Do people forget? I'd say they can't buy it but you have to have 50$ worth of games to be on here so they should have some money maybe?

Just something I always wondered.
Earlier ones like 1-3 I understand but the newer ones most of the site should know about them.

EDIT: This is about people not buying the bundle but then entering to win the bundle.

Or like me, you already own a big part of a bundle and simple don't see the point in buying it for just one game.

Financially some people may find themselves in situations where they can't spend any more money on luxuries as they previously were able to, in some cases they don't even have more than $1 in their bank or they're just in plain debt. Technically they could buy the bundle at 0.01c but probably instead prefer not to cheap out like that and thus decide to skip out on it entirely until they have enough funds to considering a reasonable purchase price.

Reading a lot of what people are saying here is surprising to me though, I thought most of you would have a better grasp on how other peoples personal financial situations and needs work out. Also just because someone is poor doesn't mean they're lazy to work, it's more of a case of them being unable to work/find work. A lot of people simply can't help the fact they're poor, or are in a serious financial crisis, finding themselves little to do to fix it. The US is a notable example where there is a major gap between rich and poor for a supposed 1st world country and yet the government isn't going to address any of their own issues correctly anytime soon.

I understand that some people don't want to buy it for one cent.
but why would you then enter to try and win it if you coulda bought it in the first place?

I think it's more of a case of people feeling less guilty and more confident knowing that they won it/got it by someone else who possibly spent at least more than 1 cent obtaining the bundle, and even more so if it included the extra games you get for paying above the average price.

Also from what I'm aware folks buying the Bundle for the low price of 1 cent through Paypal is bad enough as it is because the transfer fee from Paypal causes the seller to receive nothing and in turn they have to make up the rest of the transfer costs, it's like they're paying you to play their games.

Why would you not have one of the following 3

  1. Withdraw money from bank using Paypal and pay that way.
  2. Credit Card
  3. Debit Card

Only reason i can think of for not having any or all 3 of those is, you're a kid. Go up a few posts, someone says "i'm not allowed to have a credit card/debit card". /Question answered.

Paypal service is shit and I don't like something that can take money from my bank account at will
I don't have a steady enough job to pay off credit card bills
Since when can you purchase games online with a debit card?

I have purchased many things online using debit cards. You use them just like a credit card.

I have wii, xbox 360, ps3, ps2, xbox, dreamcast and snes.

And I know steam is cheap. But how on earth do people get a good gaming PC. Because you need money for that. Thats why i said if you dont have the money. Play something else if you have it or try getting a job or if you are too young, do some chores and your parents might increase your allowance. But without the help of money and then be broke as MC HAMMER. I don't see how you get the money for the gaming PC but not for the games.

Why would I buy games that I won't play?

I've bought a bundle for myself only once, and I reedemed only 2 games of the bundle... One that I wanted and the second one looked interesting. Everything else I gave to my friends.
