Who is at fault here? Yes, Bethesda for its pricing, but shouldn’t Valve point that out for me (and the publisher)? Or is this a bug maybe? Usually buying such a multi package gives you (and me) a cheaper price than both individual products on their own, in addition to their individual special offering.
Yeah, this is weird. I already own the game and the package is still listed for €16,49. Normally it would say something like “complete your bundle” and list the price of the item you don’t own yet as the total price, but it doesn’t. So I guess this isn’t listed as a bundle and that’s what’s causing the issue. Probably Bethesda’s decision.
I think it is a bundle, but it ignores the individual prices. Usually the bundle price drop is added on top of the individual prices.
Could it be related to the EU handling fee?
Not really, because none other packages are affected. Usually a bundle has its own offering, where it adds offering on top of to the individual. An example would be how this works like in this (currently active) bundle, notice the 10%:
