If you buy into the mystery bundle

You're just going to get absolute garbage,you know you are.

You buy it?

The last one prior to this was the Martian Mystery Bundle. Read what people have to say about that one.

Whenever a "Mystery bundle" shows up on Fanatical, I stop buy anything from them until it goes away. They should be called "keys we couldn't sell" bundles.

The wording of the offer is very carefully constructed:

=-=-=
It's back, and there are even more games!

What festive treats will you find - it's time for Fanatical's next big bundle, and this time, it's a mystery!

The Fanatical Winter Mystery Bundle is the go-to place to warm up your Steam library with a selection of fantastic AAA and Indie titles. Using the slider, you can choose between one ($1) and 10 games ($6.99) that are randomly selected.

---> Translated - Indie titles means literally anything at all. If they put two AAA titles in with 10 million indie titles, they've fulfilled their obligation. It's a gamble, and they are not posting odds.

From a little as one dollar, you could bag yourself a wintry wonder. Will you get an award-winner, a game from a blockbuster movie franchise, or a critically-acclaimed title... who knows!

---> Or a sack of flaming dog poo - it's random. Agains, odds of winning are a mystery. Historically, Mystery Bundles yield crap.

Plus - as part of your order, you will receive a coupon via email to get 15% off your next game from Fanatical. You will be able to use this until the 31st December at 11:59 PM. It cannot be used on bundles, pre-orders or Star Deals.

---> Here is the value - if you plan on buying a cart full that equals that is $50 or more, this bundle pays for itself (excluding for pre-orders, Star Deals, and bundles). Buy it with low expectations, then use the coupon. (You have til December 31 to spend that Xmas cash with a 15% off coupon!)

Please note: You may receive repeat Steam keys if you place multiple Mystery Bundle orders

---> You definitely will, if you buy multiple bundles.

When they did their last mystery bundle, I bought a few and got nothing but junk. There is no guarantee that you'll get a AAA title. Now you know. Good luck.

I've tried out the Winter Mystery bundle once and among other things, I got Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor Game of the Year edition and Mad Max. There are definitely good games in there.

Someone needs to sue their ass big time to make the odds fully visible, explained and detailed! It's blatant false advertising! I won't be buying anything from them anymore, they simply lost a customer here and I'm pretty sure I am not the only one. There are plenty of other platforms for bargain keys and bundles, I'll make sure to use them instead.

Humblebundle for ex. There are tons of websites selling keys, some in bundle, some just individual keys, my point being Fanatical is NOT the only online seller.
