Gonna get anything in this "bundle"?
Any buyers should know that HRK only accepts G2Pay as a payment. G2Pay can use bank cards or PayPal, but all payment info goes through G2A as well. Knowing some people are incredibly allergic to G2A (myself included), it can be an issue to know about. Maybe.
On the other hand, I don't think I ever heard about HRK selling fake/stolen/duplicate keys. They mostly specialise in (re)selling the cheapest bundle keys and are apparently in direct contact with a few indie devs.

Yep, that's the thing that no one wants to acknowledge. People keep assuming that they are completely shady and always reselling bundle keys, but I think that in many cases, they are getting keys directly from publishers. A lot of these small game developers and publishers are not the prima donnas people assume them to be, and are more than willing to see HRK as an additional avenue for promotion, especially when a lot of these games have already been bundled to death or given away free, so the Make Bundle is not in any way devaluing the game any more than it already has been.
Plus, HRK is nowhere near as popular as more well-known sites like Humble, Indie Gala, Bundle Stars, and Groupees, so the number of keys they sell is probably a drop in the bucket and not a significant enough of an amount to cause any concern.

Q.U.B.E was free at one point. Only one I see in there that was in a free gleam giveaway.

Hmm... Would grab To Ash and perhaps Hero of Kingdom, but I'm probably going to stick to the bundle sites I'm more familiar with.
Edit:
Might also be worth noting that Miko Mole, Prehistoric Tales, Rescue Team, Incredible Dracula, Weather Lord and House of Snark bundle + 6 in 1 HOG bundle are in the current Groupees "Alawar" bundle ;)

Oh yeah, it would. Just figured out I'd point out the fact that they are in another bundle too :)

Just want to say thanks for picking the subject instead of Rachel.
And as for package... it's not that bad honestly but i don't like them neither g2a or any crap like this so will just pass. But as I said it's not that bad actually if you missing some of them.

I think this might be interesting for:
If you're a regular, you probably have everything except a couple of games that haven't been bundled (yet) and a few games bundled only once.

yes, it is better to add money to their wallet or to buy in bulk...

the fee is there way of making you pay the paypal fee for them :) - they make you use there G2pay thing, which is the fee that they charge you for using it, that way they get all the monies :) - you have to go through their portal to paypal - no way around their fee :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, they add a fee, but note, the price of their bundles used to be more expensive, and the fee was included in the cost.
They reduced the price of all the bundles several months ago, and now the fee is charged separately. This is actually more transparent, so I give them credit for that.

Wondering why I'm not Rachel?
Not really. Rachel intentionally never bothered creating a thread for the Make Bundle.
Here is an old thread where someone made an effort:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/0MXPz/hrk-game-make-your-own-bundle-feb-2016
Here is another thread where someone had requested an updated chart:
https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/iegqu/a-request-to-chart-the-hrk-make-bundle
So, thank you for creating an updated and now RaChart™ compatible version of this.

To be honest, I did it because I needed it myself to keep track of the games on this bundle, I'm being a bit selfish here.
They usually have a (very) few unbundled games and since they do not advertise the changes to the list of games (or they do it poorly), I thought it was a good idea to have a thread for it. I'll update it when games are added/removed, but I hope people will also help with that (as I said it's hard to keep track changes there).

Just about every good thing I ever did, was because I had a selfish interest in something that I later shared with others. There's nothing wrong with that. I personally am not looking for anyone to be like Rachel. She was more anomaly than the norm, which is maybe why she was so sensitive and able to be driven away.

Always glad to help ;)
I was going to say you missed Space Hack but then I noticed what you did there. I'll throw my 2 cents in and say for me it would make the most sense to have the symbol that indicates if a game has been given away for free in the BUNDLED column.

Surprised to see DreamBreak there, looks too promising to be in a HRK bundle :/. No matter, I'll just trade for it since I don't want to deal with their payment method.
Comment has been collapsed.
This "make a bundle" is the source for a lot of non-bundled offers on barter. Funny thing is when you ask people where did they got the key it's always "a friend" who gave it to them (wink, wink). I usually check with my new friend HRK when I receive a strange offer on barter which includes a non-bundled game that could fit with what they put in their bundle.

