Hydroid Prime Access Pricing - Tentacle Swarm Bundle
Hey Steam Tenno,

Just going to drop this quick PSA here regarding some Steam pricing irregularities for the Hydroid Prime Access Tentacle Swarm Bundle. As some of you may have realized, Hydroid Prime Access was temporarily listed at a price much lower than the usual listed price of other Prime Access Bundles. This was the result of a pricing error and was not an intended discount.

We are working with Valve to correct the pricing mishap. We're not quite sure yet what caused it to be honest, but we're working away on resolving. It should be resolved very shortly! 

If you or someone you know purchased the items at the unintended prices, we are still evaluating the depth of the issue. Check back in this thread for further comment today on our plans for those purchases! 

EDIT: This price issue occurred due to circumstances beyond our control. We will not be acting to remove any items at this time - buy a lottery ticket today.

I missed it too. 

But good on them for not reversing the purchases made. 

 

And does anyone else know what they mean by the last sentence in the EDIT?

People who bought games are lucky
So it means to buy lottery tickets.

Well, it's only right that they let the people that bought it at that price have it at that price. 
After all, I'll bet most people thought it was just a really awesome unannounced steam discount. 
Besides, it costs the company nothing as all that stuff is in game assets with no real world value.

could have bought it but I'm really not interested in it. good for those who got it :)

Wow, that's like a 94% off discount. I bet those who were able to take advantage of this pricing error felt incredibly lucky.
