And I thought it's a very simple platform ;) :).

A related "issue" with bundled games is that the lower CV means people won't give at away. Where actual bundles are concerned this isn't usually an issue. But imagine if the price error on Amazon for The Witcher 3 earlier this week had been for a steam key and the game had then been bundled. Sure, there are people out there who give for givings sake but most of them would still rather put their funds into something that would also give them a cv return rather than something that will be retroactively bundled a week or two later.

Insert crazy analogy here:
Say you get married and your spouse doesn't want you eating pork for some reason.
So your spouse says you can no longer eat bacon cheeseburgers.
The next day you go to eat a regular cheeseburger and get yelled at.
Your spouse is trying to convince you that a cheeseburger is the same as a bacon cheeseburger.
Cheeseburger is not the same as Cheeseburger GOTY

thanks for making it so clear :P

I will probably never play the game, so I won't enter the GA, but I wanted to thankbump you anyway!

So let's say you have Tomb Raider(not on bundle list) and then you have Tomb Raider GOTY(on bundle list). Is this as intended? Or will bundling of the GOTY version cause original to become bundled and it just has not yet been added?
Also there is Bordlerlands 2(bundled) and Borderlands 2 GOTY(not bundled)... so basically the opposite, but same question. Will the GOTY version get bundled because it includes the bundled game?
and here is a GA for new or less fortunate users :D
