Steam says this game is 90% off- Lists it at $60

[Gelfan_Dothea]

Like the title says, Steam lists this game for 90% off. I figured I'd buy it for $6. Look at the store page and it's $60 lol

[StrangeSpy144]

same thing with me but it was the New tales of the borderlands and it was $4

[Rivet Head]

90% off is the BORDERLANDS COLLECTION: PANDORA'S BOX, not Borderlands 3

Ah, I see it now. Thanks. Went ahead and took advantage of that. Still strange though. Buy Borderlands 3 for $60 or buy every single borderlands game, season pass, and DLC for $30.

Tell that 2K- they are the ones deciding the price.

For some reason, I can’t buy pandora. Steam gives an error. And yes I isolated my issue to this bundle. I want to buy it but it seems I can’t :(

[Gelfan_Dothea]

Do you already own it?

[Theftex]

Do you guys think the price will be lower during the autumn sale? its currently $32 for me..

I don't

Edit: However, I have realised that there is a problem with the price. In store search the bundle shows up as 252 TL but it is actually 246 TL.

Moreover the whole bundle without discount is around 2700-2800 TL but checkout shows it as 271 TL. There is something seriously wrong with how the pricing works in this bundle. Moreover this bundle is dependent to its content in terms of price which means even if you have a some game within the bundle, you can still buy this... but a quick check shows that in-bundle prices are seriously messed up in a way that shouldn't be possible for a "complete the set" type bundle

If you bought that thing then congratulations: You bought Borderlands 1 twice. For twice the price. Because in the description it lists the game twice for 30€ each, which is added to the total price of the bundle. Don't get fooled by the juicy "90% discount" label. You are paying full price for those three games, taken into account their age. For the same amount of money I can get Valves full library when on sale. At least twice... Probably including Alyx...

The thing is price content is heavily modified so they are actually unaffected (the extra copy does not effectively rise the price). In fact, it is those heavy modifications that renders the bundle not possible for purchase.

A “complete the set” type bundle should not have been modified to this extent. Showcasing season passes and other things as free is bound to cause some problems.

2K needs to fix this. Steam is aware of the problem but they can’t fix it as it is caused by the prices 2K decided.

[Stingray_tm]

So 2K is so incompetent that their price obfuscation tactics prevent them selling their game... They are so greedy that they essentially broke the system. That's a new one.
I guess they just won in capitalism. Congrats.

Look, guys, Steam doesn't allow you to purchase a game twice. If you purchase a bundle, and you already own content from that bundle, Steam automatically removes that content from the bundle and charges you accordingly. If you see multiple versions of a game it's because they are just that- different versions.

Not sure what all the confusion is about.

[EnderWツ]

its the bundle and the DLC madness of borderlands 2. 91% discount brings you to a full price AAA game price for sth that is ooooold. does that tell u something?

Sorry but the confusion i have is that the bundle includes borderlands 1 goty twice and with different prices... and i dont own it so idk if it will only charge me one time for bl1 or not

[Stingray_tm]

I can confirm, that the bundle includes Borderlands 1 GOTY (the exact same version with the link behind it leading to the exact same page) twice. It has to be the same version, because both are marked as being on my Wishlist and I only have the base games for Borderlands 1 in my list. But in my case it is listed for 29,99€ each. Which probably is added to the price total but I will not doublecheck by adding up 50 or so items manually. Which 2K is probably counting on...
