Owned Games not counting towards Discounts anymore.

[Vambran]

In the past if you owned like say half the games in a discounted bundle , steam would only charge you for the games you don't own. Now that option seems to be gone. the only work around is buying the games 1 by 1. Noticed it with the Stardock sale on right now.

There are two types of bundles. If there is no discount for owned items, that was the publisher's decision.

Depends on the way the publisher set up the bundle. Stardock uses both "buy complete" and "complete your set" bundles. Ashes of the Singularity : Escalation has the former, GalCiv 4 has the latter.

Nothing new, mind.

There's two kinds of bundles devs can set up. One has a fixed price and the "complete your collection" kind is the one that accounts for owned games.

If the bundle you look at doesn't, it was set that way by the dev

Wrong topic.

[Tolkien Book Fan]

The terminology is "bundles" and "packages". "Bundles" reduce the price for products that you already have. "Packages" don't, and one has to be careful in checking which one is being offered. The Stardock sale is a Package, not a Bundle.

Funny. It gives me this answer:

It sounds like you've encountered a change in Steam's bundling policy. In the past, Steam allowed users to get discounts on bundles based on the games they already owned, charging only for the new games in the bundle. If this feature seems to be missing, it may be due to a recent update or a change in how Steam handles bundles.

Here are a few things you can consider:

1. **Check Steam Support/Updates**: Look for any announcements or updates from Steam regarding changes to their bundling system. Sometimes these features change based on user feedback or other considerations.

2. **Bundle Purchase**: If the bundling option isn't working, purchasing the games individually might be the only way to go, despite it being less convenient.

3. **Community Forums**: Check forums and community discussions on platforms like Reddit or Steam Community. Other users may have noticed the same issue and could offer insights or solutions.

4. **Contact Steam Support**: If you believe this is an error or if the feature was supposed to be retained, consider reaching out to Steam Support for clarification.

If you're a frequent Steam user, keeping an eye on changes can be essential, as updates can occur without widespread announcements.

In other words, ChatGTP doesn't know what it's talking about. Whereas Tiger, does.

No, I used it to confirm you're lying with the intent to disparage another user.

At least try to make sense when you're attempting to troll. I've met two year olds who troll better.

Replying to bad actors all the time and giving them attention does NOT drive them off, you know?

if everyone you reply to is trolling maybe the issue isnt with the other person

I'm glad you're starting to understand the problem with your posts. There's still time for you to change.

But it does make a boring day of work go faster.
