Where's the Chapter II bundle?

[Burmins]

Hello, I haven't played in a fair bit because I wanted to buy Chapter II, and it's gone from where I bookmarked it. It used to be around 35 USD, and I'm not entertaining the thought of spending an extra $13 when I can use that on other holiday gifts. Apparently the HRE clothing pack or whatever it's called is gone too.
I looked on the website to see if I could buy from there, and it's only in a bundle with Chapter I, which I already own.

Nvm, did some digging. Here's a dev's reply to a previous thread.

Chapter I is still available as part of the Royal Edition; we also have a Collection bundle that includes the base game, Chapter I, and Chapter II.

We have a limited amount of space on our store page for bundles, so some consolidation was required.

This doesn't explain how it's gone from other webstore sites due to 'limited space'

I don't think it's steam's fault, but more of the developer's voluntary choice. I guess I'll wait to see if the new 'Collection' bundle will be on sale for the holidays, and buy some other gifts instead if it isn't.

I find it odd that this wasn't at least announced, but instead the deal was silently pulled from the stores. Also strange is that on the paradox website "Crusader Kings III: Chapter I and II Bundle" is being shown as 'also available at' directly to Steam, where it's instead called "Crusader Kings III: Collection". Looks like Paradox changed the pricing scheme.

The chapters bundle is more of a pre-order thing. Now that all the DLCs are out it’s gone.

I think it even increased in price at some point?
If you wait for all the DLCs to go on sale you might still save the same amount of money, though, idk

Thank you for clarifying, I thought it was a more permanent kind of bundle, but I do remember hearing that before about chapter I. Sucks that I missed it for the holidays.
I don't remember it increasing in price, but I do remember Chapter I was cheaper than Chapter II.
