Heroes of the Monkey Tavern - From Fanatical Mystery Star Bundle
Comment has been collapsed.
Frontiers is almost definitely just old humble bundle keys from the humble frontiers bundle in 2017 as most of the giveaways are 3+ years old and a newer one says it's an old key.

Where does Clid the Snail keep coming from all of a sudden?
Comment has been collapsed.
Full CV and 1,49€ on grey market sites since Dec 5. I also wouldn't call it "all of a sudden". There have been 7 GAs spread over the weeks since then, one with 3 copies.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess that was what I meant by "all of a sudden", I can't recall EVER seeing it before this last little crop of them. Thank you for answering and so quickly.

There have been a couple in Mar/Apr 2023 and one in Jun 2022, most of these were heavily restricted though. I also don't really see a reason pricewise for those.

The game is cheap on Fanatical https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/clid-the-snail - 1,99€ (or could be grey market :) )
Comment has been collapsed.
I bet the region free giveaways are grey market, and the rest Fanatical. I bought a copy for myself on Fanatical a month ago, and it had a ridiculously high amount of locks. Maybe the most I've ever seen, from Fanatical anyway.

I've just checked the key, it was https://steamdb.info/sub/625033/.
These "(Tier 1)" sometimes pops on Humble (Road 96 if I'm not wrong had the same locks)
Comment has been collapsed.
Fanatical is sometimes weird with their restrictions. On SteamDB there are only three packages for Clid the Snail and only one of them is restricted to 106 (out of ~195 or so) countries, the other two including the store sub are unrestricted:
https://steamdb.info/sub/625033/
So the currently running giveaway is way more restricted than actually necessary.

Could be leftovers from this bundle https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/jt0Da/humble-bundle-valiant-vr-bundle-encore
but most likely from grey market since it's very cheap there.

How is it still Full CV even thought it's been bundled?
Comment has been collapsed.
Sooner or later it'll be corrected. Marking games as reduced or zero CV is made manually by a group of volunteers, and they have a backlog. Once the CV is set correct as "reduced value from date X", CV gained from that date is corrected. That's why some people come back one day and see their CV has lowered, or even the level has lowered. Note that CV gained before "date X" is untouched.

A game getting bundled doesn't automatically mean that it should be Reduced CV. The effective discount from a bundle needs to be at least 92%-95% for that to happen. Most of the bundles that these VR games came in were fairly expensive (e.g. $20 for 7 games) and the average cost per game (~$3) is too high to meet the Reduced CV threshold.
If you take into account gray market prices ($0.5 for Dragon Fist VR kungfu), then yes, it should be Reduced CV but most mods don't consider the grey market. So, expect this and similar games to remain Full CV for a long time, or even indefinitely, unless a mod notices.

Game started to be abused for CV boosting, so it won't slip again and most likely get reduced retrospectively.

Let's hope you're right. If two years on SG have taught me anything, it's to keep my expectations low. It's like dealing with a government bureaucracy.

Hi, bhns. It might be from the latest Fanatical's mystery bundle:

Thanks, I noticed a lot of the fanatical mystery bundles games that has never been bundled before stay FULL CV. Do you know if SG doesn't count them as bundled because it's "mystery" or how does it go?
Comment has been collapsed.
The number of copies might be too small to count as bundled since it's one posible game among many, at least I think that's the logic behind not marking some games as no CV when there was a giveaway somewhere with let's say 20 keys being given away, so the same concept might apply to the bundled status.
Also you can't reliable buy the bundle to get that specific game, because it's randomized.
Comment has been collapsed.
Same logic could apply to Feudalife keys but they don't. Anyhow the whole CV situtation is just an inconsistent mess, best not to even think about it. My favourite example is Down in Bermuda that was never given away or even bundled but it's still somehow zero CV:

The amount of sold bundles isn't from interest for the mods to set a game to bundled or not.
That it is in a mystery bundle and you can't pick it directly is maybe a reason.
But i assume the real reason is that nearly none handle the "set games to free/bundled" task.
(And if they would, they would handle first the things that have easy available infos, which mystery bundles not really have)

they stay full as its random and not really abusable.

Another one of those Full CV VR games from the Valiant VR bundle. I noticed that many of the other games in that bundle are quite expensive in the grey market so my guess is that resellers are making good profit from those titles and dumping the less popular ones for pennies. A cheap CV chaser's dream come true.

City Siege: Faction Island?
Mostly on Indiegala so probably some giveaway somewhere ...
Comment has been collapsed.
Dunno about a giveaway but it's also just ~$0,25 on the grey market and even has been cheaper than that 2-3 weeks ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you :) The grey market is probably where it is coming from then.

according to barter, givee x3000 keys.
keys for a quarter on a game that retails for a dollar wont draw the CV farmers, especially after the fees on grey markets.
Comment has been collapsed.
I already included the average fee when buying multiple games but you're not wrong. Didn't see that it's just a dollar at retail price.

Many more are posting this game as a giveaway in the Indiegala giveaways/raffle section. I have just been trying my luck (bad so far :)

Dragon Spirits became really cheap in keyshops and there are a few giveaways. Is it only because of Killer Bundle 28?

Also possible drop from Fanatical Mystery Star Bundle.
