This is beyond awesome, thank you for this work!!

I kinda like themed bundles with high discounts, I take them as "pay for the games the usual discount and get some extra similar games for free". Problem is I don't feel the bundle discounts are that big, the multiple versions make everything confusing, and the youtuber bundles are pointless clutter.

Agreed.
If you are going have these celebrity (?) bundles then let them be made by streamers who have more distinctive tastes in games.
They need to offer much more variety. From my perspective these celebrity bundles are far too mainstream, and thus very predictable.

The Situation: There's 1-2 games you want for a 75% discount on a bundle, costs you maybe $10

The Reality: The bundle has 30 entries and you only get a 75% discount if you get them all

The Ugly: There's 20 items, and the total cart would be $80+

The Stupid: The discount without the whole bundle is 50%

The Result: Skip it and come back when the games have a better discount.

All I really want is for Shadowgate, Stardew Valley, and maybe Shantae to go on sale. Would it be too much to ask if I could build a bundle of, "Pick any and get %off?"

When I go into a pick and mix candy shop, I don't get yelled at for piling on the licorice with the sugar coated peanuts. And if I don't want a foam banana, one won't be forced into my hand when I leave.

Actually some steam bundles do, some don't.

It's a new system so it's not as common yet since it's opt-in for the devs but yeah it's becoming more and more common every day for the Steam bundles to be 'Complete your Bundle' style bundles where you just pay for the games you don't own in the bundle. Nice change and possibly the result of GOG doing this ^^

That. So much that. :(

For me too pretty much. I wait for sales to get the best discounts. But none of these give it unless you buy loads of games you aren't interested in. There's a big difference between a £10 bundle and an£50 bundle for most people.

GOG will lose sales from people who aren't fussed about DRM like myself. But maybe they'll get more profitable business by selling higher to others.

If they are going to have such large bundles, they really should set a limit, like BYOB pick 5 or something. Although they used to do it with some bundles where as you picked up more games you got a bigger discount up to like 80%. I think that came up with like the D&D bundle.

I'm all for lots of fun ideas but they have to be feasible too.

*releases more bundles from their cages*

Bring back the Insomnia Promo :)

I don't mind the bundles. If I don't like the discount, I won't buy the game.
The (huge) overlap in youtuber bundles does annoy me as does the different price for the same game in different bundles (have seen 1 or 2). What also annoys me is that a bundled game actually becomes more expensive once you select it.
Next time just have a youtuber favorites bundle containing an x amount of games prefered by most youtubers.

When you want a game from a BYOB and you don't the full discount, you might be able to make a trade.

Amen to that. At the very least, for any given bundle can they put all of a title's related offerings in consecutive order? It's currently something like:

Game 1
Game 1 SE
Game 2
Game 2 SE
Game 3
Game 3 SE
Game 1 upgrade
Game 2 upgrade
Game 3 upgrade
Game 3 DLC

That's part of what was causing me pricing confusion when I discussed the Devolver 2 bundle earlier.
