Could you maybe mark the „dead“ bundles in the chart?

sensualshakti, the chart still says Day 1 on some of the Day 2 bundles
thanks for all your efforts btw, always appreciated!

Could you point me which ones are wrong?
Fanatical bundles release at 16:00 GMT, therefore I count a Fanatical day as starting at 16:00 GMT, and so do Fanatical representatives on Reddit usually (this time they mixed them up a bit). I know it might be confusing because the day in the chart doesn't represent a calendar day...
I am not sure if Idea Factory Bundle should belong to Day 1 or Day 2: it was supposed to be released at 16:00 (meaning, Day 2) and it's in Day 2's Reddit post, but it was released before that, during what I call "Day 1".

Well if you look at the times in the table starting with the Workshop Bundle Remix it should be Day 2, no? I mean it goes from 23:00 to 01:00 but still says Day 1 on the following 4 bundles, which doesn't make logical sense. As far as what time zone to use I would suggest whatever Fanatical operates on being in the UK but that's up to you.

Yeah this is where the confusion comes in. If Fanatical thinks the day starts at 16:00 then that's just shenanigans to me.....
but whatever, it's really a quite minor thing anyway.

If they really do "24h * <days>" of bundles, then unfortunately 'Day 1' starts at whatever time of day they launch it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I get it. Though it also begs the question as to why their bundles typically end at like 08:00 GMT if the day begins at 16:00. Seems rather inconsistent.

Figures the only one I want sells out (rising star)

wait, so, will they not restock those? I was gonna get the killer bundle on my next paycheck XD

Maybe point out that the coupon you get from buying is worse than the two other coupon options (due to a $6/6€ minimum)

Killer Bundle 12 and Rising Star Games Bundle are mine but this... this means there will be no more good bundles...
AAA or TOP Indie games guaranteed... yeah... sure... AAA games from years 2015 etc.

I got the Killer Bundle, but I still have hope that there still will be one or two decent bundles. Never bought any of themystery bundles anyway.

Mystery bundle is like a guy coming to you with a box saying you can buy it for 10$.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1
Besides that, maybe there is one game that you are interested in and two you don't like. So if you buy the one game when on sale, it's cheaper or at least has nearly the same price.
Comment has been collapsed.
Most of the times it is 1 game you want and 99 you don't want.

îmo the only bundles worth buying on fanatical are the mystery bundles as the others are 85% of the time just rebundles or games i am not even a bit interested in. In the mystery bundles i at least have a chance to get games i am interested in :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Well at first I bought many Fanatical bundles now as 2 years later many of them are just rebundles I only buy the ones that are new if they have games I can like so Killer Bundle 12 and Rising Star Games Bundle are good for me.
But mystery bundles I hate as I don't know what I'm paying for so I don't buy them :P
Comment has been collapsed.
idk i am the same with the fact that i have most of the stuff from their bundles but even the new bundles they havent done before like the killer bundle isnt really worth it imo as it also just has games in it that have either been in bundles before or are just from genres i really dont care about :/. I miss the times where all the bundles were a first for me and i was always excited to see which bundle would come next nowadays its always just this bundle again :c
Comment has been collapsed.
True, but over the years you buy many of the games which you are interested in and then the bundles get boring and more boring. But I also like to know what I buy, so a mystery bundle isn't that what I'm looking for.
And, when you own more games, the chance to get doubles/triples ect. increases.
Sure, I wish that there would be new bundles and I too often see repeats, but some of them are still interesting for new gamers.
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean I would like it more if they would just make normal bundles with the games they put into their mystery bundles however I feel like the bundles would be relatively expensive then. Still would be at least a nice thing to have. Like a pick from a certain pool bundle with all the mystery games
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood you.
That would be very nice, but I also think that these bundles would be high-priced.
Another idea would be a Pick Mix Bundle, with price tiers, so you can either choose let's say 8 games with a cheap price or 6 cheap games amd one middle priced game or 2 high-priced games, but then only 3 middle and/or low-priced games. Just as an example.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah thats what i mean. They could even keep it like they have right now with the mystery bundle and just add it as an extra to be able to pick. Then people could decide for themselves if they want the rush from buying a random pack or just pick the ones they want and maybe pay a little bit more

Thank you for taking the time to compile all the info, it’s appreciated!