I have bought some things on HRK before (I did the lottery bundles - because the lottery titles are somewhat decent and I actually wanted a few of them). That said, I do have to question if HRK is a legit site or not. I personally have not had any issues (I also purchased an old game from Kinguin and also an old game from G2A - both of those purchases have not had issues either) but they do list some Blizzard products and that usually screams unlegit store.
I am really interested in the legitness of these stores since I do really want to buy Hearts of Iron IV (Colonel Edition) and HRK has a great price for it (as does wingamestore). I am unsure at this point where I will be purchasing the title as I really don't want to be in danger of shadiness.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the main difference is that on G2A and Kinguin you purchase from a user - so the site is just the infrastructure that allows the deal to take place - where as on HRK it seems like they are the vendor who is providing you with the key (if I am not mistaken) and not some 3rd party user.

Where are the sources of game keys?
HRK supplies its game keys from different sources. Most of the games are supplied directly from Publishers and Game Developers. The rest are supplied from authorized video game distributors which have the license of distribution.
(from HRK website) Whether or not that is true... is another story lol

...The rest are supplied from authorized video game distributors which have the license of distribution.
Yes, they are sourcing keys from authorized distributors, but possibly in regions that are cheaper than where they were intended to be sold. The keys are always legit, just sometimes they might be gray market. Whether that matters to you is the question.

In the day in age when companies report record breaking profits - it doesnt matter to me ;)

G2A is also a vendor. You can purchase keys directly from them in addition to buying from their open marketplace.
Comment has been collapsed.
I still find there to be a clear an unambiguous distinction between purchasing directly from a retailer and purchasing from a marketplace.
HRK does not operate as a marketplace. They are a retailer with explicit consumer obligations and customer service policies, not a random eBay-like seller of keys. I'm fascinated that many people seem to collapse these things into one.
It's the same with G2A. There is the G2A marketplace, which is like eBay, and where it is buyer beware, and then there is G2A the retailer, where you are buying keys directly from them. Of course any open marketplace is going to have it's risks, but that doesn't mean that the entirety of G2A is a crapshoot.
Comment has been collapsed.
The shield thing is meant as a protection for purchases from the marketplace. It just happens to default to ON, even though you have absolutely no need for it when purchasing directly from places like HRK and G2A, rather than the G2A marketplace. I agree that it should be OFF by default, and then people who want it can choose it.

In the U.S., there are consumer protections for items purchased directly from retailers, but there are no such protections for items purchased from open marketplaces. I guess, as my observations have suspected, that Europe goes a lot farther than the U.S. in this area. The United States is very much shaped by a libertarian, every person for themself mentality, which is anti-welfare and anti-consumer and anti-government on behalf of the people. Things here are dominated by corporate interests, so while we do have some consumer protection laws, they go nowhere near as far as what you have in Europe. It would be impossible to have those kinds of laws in the U.S., as companies would claim they were a violation of their civil rights (since in the United States, corporations are considered to be people under the law). Yes, it's insane, and one of the things I hate.

It isn't a "marketplace", so it is safer than G2A/Kinguin in a way. Though i know nothing of the legitimacy of their keys. They might have some deals with some minor developers, but the most part is probably "grey market" (keys from cheaper countries, bulk bundle purchases and such).
Comment has been collapsed.
G2A is not strictly a marketplace, either. G2A is also a retailer in addition to operating an open market.

If the difference in price is minor, by all means get it from Win Game Store, which is a 100% legit distributor.
If you do, don't forget to use the coupon pcgames5off to get an extra 5% discount. I think it needs at least 2 products to work, though.

Still don't get the hate towards G2A they are giving me money about 50 cents every day and never had problems with anything else
Bought 5 keys all 5 worked so
Just a note i tried to do it G2A wallet but it put the shield subscription in there make sure i turn this off or u pay another 2$

No, unfortunately, unlike the loophole with Bundle Stars build-a-bundles, you can't grab multiples of the same game.

BTW, Frontline Tactics - Complete Pack is a DLC pack, and because of that, it will not show as owned on the chart.
And the retail price is $19.99.

Maybe you could put it in parentheses with a space after the name so it's easier to notice?

I'm testing this, I've put the symbol in different places (one per free game, though) to see which ones stand out and are more visible. Let me know what you think!
I think your suggestion is the one that works best, the only problem is the break line if the game title is too long.
EDIT: Since there's plenty of room in the "BUNDLED" column, perhaps it's best to add the "(✝)" notice there. Also thinking about both places (title and bundled column). It also seems logical/natural to put the symbol there so a game is marked as bundled x times and given away for free/not available for GAs.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, now that I think about it, it makes more sense to have the mark next to the number of times the game was bundled in the bundled column, because those two things go together (whether a game is only 15% cv and/or whether it can be given away at all):
