As you can see, to this day we still have a handful of different bundle platforms. After all, buying bundles is still a good way of saving money on a bunch of games and enlarging your library, which also comes in handy in times of pandemics and lockdowns. And some, like Indie Gala bundles, did not change much about their structure. Others introduced 'build your bundle' which allows customers to pick the games from the list of titles and give them more control. Some of them, like Bundlestars, went through rebranding and instead started offering Fanatical bundles. It is a very affordable way of giving a try to some games one would normally not buy on its own. Nonetheless, Steam game bundles still manage to maintain their popularity among PC gamers. This trend commemorated the decline and consequent disappearance of Indie Royale, Bundle In A Box, Fliying Bundle, Bink Bundle, Games Rage, One More Bundle. As the time passed, it became too costly to make bundles with popular games, while people were not as interested in bundles consisting of unknown games. However, bundle system proved to be so popular that other distributors, like Indie Gala, Indie Royale, Groupees adopted this trend and soon the gamers had plenty of bundles to choose from. But the demand and the abuse of the pay-what-you-want model were growing so rapidly, that Humble had to put the minimum value of $1. The more users decided to pay for that bundle, the more 'beat-the-average' bonuses were received. It introduced the “pay what you want” mechanics, according to which you could pay the price you thought was the most appropriate. The tradition of offering game bundles was pioneered in 2010 with Humble Bundles.
