Wolfenstein Bundle?

[Sabrejimmy]

Why is the Wolfenstein bundle more expensive than buying each of the games separately? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

You mean the Wolf Pack, right?

$8.99 for all 3 games.
$6.22 for buying individually.

Think steam is missing some lingo here. Should be based on individual prices if it's cheaper. Seems like a scam to me if you can just get it cheaper buying individually.

I haven't seen any of the bundles on sale each time, Oddbox was £2 more then buying them all seperately yesterday and I've seen plenty more.. for some reason they just haven't been discounted so far.

No, it was the New Order and Old Blood Bundle. Buying them separately it would be $25, but the bundle was $45. Update: Weird, looks like they just removed it.

It's not a scam, as much as somebody in Steam not updating the offer (or the developers not agreeing to the offer). We used to get this sort of thing all the time when I worked in GAME and we sold bundle deals. From a pricing point of view, it makes absolute sense for the bundle to *always* be cheaper. But from a "product" point of view, a bundle was a separate product. This was done so we could track who was buying individual items and who was buying bundles.

As it was a separate bundle, there were times discounts were applied to individual items, but no one updated the bundle deal. Not a scam, just a little careless.

Having said that, I'm sure some developers leave it that way intentionally, as not everyone will be clued in to Steam's Sales or the discount levels that can be reached and some will automatically assume the bundle is cheapest and buy it.

£3.72 for games on there own or £5.99 for them as a bundle ... makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense lol

I can see Wolfenstein on the front page but if i click it the page is empty. Why is that?

I've seen this on a few other bundles too, came to the discussions to see if anyone else had noticed. Saw an indie bundle where individually priced was £10 and the bundle is £30. Also Max Mayne bundle is £15.86 individually but the bundle is £38.96. Tallying up the non-sale prices does equal the expensive bundle price so I guess it could be as amartin903 said and simply not updated. I'm gonna innocently believe that's the truth rather than companies trying to scam me :P

Just a little hint:
Sometimes bundles are updated with more games. Since you purchased a license for the bundle, you will get the new games free of charge. For "Franchise Packs" or Publisher Packs a few bucks more might benefit you in the long run.
Though not the case for those one I suppose.