Theeeeeeeeeeeere we go. The "Mystery Bundle" is exactly what I was expecting from Fanatical.
Now that we are back to the usual gamble scheme, I can go back to my normal life.

Fanatical is pretty lame atmo ,can't stock up their "killer" bundles with a decent amount of keys.
It's like click-bait .
" Sorry that bundle has gone but look at these ones over here ! "
Er...No thanks. :)

And the other bundle that sold out seems to have "sold out again" but at least they scrounged up more keys there huh.

Hi, we've contacted you both directly via Steam over this. Please can you respond in the next couple of hours. Thank you.

Hey,
I was wondering why Fanatical was adding me :)
Accepted you now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe next time you should only contact them privately, your messages here were foreshadowing and so I was able to screenshot the upcoming bundles
Comment has been collapsed.
It's interesting how this lit enough of a fire under you to register here. As long as you are here I just thought you should know that the way you felt about the bundle leak here is the way that many people feel about your turn towards exploitative mystery bundles: i.e. they want to to see them gone.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey,
Apparently the bundles I posted here were not supposed to be shared ahead of time, please remove them from the list.
Thanks.

Already did, thanks for letting me know though. FanaticalDec contacted me with the same request.

We're trying our hardest, all of the publishers have been contacted and we're waiting for keys. We really appreciate the patience as we look to restock and are sorry for the disappointment this has caused so far.

Thank you very much :). It's great to be here and we hope you're enjoying Bundle Blast.

Hey, welcome to steamgifts.
Yeah the gifting can start now coughing ... lol.. only a bad joke don't take it serious
First Fanatical has in general good offers and build up a good reputation. So a big thanks for that.
At the other hand it loose more and more of that GOOD reputation with that, endless, stream of mystery (crap) bundles.
Please don't act like Hot Random Keys or such "key sellers", you were, in the past, much above such ones.
And as a little add, The new coupons system are bad. The bundles are, often, at 4,XX€ and the coupons are only for a buy 5€ or 6€+ -to "force/motivate" the customers to buy the mystery keys to reach that step-.
I really dislike that "motivation"! and when i dislike something then i do the opposite from what someone expect from me. Special if it is a company.
So in the end we get coupons for a purchase and then can't use them for anything if we aren't willing to buy mystery keys or much higher priced games, on top of a bundle, to reach the minimum (or above). That make the coupons system for me nearly uninteresting and the emails with the coupons more annoying then something else. It feels a bit as i get punished for purchases and feeling was with the old coupon system the complete opposite. It was a great experience and a reward for a purchase before.
Is it ok to add you at steam ?
Comment has been collapsed.
I think they know how some steamgifts users feel about mystery bundles already and those mystery keys prompts.
I suppose they need to make money and if that works for them they'll probably carry on with them.
As long as they also do some nice bundles too ,which they seem to do,
then i'm not TOO bothered about it any-more.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sure each company need to make money and a few mystery bundles are ok but a endless stream of them isn't.
I think they know how a part of the customers feel but i think it is always good to speak about good AND bad things. Special to a company, that they can make it better and more fitting to the biggest part of their customers].
And i prefer to be one that try something then one of the people that assume stuff, want that stuff will be done but don't make something by themself (other ones will do it...).
I can say "i tried it" :o).

Hi, thanks for the questions.
We're happy for you to giveaway or trade keys, as long as you're not reselling them.
Our system does have bulk buyer restrictions in place as we like to have as many customers as possible purchase our deals without fear of running out of stock due to people buying the same product over and over.

While you're busy with requests, can you guys stop doing Mystery Bundles? :D

Can you just post to reddit again? Guess they will not care about takedowns and such.
Would be nice to know if there is something else coming besides shitty lootboxes and low-stock honeypot bundles.

Just sign up as their affiliate, and you'll get a full list of their upcoming bundles every month.
