I think I got it for free on PlayStation+.
I would say that it is worth $20-$30 and I'm a cheapskate.
FWIW, Control standard and Ultimate have been free before, check your libraries before purchase.

FWIW, I think you are confusing the new 'gifting' policy to supersede entirely the behavior I am discussing. Which that too takes into account games already owned.

"The discounting feature works as it should: if you buy a bundle for someone who already has some of the games featured in it, it'll cost you less overall. I've tested this myself with some Steam friends and this Ghost Recon bundle—for those who don't have any of the games, it would cost me £43 to gift it. For those who already have some of them, it's cheaper."
For example, unlike Control / Alan Wake above, The Far Cry series is also on sale, I own all of the Far Cry's (via Steam) except 1 and 6, Steam is NOT trying to charge me for the complete series, including the games I already own, forcing me to "gift" the extra keys (again, like unlike Control / Alan Wake is....thus my comment), but is only attempting to charge me for the remainder, which is just FC1 and FC6, the only titles I do not own via Steam DRM.
Copied and pasted from Steam at 10:40AM 1/21/2026:
"Buy Far Cry Bundle BUNDLE, 7 of 9 items from this bundle are already in your library. Buy this bundle to save 10% off the 2 items you don't yet have!"
Copied and pasted from Steam at 10:40AM 1/21/2026:
"Buy Far Cry Bundle BUNDLE, 7 of 9 items from this bundle are already in your library. Buy this bundle to save 10% off the 2 items you don't yet have!"
So those games aren't discounted from the bundle?!? So the bundle is isn't $62.98 but discounted for me to $22.48? Unlike Alan Wake (per my comment) which only gives the option to buy EVERYTHING and "gift" the duplicates?
And can you "clearly and accurately" tell me if "10:40AM 1/21/2026" isafter Steam's "last sale" which ended Jan 5th? Last I checked, today is after 2 weeks ago, but Albert Einstein did suggest time is relative....maybe you are closer to a black hole than I am so your time is moving more slowly
More "clear and accurate" evidence attached.... please "clearly and accurately" explain why I just heard a mic drop....
Again:

Just because you walk around with a copy-pasted message doesn't mean it's valid.

LOL, let me guess, I traveled back in time to before the Steam sale ended and screenshotted that so I could prove you wrong....oh, and I photoshopped the dates too....and I hacked steamdb's price history as well
Control is the only item you don't have, at $3.99.
Total price for the bundle is $6.26.
It's literally the OPPOSITE of a pro-rated discount. You'd be better off just buying Control on its own.
The Far Cry bundle is literally the normal price of the two missing items, minus a 10% bundle discount. You're not getting a pro-rated discount for items you already have, like it used to be.
Like I said, they STOPPED doing this starting with the last sale, continuing to present day. You seem to be obsessed with the 5th for some reason.

Lets....speak....slowly....
Control is $3.99. The bundle is $6.26.
I own all the games BUT Control. So I should pay $3.99 - 10% (what you think "prorated" means), not $6.26. My Far Cry example shows that bundle behavior is still alive and well as of 1/21/2026. Post Steam Sale as well.
And yes, "It's literally the OPPOSITE of a pro-rated discount"....DING DING DING!!!!! Thus my complaint. And why I compared and contrasted with the Far Cry bundle. Again, that discounted "pRoRaTeD" price is still "clearly and accurately" active today for Far Cry.... not "stopped." Took you long enough to catch up but I knew we could get there! *And please, see screenshot(s) if you are still confused.
Frankly, either you have misunderstood my comment, yet still felt like having a tantrum, or you've moved the goalpost to the planet Mars because you are trying to save face. Honestly either is pretty sad.
Good luck with whatever you are going through and feel free to have the last word, I'm sure you'll need it.

If you weren't getting ANY discount, then the bundle should be $3.99. In the past, the math would've been more in your favor -- total price of the bundle, subtract the discount, then subtract the total of each game you already own. So the bundle would be cheaper than $3.99, since you own the rest of it. It might only be by a few pennies or dollars, but still savings.
Now they're not doing that anymore.
In some cases, even if you already own a partial bundle, they're even charging you MORE for the bundle than if you just bought the games a-la-carte. Like you LITERALLY screenshotted for Alan Wake + Control bundle.
You seem to be the one confused here.
