    Most of my Steam library is shit I have no intention of ever playing. I’ve bought a TON of bundles that contain one game I actually want that justifies the entire purchase; one or two that look like they have some potential, so I’ll bookmark them for a rainy day; and like 15 digital turds that I now have the key to, so… why not, might as well activate.

    The ‘unplayed math’ is comically bad in my case.

      Fanatical, or whatever they used to be called had rediculous bundles and is the reason why have have almost 1000 games on my account. There were times that I would be interested in one game, and it was cheaper to buy the bundle from them than the one game on it’s own from Steam.

        It used to be called Bundle Stars though I dare say most would have been more familiar with Humble Bundle until the Fanatical rebranding in 2017.

          That sounds right. I used to buy a ton even before the rebranding. Looking now, they have a bundle that has Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen (currently $30 on Steam) for $20 with 32 other games, most notably Devil May Cry 4, which is still more expensive on Steam than the bundle. Crazy.

            Yeah, I’d love to know how they’re getting this business plan legit when even grey key sites can’t even match those prices.
