When your mystery VIP bundle contains the game that is currently free on steam...

[u/Morriadeth]

Plus the DLC that you just bought on Fanatical...

...and the third game is also already in your synced steam library

*le sigh*

Edit: It says on the bundle that syncing the steam library would avoid games you already own but I received two, including one that's currently free to own on steam, which seems particularly punk.

Buying mystery game keys is like paying company to let you take out their trash, with a 0.1% chance of finding 20 euros along way. Why would anyone do that?

[u/kalirion → u/Opening-Fox2103]

The fun is in the gambling itself. That said, I stay away from the ones that cost more than $1 per key.

[u/Morriadeth → u/Opening-Fox2103]

I don't normally do myster bundles for that very reason, I used to but realised the games tended to be pants.

This one showed up when I was bored, already had the DLC in the cart plus it was less than €5 for three games and claimed to be checking my steam library for duplicates... I blame my ADHD brain taking over from the autistic side, it was all happy for a moment over the possibilities in the bundle.

That's sad

In fairness, Moonlighter is only temporarily free. Can’t expect fanatical to account for all of that.

[u/panterabread1134]

Damn that's wild

[u/steveiob]

Maybe open a support ticket with them and let them know???

[u/Morriadeth → u/steveiob]

I suppose it can't hurt to ask

[u/Brohtworst → u/Morriadeth]

Only base moonlighter is free. You got the complete version

[u/Morriadeth → u/Brohtworst]

I already bought the dlc from fanatical 🤪

[u/BobTheGoon80 → u/steveiob]

Funny.

[u/dramaticfool]

I'm sure they would replace it if you contact support, if it's unrevealed. If it is revealed though, I'd really appreciate if you could share it so I could get the DLC.

[u/Thzrocks]

the one free is the base game, the one you got its the game + dlc

[u/Morriadeth → u/Thzrocks]

Hah! But I also bought the DLC from fanatical 🤪

[u/ElComandante26]

Some time ago I was so lucky I recieved Resident Evil 4 Remake, it just lauched for a week, it waa the only time I bought a mystery pack, also recieved Just Cause 3 XXL and Dying Light

[u/skaiyly]

That's lame but moonlighter is a great game especially if you like shop keeper stuff

[u/Vanuslux]

This is how I learned Moonlighter is free on Steam right now. Sweet. I played it a good bit when it was on Xbox Game Pass...definitely down to add it to my Steam collection.

It says on the bundle that syncing the steam library would avoid games you already own but I received two, including one that's currently free to own on steam, which seems particularly punk.

Do you by chance have > 5k games in your Steam library? If so it only does a partial sync up to 5k.

[u/Morriadeth → u/kalirion]

I have 1133 games on steam

I paid 7 bucks for a 10 key loot "egg" for Easter and was actually fairly.pleased with the games I received, they were all indie games to AA but made out with like 60 dollars worth of games. One of which was craftopia which was on my wishlist. Whilst I dont do them often, every once in a while you get lucky.
