Bug: Steam Store incorrectly shows bundle discount as individual game discount
This was just mentioned in a discussion thread.

Currently, the Daedalic Armageddon Bundle is on a 90% discount.

ISSUE

I have one of the games in this bundle on my wishlist, The Wispered World Special Edition. I received an email from Steam[i.imgur.com] telling me this game was now 90% discounted, which is incorrect. None of the individual games in the bundle has a discount - they're all on full price.

Yes, getting the bundle for 110NOK instead of the single game for 140NOK _is_ cheaper. It's not 90% cheaper, though, so displaying the "-90%" label and the _bundle's_ original and discounted price instead of the _game's_ individual price is misleading. If you could tag the game with a "bundle discount" label instead of the "-90%" label, it would be much more informative.

Not all of the games in the bundle display the misleading 90% discount, though. Two of the games in the bundle (A New Beginning - Final Cut and Edna & Harvey: The Breakout) still cost less individually than the discounted bundle does, and these are correctly shown as not discounted. See the screenshot of [http://store.steampowered.com/search/?developer=Daedalic+Entertainment&category1=998%2C996&sort_by=Price_ASC] at [http://i.imgur.com/aQRRWvI.png].

The "specials" list shows the same thing.

STEPS

From the Store main page, click Specials, "see more", select Windows, Games, Packs (or go to [http://store.steampowered.com/search/?category1=998%2C996&os=win&specials=1]), and search for "daedalic".

RESULT

The bundle, and 9 of the 11 games in it, are listed there with 90% discount, original price 1100NOK and discounted price 110NOK, instead of their individual non-discounted prices. Screenshot at [http://i.imgur.com/7NYq8fz.png].

EXPECTED RESULT

The games that were only discounted as part of the bundle should display their original non-discounted prices, and get a label saying "bundle discount" or similar. Alternatively, the games could show their original prices along with the bundle's discounted price, and a discount label with a proper percentage (like "-20%" in this case). The label could have a different color than the standard discount label and/or be tagged with the word "bundle" or a symbol to clearly mark this discount as a bundle discount only. "(-20%)" or "-20% !" or "-20% ~" might work.

Games that have their own discount in addition to being part of a discounted bundle, should of course still show their individual discount.
