Tell people what games go towards the $100.00 minimum if they fail to reach the minimum.

I mean yeah it's irritating I'm sure, but the FAQ is right up top and if you're looking and confused I think it'd be the easiest thing to find fast. The minimum isn't THAT small I think - even with bundled games I would assume. If anything I already click that topbar a LOT when I'm on this page and stare at it a ton I assume others do too.

If anything maybe a link for the current Bundled and Free games - I know it's on SGTools but I'm not sure the affiliation with steamgifts is what I would think would be most helpful. I would still simply just include this in FAQ. (I know steamdb does a basic calculator for you as well - basically it's not super super hard to find I suppose)

It's not really explained there. All it says is:

"Users sign-in using their Steam account, and we require their account to be valued at $100 or greater. Games that have been accessible through bundles, or games that were once available for free due to promotions or pricing errors are not included in this calculation. We have this requirement in place to prevent users from registering multiple accounts."

To someone not familiar with Steamgifts, the concept of bundled games and "free" games and pricing error games would make zero sense. And note that the bundle list isn't even linked there. A link to it is buried deep in the FAQ, where no new user would reach before giving up (The FAQ isn't exactly short, you know!). In fact even I couldn't find it when I skimmed the page, had to search "bundle" to find it. And the list of free games isn't linked at all. (Actually, is there a list of free games? Or are they included in the bundle list?)

And even if new users somehow get to the bundle list, what are they gonna do with it? Search for each of their owned games manually? Search for any games they could buy or trade for manually? It's not like the list is something you can look at and get an idea of what's going on, there are 6,168 games on it! And it's just the games, no explanation of why they're on the list. To a new user the whole thing probably seems arbitrary and obtuse.

Because of this I completely support Gwarsbane's suggestion. It's a necessary first step. What's more, I'm not sure if $100 of non-bundled games is still a reasonable requirement now that it's becoming increasingly hard to even find such games on Steam. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but the check doesn't even care whether you got the game before it was bundled. So you could end up with people spending hundreds of dollars on games and still not being able to use the site because almost everything they bought went and got bundled.
