Are any of these worth your money?
550 is no longer buyable, though still in the shop with 13+ days left.

DIG Weekly Bundle 558
Unfortunately these games come from Humble Choice and DIG most likely don't have the rights to bundle / sell them.
A few days ago, these games appeared on a Russian store for ~40 rubles each, in 50-100 copies. Someone seems to have 100-200 Choice subscriptions and listed them there, to sell them.
Today, a few hours before the bundle launched, the quantities for these games decreased by 30 copies each. I suspect it is DIG that purchased them and bundled in today's bundle. They usually do this (most of their games come from Russian retailers, and they have only few actual agreements with the devs).
However, if Humble Bundle manages to identify the person who had 100-200 Choice subscriptions, these keys will most likely be banned since this is against their terms of service.
These is the quantity comparison, with values from this morning and from after the bundle launched, together with their price in the Russian shop.
Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach: 469->439, $0.60
Take On Mars: 210->179, $0.55
Yoku's Island Express: 420->390, $0.48
Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest: 339-> 309, $0.47
Colt Canyon: 216->186, $0.68
Retimed: 353->323, $0.49
Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York: 86->56, $0.44
MOLEK-SYNTEZ: 78->48, $0.60
Sorcery! Part 4: 142->114, $0.40
Total: $4.71, DIG reselling them at $7.5

Yikes, thanks for the detailed breakdown. It's a shame what impacts the key resellers can have and maybe even impact price/quality of bundle offerings for the rest of us in the long run... Plus, it seems if you were to buy this bundle, you do so with high risk of the keys getting revoked.

For consistency purposes. If I don't do it, someone else will, therefore the outcome is the same.
But trust me, I don't like it at all, considering how shady they are - still, there are people who are interested in these bundles.
The topic of whether DIG threads should be allowed on SG or not has been discussed several times, and as you can see there aren't strong enough reasons for banning them from SG. They've been banned from Reddit GameDeals already, perhaps the same will happen on SG too in the future. Until then, I'll try to keep up with their bundles.

But trust me, I don't like it at all
For your overall enjoyment of this website and a positive outlook in life, I strongly advise you to stop doing things you hate just because you feel obliged to do them.
In the past, I myself was one to vote for the DIG threads to stay but at that time the site wasn't as bad as it is now. DIG gets shadier by the day and I really think SG should stop supporting them.
But, back to you: I'd really like to see you stop updating and/or creating threads for DIG now that I know that you don't even enjoy doing so.

That's also what people trashing seas and environment, abusing and swindling elders say.^^

I beg to differ. These threads are not made with the purpose of polluting the feeds or harm the digital environment, but to provide information (and keep the bundle deals database consistent). And information will find its way to SG deals, whether it's through me or through someone else. Back in the day, the DIG owner himself used to make these threads, and the bundle count and other things were constantly incorrect (purposely made this way or not - I don't know). But sure, if you prefer that kind of approach, I can easily stop with the DIG threads.
I'm certainly not trying to abuse anyone with them, and I'm sad to hear you're thinking this way (based on the comparison you made). They take a lot of time to manage, even if I count only 5 minutes per DIG bundle (let's not talk now about the 1-2h for each Humble Bundle / Fanatical Build a Bundle that I spend) it's around 46h alone for these DIG Weekly.

I know that's a huge effort and commitment, thanks for doing that.And thanks for your price research.
My comparaison is just to point that you could justify anything with that kind of statement, either supposedly good or bad, That's about relevency.
Now, does DIG deserve your time or anyone time ? I'd rather have people save their precious life time over contributing to shaddy websites.
It's up to you but there might be a need of balance.
People with the slightest interest could help with them.
Doing something over and over you don't like isn't sustainable.(for mental health at least, imho)

The thing is, even if 20-80% of the games are just resold from somewhere else at a big profit, DIG also both have "legitimate deals" (essentially by spamming the developer of literally every game that releases on Steam with an offer to bundle their title) and some 'own products'.
And because Valve loves DIG's efforts so much, those DIG-published high quality products don't even have to reach a certain sales threshold to become full +1 games and escape the dreaded Profile Features Limited that currently strangles perhaps a majority of valid (decent quality) indie games output.

really so games sold by dig can be +1 at some point without being sold well on steam itself? - have you got prof of this please
Comment has been collapsed.
They're +1 immediately on release without any user interest.
Just look at any, like their latest hentai trash game from the other day.
Even the DLC are "+1 DLC" while other, honest, hard-working, real developers have it much harder in that regard.
Example, on August 16 Road 96 released. With a couple thousand or so sales, it quickly got a +1 for the game itself, but if you look at the DLC:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1681090/Road_96_Prologue_eBook/
"Steam is learning about this downloadable content"
Meanwhile, look at any of things coughed up by these trashware spammers, who have Valve's stamp of approval and Valve's undying love:
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&publisher=DIG+Publishing 👈🏼 DIG
https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&category1=998&publisher=8floor 👈🏻 other junk, to show they're not alone

Uhm DIG games usually don't just get a +1 right away (if ever), same goes for many Indiegala games, it doesn't go that easy.
I can tell because i got 12000 games but only 9700 counting, and yes even from DIG, you can buy 7 bundles and not one giving +1.
