Bundle more expensive than the individual games combined

I didn't know this was possible: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/86905/

What're you talking about...buying those individually would cost you $0.98.

The bundle is $0.51...

For me, the bundle not only is cheaper than the two individual games, but also 30% cheaper than any of the two games within it. Which means buying the games individually would cost me almost three times as much as buying the bundle containing both.

Are you sure you have the right link?

Yes he has

Price of individual products: 0,46€
Cost of this package: 0,51€

May be a region pricing thing in which they calculated the discount wrong...happens usually on different bundles all the time for years.

Out of curiosty what's the dicsount % that you guys are seeing? The individual games -75% and the bundle is -87% for me.

But yes, it's likely just an overlook on the developer's part. If you want to contact them and let them know, they should be able to fix it.

Yeah different regions sometimes will have this bug on different bundles. For me on this bundle:
Price of individual products: 0.36$
Cost of this package: 0.15$

Yeah,it is the same here...but as i see...the individual games would cost 0,99€ each (without discount)...the bundle without discount has a pricetag of 3,99€.....^^

That's pretty silly. Definitely the dev/pub did something wrong when setting up the price then.

$19.99 Bundle and Orange Box name, or $7.16 bought individually?

And bundles pricing, an extra 10% off you can't have because you already own content. lol

The first one happens when individual games are discounted but the bundle itself isn't. It's silly, but not unusual to happen, especially when it's a package that offers no aditional discount.

The second one are personalised bundles which content can't be gifted. I guess it would be a bit difficult to remove the discount when you're only buying a single item. And people would whine all over the place too.

Hehe, true that's an even worse deal

I didn't know the prices and discounts were that different in $ versus €, especially since I sometimes read people complaining that it's not fair that games cost the same amount of euros than they do dollars, so I thought it was always the same price.

As some other people pointed out, us Europeans see:

Buy the GooBundle -87% = 0.51€
GooCubelets -76% = 0.24€
GooCubelets 2 -76% = 0.22€
Prices of individual products: 0.46€
Cost of this package: 0.51€

Reminds me of the GTA bundles. Before GTA V's release, the GTA Complete Collection used to cost less than the GTA IV Complete Edition which was part of it. It was like that for years.

Sometiems bundles are cheaper. But those so-called "dynamic" bundles are more expensive than individual items. And that's not only problem in Steam – blizzard game have that problem too.

Someone need to rework the algorithm.
