[Fanatical] Slitherine Pick and Mix 💜

75% off in June - $6.24 / 7 Canadian, after that 3x 70% off.
Not a huge saving unless you're buying 5 games, and then you're overpaying for bundled games.

Pike and Shot had the same June 75% off sale, 60% afterwards, and probably is the best 'deal' here.

Bad prices.
Most games bundled notably cheaper.

I found 5 games I don't have that looks interesting. Is this worth picking up or wait for a better price for the bundle?

Well. that's the "charm" of such offers, you really never know.
Fanatical has a history of doing slitherine (re)bundles regularly, and it was definitely better to buy almost all of the games which are in this pick-mix when they're bundled earlier - but if you missed them then there is no guarantee for repeating them in the future and even if then for what price and how long you'd have to wait.

True. I already have some of them from previous bundles, but I haven't seen Fanatical offer the real good Slitherine bundles they used to have back in 2016 and which I missed when they were still Bundlestars, so perhaps it is better to get it now.

I feel you bro... comparing today's offer to this bundle
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/m3vBy/bundle-stars-grand-master-bundle
which I've missed and which was including most of interesting me games (to add salt to injury - in very complete versions with the DLCs) - the current offer looks very miserable :(

The DLC would be very nice, but at a certain point buying DLC is a waste of money if you never play or do not like the base game. :|

I bought CK2 + DLC, and then discovered that CK2 wasn't my type of game. It was, however, way too late to return it. :(

But getting almost all DLC in one package for such low price like in that bundle I've linked above you risk nothing.

Ah. In any case, I wasn't aware of bundle sites back then, so I missed out.

Amusingly I was too cheap to buy that back then, and now it looks like an amazing deal I ignored out of ignorance.

That has happened to me too many times to count. :/

Does it matter for you if a game has been substantially cheaper before? If so, skip.
Will you play them in the near future? If so, consider it.
Are they just +1 titles or things for your backlog that won't be touched before the year 2032? If so, better skip.

What games you want to buy and how much you want to pay for them is a very personal thing. Most of the time I refuse to pay more than a historical low price out of principle, for example.

Thanks. I just received one after buying the star deal yesterday. I will use it on a bundle I am interested in.

Hi, could you say a liitle bit more? What did you buy earlier (or for how much?)
I was wondering why did you get 15% coupon - I do get often fanatical coupons as an extra bonus from buying there, but it's always 10% only.

I deleted that mail but it was listed at the shop was a "Spring" in the name of it. So i am nearly sure it gave a bundle with Spring in it (no mystery stuff) that i buyed a few week(s) ago -the coupon was max. 2 months old and i think much lesser-.

EDIT: Today i used a 10% one and it was named as the last bundle i bought, so my first thoughts about the first ones must be true.
Hope that helps by a quick search
