Well done GMG. This is pretty awesome, own most of them tho.

For me, I had exactly 5 games wishlisted from the selection choices and bought them first thing this morning — (Peregrin, Fahrenheit, Beyond Eyes, Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword, InnerSpace).
Great deal, thanks so much Lilly for posting this one. I'm sure most of the ones I wanted would have been sold out (as usual with GMG) if I'd waited for my usual check of bundle sites.

This is worth noting, a GMG rep on reddit said "to prevent abuse and ensure everyone gets at least one copy we've restricted the games in this promotion to one per account".
What this means is that if you already have a game in your GMG library you cant buy a copy from this deal, and you cant buy more then one copy of any of the games in this deal.
Sucks a bit if you wanted to buy extras of multiplayer games for your friends (as I was going to do) but I agree that it helps cut down on abuse from resellers etc.
Also a hint for anyone that might be getting $10 or more worth of games from this deal, if you buy a GMG gift card for the amount you're going to spend you'll get a few more bonus games as mentioned here https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/pLwjV/gmg-credit-free-games-with-purchase

You can (or at least, yesterday you could) buy multiple games though if you do it in the same 5-game bundle (just raise the quantity in the cart). Bought 2 WTFs (and Beat Cop, Injustice, and Lego Batman when it didn't let me buy Quarantine) ;)

I was just going by what the GMG rep was saying on reddit, might have been a glitch or he thought they had applied it but hadnt yet.
Worth a try then for anyone that wants multiples (especially handy for those multiplayer games), may give it a try myself later on. Thanks

Yeah, I know. (And I wasn't contradicting you, just expanding :)) What the GMG rep was saying was that I couldn't buy Quarantine because I had already bought it in the past; they're checking for that when you're adding a game to the basket, so I couldn't even add it because it already failed at that point.
But when you can put the game in the basket (because you never bought it before), you can then raise the quantity and they don't check at that point. (Whether GMG knows about that oversight and have fixed it by now, I don't know. It still worked yesterday after the GMG rep's reply.)

OP: According to the reddit post, the promo ends 31 Dec 2018.

Why does some of those games are shown as full value? Not only here in a chart, but also in creating a giveaway? And they are said to be bundled like 6 times for example. How?
Comment has been collapsed.
They've been featured in expensive bundles only, so they weren't added to the partial CV list.
In general, a game receives reduced CV when it's featured in a bundle for which you pay less than 5%of the total retail value.
In other words, these games that still give full CV will be demoted to partial CV only if the 5 pack that you buy has a retail value greater than $100 (since you pay $5 for it). For some combinations of 5 games, this retail value will not be reached, therefore these games might still remain "unbundled" from the CV perspective.

It's weird. IMO they should be reduced...
So... You tell me, that I can buy those mixes 5 times and I get 500$ CV? It's really bad. Cause I can literally instanly get 7 lvl from 6.00 doing that, paying just 25$/£. For 225 I can got 10 lvl instantly. 4500$ CV. Is this really good?
This only encourages people to do that.
EDIT: Maybe GMG doesn't allow to buy this infinite times, but people can (and will) use multiple account to buy those bundles. Some people have few credit cards. Some can even borrow one from a friend. And they can buy as many, as they want. If they even check cards if they were used before...
EDIT2: Also even one bundle means 100$ CV. Does this really is fair? From 0 to 4 level.

10 games from my wishlist for 10$, this is an amazing deal! ...But I've managed to fuck it up and pick a wrong game, not sure why but instead of InnerSpace I put Super Cloudbuilt (which I already own) in my cart lol. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for another chance to get it...

My bundle: Mount and Blade: Warband, Peregrin, InnerSpace, Next Up Hero and Beat Cop, good 5$ bundle.

Thanks! I don't see Evil Genius or Sniper Elite 3 (maybe already out of stock?), but I added Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and MGS V: Ground Zeroes.

Sorry, it was a mistake from my part.
The game that this comment reffers to is actually ADR1FT.

I don't see Worlds Adrift as part of the deal either.

That's OK. I thought it might be that but I wasn't sure. Anyway it motivated me to look through what else I needed at it turned out there were five that has only been in GMG bundles and I had missed them all so I'm pretty happy with the results.

Both MGS games are no longer available. All other games in the in stock list still appear to be available though.
Also your post says it only goes until end of 2018, but its Jan 1 and bundle is still up?
FYI on Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword - Steam reviewers are complaining that the game requires activation beyond Steam with the devs own servers but those servers are down?: https://store.steampowered.com/app/48720/Mount__Blade_With_Fire__Sword/
I guess they have additional DRM outside of Steam that they don't disclose?
I'm shocked how many high CV games there are here! How many bundles does it generally take for a game to get labelled reduced value and drop the CV?
I'm likely picking up: Stable Orbit, Lego Batman, WTF, Vermintide, Supercloud Bolt
EDIT: Note about bundle date

Thanks for the heads up, I moved tthe MGS games to the Out Of Stock section.
Initially, the bundle was announced to end on 31 Dec, but I guess they decided to extend it a bit... There's no date visible any more, from what I can tell.
And to answer your CV question: it's not about the amount of bundles a game was featured in, but it's all about the total retail value vs how much you pay for the bundle. For a game to be considered as partial CV, the bundle price should be less or equal to 5% of the total retail value.
Edit: after checking them again, it seems that there was an update in the meantime and the support team added them to the partial CV list.

I swear I double checked several full value games immediately before my comment, and they didnt have the partial value asterisk when checking game names in Create New Giveaway. So I'll take the blame for tipping off support, sorry fellow givers.
Since there were some $10 full value games were being bundled for $1 each & were knocked down a peg, this means that even 10% RV will merit demotion to partial value - Not merely 5%.

I'm a little confused about why Peregrin was added to the bundled list with this bundle.
If I'm not mistaken a game is added there if it is reduced 95% or more. Peregrin is 14,99$ so 5% would be 0,75$.
It was added to the bundle list with the start date 11th of December 2018, which would be the start date of this bundle.
The bundle costs 5$ for 5 games, which would be 1$ per game.
Three month ago there was "GamesAid 10 Game Charity Bundle Gamma" which costed 10$ for 10 games which also would be 1$ per game.
So where is the difference between those bundles?
PS: I don't care if it's bundled or not, I just want to understand the difference :)

Could anyone who bought this provide a SubId? Thanks!This seems to have been added by mistake. It was replaced with Killing Floor afterwards.☠ - Game was free at some time and does not grant any CV if given away.
Are you interested in knowing other ongoing bundles? Feel free to check out the new master thread!
Wondering what games you already own from this bundle? There's an extension/UserScript for that! It's called the RaChart™ Enhancer!
