If you check the site Isthereanydeal and look for that game, you can see in which bundles it appeared.

I already saw ITAD, but thank you.
Now, shows a match: GamePlayBundle by Indie Gala, but that bundle was released this month (when I did my giveaway).
The game is in the Bundle Games List from Oct 1, 2014
I'm confused.

Okay yes that's weird. What game gets bundled within a month after release?
Comment has been collapsed.
a lot really, several before they even release too.
but in this case i see no signs of it being bundled or relative until just recently. so it is still an oddball.. guessing maybe it was an accidental retro-date? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was probably some price glitch in some of the regions with low Steam prices compared to ROW countries, I don't really know.

i'm not seeing it dip below 75% off though, even russian ruble 75% off doesn't meet the threshold for a move to bundlelist.

Maybe cause of that ...
I'm sure it was part of a bundle somewhere

Was it cheaper at the time? Because now it shows only 50% off.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah . Point for me.
I was 100% sure I recall a bundle including that game.
Wasn't it way cheaper then ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Way, way cheaper. Games only get added to the bundle list when they reach 90% off (usually through the Russian store).

in this case it was IGN prime though. xD

Not enough copies of the game were given away for free for the game to be removed from the giveaways list (due to being a free game).

gotta say that this one does seem rather an odd one to be bundled that far back - was it perhaps a mistake?

Did u not see the rest of the comments ?
It was bundled almost at release on bundle stars .

whoa - careful where you put that sharp knife now :) - I asked cause Khalaq saiid "Not enough copies of the game were given away for free for the game to be removed from the giveaways list "
but hey - you swing away merril, whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy :P
also note that my question says 'that far back' showiing that I did in fact note the time of bundling :)

uh .... okay i guess .
I still dont get it but if you say so .

Topics like this make me wish games would eventually (fall off, get pruned, or be removed automatically from) the bundle-game list.
I have several games I cannot make GAs for (purchased during the winter sale) simply because they were given away for free at one time.

I know about the plans, my post is very last on that thread. I even made a suggestion that the full 15% CV should be given if it is a Steam Gift, and not a key.
Comment has been collapsed.
thousands of minion master gift copies and several hundred gun monkey gift copies would be flooding the site though if they gained 15% CV off them.
also everyone would just click the "gift" tickbox even for keys, and send the key thru steam chat just to trick the system.. there is no verifiable way for the system to tell the difference. (it's not designed like gameminers system was)

Not to mention the insane amount of reroll requests that will surely come.

i already fear that even just allowing free games with no cv gain for you guys.. that is gonna make things worse really imo.

Then the system needs to be changed so it can verify you have the Steam Gift in your public inventory when you make a giveaway.
I don't know if it's possible, I've never looked at exactly what details the Steam API exposes. That would be the only possible way to implement what I am asking for.
Comment has been collapsed.
even if possible with a complete overhaul of the system just to add the option of gifting "free" gift copy games and actually gaining CV for them, it would still be way to vulnerable for exploit.
purchase a gift copy, create a GA, give them a key instead of the gift copy that the system verified existed, repeat (without the need to purchase a gift copy again). -- only way around that is like gameminer did with a bot system holding the gifts to prevent an exploitable area.. and steamgifts is way to large to be able to handle bots containing our gift GAs like they did.

I opened a ticket in Support, but I haven't received answer. I copy/paste it here:
I have bought one "Endless Legend™ - Classic Edition" from Indie Gala to give it away. My question: Why is it in the bundle games list?
I don't remember any bundle with this videogame... I guess could have been some glitch price, or similar something ... I don't know.
Thank you for any help you can give me! (and sorry for my english, isn't my native language)
