I entered the mass giveaway on indiegala, and this repack happened to me.
6 Crimson Duck Games Vol.2(former Torch Cave 2) now contains Torch Cave 2 + Torch Cave + Sleengster + Sleengster 2 + Rage Parking Simulator 2016 + Barclay: The Marrowdale Murder
Really strange.

Card farming / achievement whoring made easier. Now you need to get only 1 key to get several asset flips to farm cards from.

It's shady because they've given away a free game with cards then repackaged it with five other games each with their own trading cards so they can essentially get money from people buying/selling the cards of six games without having to make and sell six games on their own.
They're doing something similar to what a lot of "developers" started to do when trading cards went live, pushing shovelware unity asset flips to make money on trading card revenue cuts. Giving the games away for free costs them nothing and generates more cards for people to sell making them more money than if they had tried to sell their game.

Also this GA is big misunderstanding:https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/ExPHR/6-crimson-duck-games/search?page=10
A lot of users already own some of those games but they were still able to join this GA.I am one of them.

Didn't notice that, thanks; I tried to search for "Torch Cave 2".
Anyway, my topic is not to tell about a Deal(and it's not really a deal...for me), but to report a possible problem(check TheKibo message: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/hTn0w/torch-cave-2-turned-in-6-crimson-duck-games-vol2-strange-repacks#BnSWrZ1) and a strange behaviour of two different groups of games editors.

Shouldn't you still be able to check community hubs by AppID? like steamcommunity.com/app/ [APPID HERE]/discussions/ ?
Becuase 6 Crimson Duck Games's giveaway forwards to http://store.steampowered.com/app/605470/, and it's discussions
( http://steamcommunity.com/app/605470/discussions/ ) is a discussions forum for Barclay: The Marrowdale Murder o.O

never bought any of their game, got all as gift/giveaway, not sold any trading card related to these games, neither bought any. as their cards so flooded, probably because of cardspam activity, not worth the few clicks for 1cent. well, i still earned their crap cheap massachievements, but yes, iam happy this company gone from steam.

As far as your SG win goes, the game you won is still visible in your library (along with a couple of new ones I guess) so there's no risk of getting in trouble over this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, that's an issue with some packages where SG doesn't recognize the individual games that goes in them.

If you've been registered on ITAD for long enough(it'll report changes on your account only from when you registered on their site), just go to their site, move the cursor over your nickname, on the top right corner, and click the second to last option that will appear: Log.
Or directly check the following link: https://isthereanydeal.com/log/ (you must be logged in).

I'm surprised about how many native English speakers are doing this one wrong. Same for your/you're or spelling the word "definitely", I have seen so many abbreviations of it, some made me chuckle.

Just a few minutes ago, I received an email from IsThereAnyDeal.com, with a log of added and removed games.
The first in the list was Torch cave 2, that I did won about 5 days ago here: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/dNGrs/6-crimson-duck-games-vol2
Worried that the game keys were getting revoked as happened to other games, I tried to research the game on Steam, but it was not appearing...only Torch Cave(1).
Then I did check on my Giveaways Won list...and the name of the last giveaway was changed! From Torch Cave 2 to 6 Crimson Duck Games Vol.2! Something that I was sure I didn't ever won or took place to try to win it(or even know about his existance!). Strangely, checking the giveaway page, showed me still the Torch Cave 2 icon, but with a different game.
I rechecked then my ITAD log, more carefully and discovered the following voices:
Torch Cave 2 removed by system in collection at 2017-06-03 11:10 GMT
GooCubelets: OCD removed by system in collection at 2017-06-03 11:10 GMT

3 GooCubelets Games Vol.1 added by system in collection at 2017-06-03 11:10 GMT
Many strange repacks happened...both for Crimson Duck Studios and GrabTheGames games.
Doing a bit of check, I confirmed the following change:
• 3 GooCubelets Games Vol.1(former GooCubelets) now contains GooCubelets + GooCubelets 2 + GooCubelets: The Algoorithm
• 3 GooCubelets Games Vol.2(former GooCubelets 2) now contains GooCubelets 2 + GooCubelets + GooCubelets: OCD
• 3 GooCubelets Games Vol.3(former GooCubelets: the Algoorithm) now contains GooCubelets: The Algoorithm + GooCubelets + GooCubelets: OCD
• 3 GooCubelets Games Vol.4(former GooCubelets: OCD) now contains GooCubelets: OCD + GooCubelets + GooCubelets: The Void
• 6 Crimson Duck games(former Sleengster) now contains Barclay: The Marrowdale Murder + Sleengster + Sleengster 2 + Torch Cave + Torch Cave 2 + Rage Parking Simulator 2016
• 6 Crimson Duck Games Vol.2(former Torch Cave 2) now contains Torch Cave 2 + Torch Cave + Sleengster + Sleengster 2 + Rage Parking Simulator 2016 + Barclay: The Marrowdale Murder
• 6 Crimson Duck Games Vol.3(former Sleengster 2) now contains Sleengster 2 + Sleengster + Torch Cave + Torch Cave 2 + Rage Parking Simulator 2016 + Barclay: The Marrowdale Murder
Anyone got any idea about what is happening to this two group(that should have no connession between them) and if their strange behaviour will in any way cause problems to users who won their games(I won Torch Cave 2, but that game now doesn't show up in the steam store as a single game, but as a repack of other games)?
Are they trying to replace Digital Homicide with their strange and shady actions?
EDIT: to make more clear my concern, with "shady" I'm talking about the fact that there has not been any official announcement and they changed an existing game into something else(that the buyer could or could not appreciate) instead of simply creating a new package product.
Maybe I'm just overworring about it, but I find it a bit strange that they didn't take a moment to advise their customers about their change and that it happened to two different groups.
Also, as reported from TheKibo, SG is not correcly recognizing which games the user own(as it happens with DLC) and allowing users who already own it, to take part in the giveaway.
