Do you give a Damned about this?
In Fear I Trust (just the base game) was previously bundled in the HRK Make Bundle.

Barter has a slightly different way of considering bundles. On Barter we have DIG Store, Steamground, HRK as bundles (and many other things that are not on ITAD), so that everything is indexed. As opposed to this, ITAD doesn't really care about these extra stores and since the chart pulls the data strictly from ITAD I would think it's better to leave it as 0 times bundled, given the fact that HRK make Bundle is not considered as "bundle" in there.
What is your opinion on this?

Technically speaking, I would consider Make Bundle to be a bundle since it mirrors Pick & Mix/Build a Bundle sales on other sites. I wouldn't consider the other sites with perpetual sales as "bundles" if the games can be bought individually, but since games are still considered bundled based on SteamGifts CV, it exposes an issue with how the term "bundled" has become so homogenized.
Personally, I think the chart would be more useful if it simply had a "Previously Bundled" column with a Yes/No and linking to Barter. The number of times bundled is a misleading number, since a multi-bundled game available only in premium/high-tiered bundles will likely have very few owners, while single-bundled games from IndieGala will be owned by the majority of collectors.
Of course the chart has been formatted the way it is for years, and whether that should change is a discussion for another time, but my opinion is that in technical terms Make Bundle would count as a bundle. Still, I think the more important thing to do is list below the chart if a game has been included in a perpetual sale such as on DIG or SteamGround (and Make Bundle for as long as ITAD doesn't count it as a bundle).

I think the number of times bundled is important. Then again, this number is different between Barter and ITAD since rebundles are considered differently.
I guess the main problem is that neither Barter or ITAD have a complete database of bundles. We managed to add a lot of the missing bundles from the past 2 years on Barter, and with the huge contribution of theemu and others, Barter was extended to other platforms too (for example GOG); however, it lacks old bundles, the ones released before 2015.
On the other hand, ITAD lacks a lot of information, not only in regards to the permanent stores mentioned above but also a lot of the Go Go / Otaku, HRK, G2A bundles etc... And not only that, but the information is a bit messed up when it comes to games having the same name, since unfortunately ITAD doesn't work based on the app ids as a primary key, but based the game name.
The script could rather easily be extended with a column linking to Barter, but we need to ask the admin first if this wouldn't overload their servers. Pulling the data from Barter would be a more difficult thing to implement though.
I will make a note under the chart that "In Fear I Trust" has been included in the HRK Make A Bundle.

Just un update for whom it may concern: all my Octave keys ended up being duplicate ones.
