Steam madness: 20 games from 2K for a cool $54 photo

[Editor's Note: Forgive me, but I simply couldn't not use that picture again.]

Don't you just love those massive bundles on Steam that bring you an entire developer or publisher's catalog of games for a super discounted price? Of course you do, because saving money is always fun.

This time, we have got an appropriately-titled collection from 2K Games called the "Huge Game Pack." Sounds like one of those sketchy fifty-in-one "game systems" you'd find at a flea market, doesn't it? The bundle includes stuff like Sid Meier's Pirates!, BioShock, Freedom Force, X-COM, and a million versions of Civilization IV.

In total, there's 20 different games, and while the normal running price for this grouping is $60, the price has been brought down to $54 from now until July 7. If it weren't for Shacknews, I probably would have missed spotting this deal, so thank them for catching it!

I don't know if $6 is much of a deal, still I might get this.

It sounded cool until you said that the normal price was $60. Whoops.

$6 off is not something to get excited over. Pass.

I already own the lion's share of those, sadly. Otherwise it's not a half bad selection for the price.

If one could gift some of the games and keep some of them, then that would be an awesome deal among friends. Is that possible?

Err did any of the above even go and look at the page on the steam store..

This package was just released yesterday so any talk of saving money is based almost entirely on the package price in comparison to the individual prices, not the extra discount. The $6 difference in the USA is just an extra temporary discount because it is a newly released deal..

So for me in the UK it is:

Individual price: £141.80
Package price: £39.99
Limited Time Discount. Ends July 7: -£4.00

Cost to you: £35.99
You save: £105.81

As EroThrax said, the story here isn't the 10% saving, it was the pack itself which was only just released. The discount is a pretty common one for preorders/new releases. Perhaps the news post couldbe changed to reflect that?

There's a bunch of great games in there for $54 or $60.

Yeah the package itself is normally worth $229, selling for $54. The news story has the prices explained poorly.

Just google "alamo drafthouse robocop" for larger quality images of the poster.

Just don't expect to buy a copy of the poster for less than $100.
