Donners Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 For anyone who hasn't seen it, a bunch of GDS games are among 29 games in a bundle for just $US1. https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/dollar-viva-bundle The GDS games are TEW 2010, WMMA 3, Wrestling Spirit 3 and Comic Book Hero. There are a few other management games in there, plus a bunch of hidden object games. All are Steam keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 And this is all legit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 The publishing group for us on Steam sometimes puts some of the older titles in these "bundles". We don't really have any control over it - but it is legit. Yet another reason why we choose not to directly sell our new titles with a publisher on Steam.

Blackman Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Good god, how embarrassing that these great titles got packed alongside these games that I assume are complete and utter sh/t. Are they from the same publisher? How else is it going to be divided equally? However, it's not illogical to assume it might lure several people to come here and play the successors. Selling Wrespi3 for a couple of cents doesn't make sense, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donners Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Actually, a number of those games are quite well-reviewed. They’re a niche just like the GDS games are a niche. As for publishing on Steam, that is a lot easier now than it was a few years ago - for better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullMETAL Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just picked up the bundle myself; what an absolute steal for some fantastic simulators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartman Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 And they're all 5+ years old too. It's not like anyone should really be buying these games over the newer ones anyway. Even the best 3 in the bundle (TEW10 and the two Wolverine Studios games) are vastly outdated even with the next version that is also out of date (13 is infinitely better than 10). Using this as a reason to never sell on Steam is just disingenuous. Now, if they were selling any of the new Wolverine Studios games or TEW16 for a $1 or $10, you'd have an argument.

smartman Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Lol that is kind of funny. A deal like this seems like a no brainer to get, but honestly I'm starting to think it is a bad idea. Do you really trust giving credit card information to a random website on the Internet? Just because they didn't hack some peoples' accounts it doesn't mean they won't hack anyone. It sounds like one of those too good to be true deals. I've bought from them before with zero issues. They used to be Bundle Stars before changing their name to Fanatical because they wanted to be viewed more as a general game store and not just "come here for cheap bundles". They're on Steam too so they're not a fly-by-night company. The one I'm terrified of buying from is GoG who is based in Russia, and yet tons and tons of people seem to do so safely. And there are pre-paid credit cards you can get if you want to be truly safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like one of those too good to be true deals. Hardly a random site; they've been around for six years and have direct deals with publishers (unlike dodgy grey market sites like G2A). For most people, the deal is not that great at all; they're just to add to Steam game counts and increase rank at Steam Gifts. The one I'm terrified of buying from is GoG who is based in Russia, and yet tons and tons of people seem to do so safely. Poland, actually, and they're owned by CD Projekt - makers of the Witcher series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryland Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Several posts were deleted from this thread because they included talk of piracy, which we have a long standing zero tolerance policy on, not because they were saying things about elicense.
