Is giving away 90%s considered exploit?

Why sould it be a exploit? Its a steam deal!

no it's not

no, not at all :)

alan wake is in bundle list already. Also the answer is no

No

No.

I was basically asking it because when the "Total Rome War at 90%" happened people went like "THE ONES THAT GIVEAWAY MANY COPIES ARE CV WHORES", so maybe since then doing that was considered exploit.

Steam deals are not exploiting. Bundle whoring is.

You can't use a fixed % off as a guideline for whether a game is marked as bundle or not. Because who's to say what the cutoff percentage would be? If 90% was the cutoff, everyone would just use 85% off games to farm CV instead. If it was bumped to 85% because of that, people would use 80% off games. It would be like trying to hit a moving target.

It's usually stuff like free keys from promos

you mean the entire collectors edition is not marked or just the upgrade? if the whole thing isn't mark that is somewhat exploited, that's why the Serious Sam 3 deluxe (or w/e it's called) edition was marked as a bundle since people were paying ~$2 and throwing in their indie royale keys for SS3 to get $50 CV

It's exactly the same as Phantom Ops or Crazy Machines before they were added to the bundle list. If you are honest there are very, very few people who would pay 10$ for a soundtrack, a developer commentary video and a pdf file. I'm pretty sure you give it away for the sole purpose of farming cv and not because you think it's a cool game/addon everyone should have. Personally I don't see anything wrong with that, you still give away something for free. But if CM and Phantom Ops are on the bundle list then this offer should be as well. Hard to do due to technical limitations, I know. But fair? No.

because this sites hates bundle sites like humble/gala/groupee, but dont hate everyone else. :D
