Fanatical has started its May Madness sale which has 4 new daily flash deals, and at least the first batch is entirely composed of deeper discounts than steam has offered so maybe it's something you might want to keep an eye on. I don' know if there will be new bundles over the course of it.

Its a half walking sim half very poor run away from the monster chasing you game if I recall the few hours I played of it a while ago correctly. At least it looks pretty I suppose.

I take back what I said. It doesn't let you buy the bundle if you own any of the items inside. What kind of bullshit law is that, I don't know. I have never seen a sale in which you are punished for buying products from the same company.

That is a little weird, although I seem to be getting the same prices for the games individually. Like the bundle doesn't appear to be a further saving anyway.

ME Catalyst for example, is giving me the same price on the bundle listing and the store listing. Weird

This was pretty much the bog standard for publisher bundles for years and still somewhat regular albeit uncommon occurence for bundles. If there is one bundle you really want and you only have one or two items in it you could go as far as having Valve remove games from your account if it is cheaper to get the games you want that way.

Bundle savings aren't listed on the individual items in the list you can see at the bottom the price of individual items is $34.40 (which is the cost of all the items in it currently (including individual discounts) you can see the discounted bundle price (your price) $20.95 is quite a bit lower than just buying all them individually at the moment.

I actually sent a refund request explaining the situation, but they declined it. I don't even care about not getting the money back, I just want to get the game removed, cause I would be getting it back for free anyway. Where should I send a request for removal?

Support > select a game > I want to permanently remove this game from my account. Don't req a refund, just remove it.

It didn't work. It said you have a "removed copy" of one of the items in the bundle. I restored it of course, but it's just ridiculous.

You could try posting a message threatening to kill Gabe Newell. I hear that's a good way to get what you want on Steam.

I'm sure this is EA's fuckery, not Valve. They have a tendency to make decisions that suck the joy and excitement out of everything they touch, including a 90% discount.
