When will the Telltale HB Weekly be added to bundle list?

I believe the Humble THQ Bundle was the only other case in which all of the single games were not added to the bundle list.

Most of them were later added under the weekly sale. The one exception I can think of is CoH.

Yeah, but that was because the weekly sale gave individual keys. If that bundle had never come, the games would still not be on the bundle list today.

What about the new sales policy? Surely the THQ bundles would fall afoul of that (even the $10 THQ medley one). Not that it matters now, but curious.

THQ Medley was $10 for $110 CV, it wasn't a problem (I did not include Metro 2033, because I think it was already removed from giveaway list by then). It also was not exploitable.

I'm actually not aware of any Amazon bundle being over 95% off before promotional coupons (which had to be bought, adding an additional cost that most people don't consider).

The closest were:
Paradox War Chest - $7.50 for $140 CV, a savings of 94.6%
DOW Franchise Pack - $10 for $160 CV, 93.75% off
Paradox 2012 Ultimate Pack - $10 for $189 CV, ~94.7% off

Keep in mind all of these were pre-promotional coupon prices.

If they give you the whole bundle, yes, file a report ticket. They are abusing the system.

It could be seen as calling out all bundle key gifters for exploiting, when it's just a sale, no different than any sale on Steam.

Why should these bundles be added to a list? They're not exploited keys. A gift is a gift.

Seriously. All these complaints, accusations, pointing at sinners... Just drop the contributor value entirely, or make a rule saying not to complain about how CV is run.

I like to be of equal mind here but this is a different argument for a different thread. Sorry bro. I just want to know whether this bundle will be added to the bundle list. And/or when.

You totally miss the point. Every other Humble Bundle has been handled exactly the way that the OP is asking about, so it is actually you that is complaining about how CV is run.

As for treating every bundle like the first humble bundles, I still fail to see why we should use a bundle list at all. A sale is a sale. Having CV is secondary to the question, but still fully attached.

The bundle list has to do with CV. Point respectfully reconfirmed.

Before the bundle list, bundle games were banned. Would you rather that instead?

And this is really quite a derail.

Agreed, though I wouldn't mind continuing this discussion.

I don't know any specific threads (or titles of these threads) to find the ones you're looking for, but reading this thread, this one, this one and cg's recent notice may get you up to speed with what the community has been going on lately.

There was also a poll recently but a majority still voted for the CV system to stay.

That has not changed my opinion of the CV. It should stay if the community wants it to stay, but I don't have to like it. I'll still vote against it when the subject comes up.

Sorta back on topic: Buy this bundle. Great games. Less action but same quality as the THQ Bundle, imo.

Doesn't matter if its a sale its already been noted that humble weekly is considered a bundle as far as SG is concerned.

No it's not, after the Double Fine bundle I was still able to give my Stacking key from Amazon at full value. (Although, they could very well change that retroactively.)

If they're doing what's described they're breaking another rule entirely, it isn't about the bundle rule. If you have to lie about what you're giving away to give it away, then don't. Until the bundle is made an available giveaway, people just shouldn't be trying to give it.

Do you mean " People giveaway the non-BTA key as a individual game and receive full cv" ?

Yes, that's what I mean.

while we're at it, can we mark all the sonic games as a bundle and have the cv be retroactive? people doing this are essentially getting just as must extra cv per dollar spent as what wot is complaining about. I mean if we are all going to whine about people giving away games using huge discounts why not be equal about it?

Amazon bundles have been brought up time and again. Unfortunately they will always be considered sales and not actual bundles since Amazon buys these keys at normal prices. Amazon takes the loss, not the publisher, by making these bundles. Or so that's how it goes; I'm just repeating what's been said here on this topic before.
