How to detect 'bundled' games? [GA inside]

Open
DaveDee

Wanted to try to make some nonbundled ga, found this one
At the moment of creation, it was clearly not in this list, there was only regular edition.
sgtools also confirmed it as nonbundled after it was recieved by winner.

Yes, i know that "changes to the list of bundle games will apply retroactively" but i just want to know HOW to detect bundled game?
Even this one was added only several days ago, but was bundled Dec 22, 2015 - about 2 months have passed.

100% bundled oGA as a 'thanks'

That one was hit with Russian pricing. It was -80% off in the US, but the base price in Russia is 599 RU.
119.80 RU = ~1.59 US$
That gives us over 95% discount compared to base US price, which is enough for getting added to the bundle list.

Think you are right. It was discounted for 80% only 22 Dec, according to this base
So find something out of list > check for 80% discout > make some lazy calculations just in case... > profit.
Right? O_O

You could search the game on https://isthereanydeal.com
If you click on the game it shows you in which bundles the game has been before

Yup, just to clarify that the game is already on the list now, and takes some time to someone include there

Always beware of Russian regional price, or Brazil, or whatever.
From my experience, less than 80% discount is safe, almost, not every occasion. More than 85% discount, there is a risk to be bundled retroactively because of regional prices.

I just thought that adding to bundled list takes a maximum of a month. This one looked safe enough for me :)

I can be more than one month because there's no automatic way to detect. A lot of times they aren't added until a user reports it.

I gave this away in early January last month. It's only yesterday I noticed it was retroactively bundled from December last year. Oh well.. Life goes on.
