I would appreciate someone gifting me Crystal Caves while it's on sale. Those with OCD will understand my reasoning for asking for it rather than just buying it myself...
I can't bring myself to buy it at the 60% off price ($2.39) when I know its 80% off ($1.29) in the bundle.
So why don't I just buy the bundle? Because I don't want the entire bundle, I just want the one game because I remember playing it & loving it when it was first released nearly 25 years ago.
However, because the entire bundle costs $7.14, and that would technically get me the game I want at the 80% off price of $1.29, I also can't justify spending more than the $2.39 I'd pay if I bought it by itself.
Now, you may be thinking "But Chauncey, you just did a massive giveaway, surely you could buy the bundle at 80% off, keep Crystal Caves, and gift the rest?" Nope...my OCD-like tendencies prevents me from doing another giveaway just because I want this one game that I can't allow myself to buy for more than it's lowest possible price.
No joking, this is how my brain works sometimes, and it's extraordinarily difficult for me when I become so focused on such logic-based equations that get my head stuck in a stalemate.
