Why can't I see some bundles? they redirect me to store home

[Nacho]

for example Postal bundle or serious sam complete pack, when I search those terms on steam, I can see the bundles on the list, with their corresponding prices. However when I click on them, nothing happens, and I get sent back to the store main page.

Any ideas?

That's usually caused by them not being available in your region.

Argentina, and no, it doesn't let me view it

I know it is available in your country.

Do you get an error message or anything?

No, it just sends me to the main store page, like I said it's strange because when I search for "serious sam" the bundle appears and I can see its price, usually when its restricted it doesn't even appear I believe. Or at least it clearly states that you can't buy it in your country.

You may want to make a post in the game hub for Serious Sam Fusion 2017 and have someone from Croteam look into it.

Thanks, I'll try that. Btw, how do you know which countries are or are not bundle restricted?

The SS pack is not restricted in any country listed here... https://steamdb.info/bundle/2634/

some bundles are inaccessible during sale periods like the current Lunar Sale.
It's to prevent the price from falling lower than intended.
They always redirect to the main store page in this case. After the sale period, the bundle should return to normal.

The price is ARS$ 310,32. That is no where near the lower limit cutoff.

Of all the possible anwers I always thought this was the case, because indeed whenever there is a sale I can't seem to access these bundles, but otherwise they work completely fine, already verified it after the winter sales.

Still it's strange that they even appear to me while searching, with price and everything. If there's already a set price (ars$ 310,32) then why not let me buy it? How does steam decide what's the lower limit? Of course other bundles work fine during sales, the problem is with just some of them.

I think I found the reason, but I'm not entirely sure, so some input would still be nice. I think it is because I already own some of the serious sam hd games. Shouldn't it clearly tell me this instead of awkwardly redirecting me to the store? Would have been a lot easier instead of searching all around the internet why this was happening to me.

Also, the earliest time when I tried to get the bundle was when I ONLY owned serious sam revolutions. So because of only owning one game out of 13 possible, I'm punished and forced to buy the other 12 separately? It's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing to do.

I can't even buy them as gifts for other people because I can't even access the page.

If I already own some games in a bundle .. It will

1. Show the games I own but offer no discount for them.

or

2.. Show me the games I own and give me a greater discount because of that.

I've never not been able to go to a bundle page.

I can see the "complete your collection" bundles, like killing floor for example.

But I'm almost sure that I can't see the non-"complete your collection" (dont know what to call em) bundles. For example its happening with serious sam and postal, I already own some of the games and it redirects me to the store. Which is strange and shouldn't happen, because I can't even see what the bundle contains or gift them to a friend. But it's happening.
