every game is cheaper in russia, but most of them don't get over 95% discount. Let's say game is 50% cheaper in russian store - it will still take 90% discount for it to be 95% discount. Sure - some games will fall into this cathegory but saying "every game does" is a massive exaggeration.

A lot of games are 65% cheaper, for them an 80% should be enough

it's not. 65% cheaper with 80% discount is still only 93% off so no bundle list. For a game to get over 95% discount (at least 95.1%) and get to bundle list with just 80% discount base russian price need to be at least 75.5% cheaper than US price - sure - such games exist, but again - there are just few of them, not "every game" like you suggested.

The Can't Stop Laughing Bundle for US$1.50 offered two keys.

Well **** if I know. I don't update the list, I just saw mention of it elsewhere, so I'm trying to be helpful.
Its in the bundle list no matter your complaints, deal with it.

Also it's been very discounted a few times. I picked it up for pennies on the dollar about a year ago.

Well - to elaborate on what Starlynk said above, it may have been 95%+ off in Russia and region-restricted, but because it's >95% off in one region, it gets put on the bundle list anyway - unfortunately, there have been multiple cases of different games in the past where (some) Russians have abused >95% off discounts in region-restricted giveaways to quickly amass non-bundled CV...

I do remember there were threads asking why X game was in a bundle and it was exactly the same reasoning as what I suggested above, unfortunately I can't find them at the moment :(
jatan or SleepyCat did start or comment in a few such threads though

It has been for a while now, it just doesn't get noticed as much because most games that go on sale for 90% off typically have been bundled already.

It's bundled because it dropped @ 90% discount. Russia has a base discount of 71.2% against US price.
1 - (1-0.9)*(1-0.712) = 97.12% discount, over the 95% discount ruling here

According to this "rule" everything that goes on 80% should be bundled xD

yep that's more or less the russian difference (60-65)
so if a game is 100$ → 80% → 20$ → 60% → 8$ < 90% → bundled
I don't think is the best way to handle russian's price abuse, it will discourage to give away AAA games not really bundled, but well that's it.

Maybe yesterday they added it. I didn't create the giveaway of this game. I am just curious where?
