Bundles also seem to charge you the full price for the bundle even when you already own some of the items in the bundle, instead of doing the automatic adjustment.

I was hoping this would be a thing to at least help alleviate some price issues at launch, but thatās a feature in the store and they just left it off?
Ooh 
yikes

Even Randy Pitchford only asked 50% for Borderlands 3, and after a 6 months delay, not a year. So donāt blame steam for the reviews, blame the IO servers, the pricing and the confusing bundles.

I get that, but expecting everything to work in the first few hours of launch is maybe a bit much.
People waited a year to play this on steam but a day maybe is too much. Some even solely put in a bad review for the EGS exclusivity even though that is over now.

Because they get bags of money to be exclusive to an inferior storefront, yes. Even then, thereās a reason why a bunch of companies like EA came crawling back to Steam, and its because they sell way more on it than on other platforms.
And itās laughable/pathetic to not expect this game, that IO is charging full price for a year after its initial release, to actually function upon release.

Itās being review bombed because itās ridiculously overpriced, not to mention the game didnāt work for two hours. If developers donāt like that users can point that out to others, that only reflects badly on the devs.

Because the consumer can have an easier time to see the major issues with a game. Donāt get me wrong, more than half of them can be troll reviews but it should be a red flag and the buyer can do a bit of research because of it to see whatās causing the review bombing.
And how come trolls donāt target good games that donāt require an always online connection and is polished after years of being exclusive on the PS and constantly patched? 
No, most devs donāt want their games to be on Steam because of that 30% cut which they never consider that they get a full community board where people can discuss, report bugs, post screenshots, videos and guides and even have access to the Steam workshop and recommendations on the Store page. They never want to admit that.
I remember how people were reporting Hitman 3 bugs on Hitman 2ās Steam page when it was released. Good that Valve doesnāt allow this anymore.

And donāt forget the ridiculous scenario of the last year, with the ps4 server down for almost 10 days: I preordered the deluxe edition, but I couldnāt play the game properly for almost two weeks. And now this: honestly, I can feel the peopleās anger.
And yes, the package is way overpriced, but I guess I spended even more, by buying the Deluxe edition, and one month later that discutible DLC.

They make amazing games, but even Jasper Knight sitting in an ejector seat seems to do launches better than IOI.

I find it funny that people are upset a game that currently costs $59.99 on every other storefront also costs $59.99 on Steam, too. I donāt get the logic here of being mad that [Current Price] is literally still [Current Price]. Or how the big story of the day is how Humble Bundle, not EGS or Steam, is doing a sale of the EGS version. Itās like getting mad at Sony because Best Buy is doing a sale and PSN isnāt.
Now, the regional pricing stuff? Dreadful. Raising the price of the EGS Deluxe Edition? Sinful, cause that content was shit when it was cheaper and is even more gross now that it costs more. The bundles? Confusing. Still trying to say all of the poor DLC for Hitman 3 is worth a third of that price.
How hard was it to have basic $60 āhereās everything to dateā for each game and maybe, celebrating the Steam version, discount 1 and 2 to better get people interested in 3? Hitman 2 Gold is $100? Is this how you justify the Trilogy bundle? You can get that shit for $35 on key seller sites. I shouldnāt have to cross reference third party sellers to get the best deal, here.
All they have to do is just discount the older games, make the price of the passes parity to that of the older games, and just sell the new one.
Weāre still living in 2016 as of today. Constant disconnections, escalations abound, and price/bundle confusion.

People are upset about the regional prices. IoI raised it x1.5 from the EGS price before it was released on Steam. And yes, the price went up in EGS as well. I canāt figure out why.

I can only speak for myself, Iām not upset, just a bit disappointed maybe. Every other company who took the Epic deal offered some discount for a week or two when they relaunched their game on steam. But itās okay, itās their choice, but the regional prices was mishandled a year ago too. Also that confusing and highly misleading storepage has to go.
