The answer is: millions. ;)
New gamers are flocking to Steam as well. There have been 27 million first-time purchasers — those who created a Steam account and bought a game, or downloaded a free game and made a transaction for the first time — since January 2016. That’s nearly 1.5 million [new] users per month.

I guess it's a common misconception, because we all have been on Steam for so long now. But it's not that insane if you think about it.
Let's say for example you start a Steam account on your 13th birthday. Worldwide about 330000 people turn 13 each day! That's a lot of potential customers.

Hope some people start spliting it so i can grab a bunch of those listed!

The phrase "games you CAN get" kinda smell for me. It might have been worth if we would know for sure what we're buying, since there's some high-level games there that even on sale would cost between 3 and 7 euro each, and if someone is missing a lot of them (waiting for them being bundled or 90% off...good luck with Konami and other producers) then it could have been a very worth bundle to grab them all now.
But, as usual, this smells like we'll receive one, maybe two high-profile games and then lots of trash.
And don't even mention charity. If anyone really feel charitable, then donate directly to whoever you feel like, that way they'll get 100% of it (minus transaction fees :P).

Ended up buying it. Castlevanias, Metal Gears, along with a handful of others that look good (Tower 57, Rocket Knight, War of Mine, RAGE, Next Up Hero, Beat Cop, ADR1FT) and a bunch of others that I don't own + a few games to give away sounds worth it. Never hurts that it goes toward charity either.

Thanks for the thread and to nhahtdh for the effort of making a nice chart.
If you want to replace the chart in the OP with the other chart version, which contains achievements and giveaway links (useful for quickly entering giveaways for the games you want hehe), I created a pastebin for you:
https://pastebin.com/CRqFxrg5
Also, if you decide to use this chart, please add a question mark after the CV; according to my calculations, the unbundled games should not be added to the partial CV list which would make the current calculated CV incorrect.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes I think so. One would need to have more than $1000 retail value of games so that they fall into the partial CV category.

Things might change now that the bundle has been split into 5

Yep, good idea. I'll start working on the thread then :)

I'm kind of tempted to buy it, if only for the Castlevania games alone. Does anyone know if Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is the base game only or does it also include the DLC?
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I decided to take the plunge and buy it.
The mystery bundle for me was Club manager 2016.
And Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 was the Digital Bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Or for easy copy-paste:
View this bundle on: [ITAD](https://isthereanydeal.com/specials/#/filter:id/6394;/options:pending) - [Barter.vg](https://barter.vg/bundle/3598/) - [Lestrades](https://lestrades.com/bundle/6226/)Comment has been collapsed.
Here's the line for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle:
**[Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle](https://store.steampowered.com/sub/45707/ "")** | No user reviews | - | - | [Giveaways](https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?q=Castlevania%3A+Lords+of+Shadow+2+Digital+Bundle)   | [0](https://isthereanydeal.com/specials/#/filter:search/castlevanialordsofshadowiidigitalbundle,&bundle "") | [29,99€ (price not available in USD](https://isthereanydeal.com/#/page:game/info?plain=castlevanialordsofshadowiidigitalbundle "")However, I would add a note about this region restriction on top of the chart (lots to scroll if you add it to the bottom), for example:
---
### Notice: ⚠️ Region lock ⚠️
**Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle**
Customers from USA (and not only) will not be able to activate it and will probably receive as replacement just the base game: [Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2](https://steamdb.info/sub/29147/apps/). ([source](https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/5n9om9F))
**Rocket Knight**
**Biozone **
---and of course, it would be great if you could keep an eye on further comments related to region locks and update this section accordingly.

I own so many games from this bundle so I wouldnt pay more then 10 EUR for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
On one hand from 50 games there are only 5 that are on my wishlist, the rest I own. Still seems overpriced even if I didn't own anything from it.
On the other hand it's supposed to be for charity so there is that. Also 50£ =\= 50$
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah. I normally don't care about the difference between £ $ and € but when we're talking this amount. If I must pay in £ because I am in sweden, it is almost 14$ more than if I could buy with dollars. Think that made my final decision of skipping this.

Looks like it's a key for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle if that's the case.
Comment has been collapsed.
Unless they have spare keys for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 Digital Bundle - retired (which is rather unlikely), you will probably get Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 (base game only). Or maybe they will come up with something else, since there will be a flood of people complaining rather soonish

Rocket Knight https://steamdb.info/app/19030/
Biozone https://steamdb.info/app/19080/
This is the reason, region restricted and yeah, they can't be activated unless you go to the country listed there or use VPN(but risky).
Comment has been collapsed.
I used the website activation page and both were added to my account. Store page says not available, but I am able to install them. I'm based in Finland. I don't use any VPN extension in my browser (that I know of anyway).
Ps. I didn't even try activating in Steam client. I rarely use that method these days.
Comment has been collapsed.
too expensive for me, and some games are missing because not available for my region like Metal Gear Rising Revengance, Rocket Knight, & Castlevania(all 3 of them). Besides, 5 games already gone Free anyway thus making it less valuable. Worse yet, I already own both MGS V. if haven't, I might be thinking twice or thrice to buy it because what I aim the most in there are Mount&Blade trilogy.
Comment has been collapsed.
That Rocket Knights, only available and can be activated in 4 countries is funny lol and they sell it in a bundle sold worldwide
Comment has been collapsed.
Castlevania Lord of Shadows 2 won't activate for me in Canada. I've submitted a support ticket to GMG for it. Hope they fix it.
By the way, my mystery game was OPERATION FLASHPOINT 2 DRAGON RISING.
Boast or commiserate about what mystery game you received.
Comment has been collapsed.
Got a quick reply from GMG:
We are aware that a few of the games included in this bundle are not worldwide keys.
This is not intentional, and we are working with our publishing partners to provide replacement keys for the affected games as quickly as possible.
Apologies for the inconvenience, however we will supply you with a replacement key as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your patience.
Comment has been collapsed.
Nay, but only because I have most all of these. I think if you were looking to build a library of games, this is a pretty good deal at 95% off full retail. Not all of these are good games, but they sure cover a wide variety of genres. There are a few gems in here for sure.
