[P.S.A.] SEGA Genesis Classics Pick & Mix Bundle from Bundlestars? Check your winners!

These games have to be some of the worst ones on Steam when it comes to how many instances and packages that the individual games can be found. I own the Sega Mega Drive & Genesis Classics bundles purchased on Steam which contains most of the games in the SEGA Genesis Classics Pick & Mix Bundle from Bundlestars (why no Sonic CD Gaben?) and the giveaways still showed up for them and I had to manually add them to the block filter. I don't know if sgtools will have problems with these games because of this either. Hopefully knsys is on top of it or has further comment. My sympathies in advance to those who may have re-roll issues.

Because the games are Dlc, don't think there is much that can be done about it.

check your winner for $0.01 games, don't let them exploit you.

That's not the only reason why I posted this. I had actually entered a couple of them thinking they were games that I was missing until I checked after I ran into one that I was sure I had. If these games break the system then do you think staff wants a flood of reroll requests because people who weren't paying attention accidentally entered them thinking that they didn't own them as I had or because the GA creator sees that their winner already owns it?

Just trying to help. The price of the games doesn't matter when it causes issues on the site for the staff to have to deal with. I'm sure that they will appreciate the lessened workload from those few that have read my post and gave a care by paying attention and acting accordingly and hopefully people entering will check to make sure that they don't already own it first.

The issue you're describing is actually a well-known one, and we can't do anything about it, because it's all due to the way the Steam Web API works.
Until Valve decides to fix their broken mess of an API, the only thing we can do is check winners before sending a DLC, or just avoid to make giveaways for them in the first place.
