Expansion bundles

How do they work?
Does one have to buy the bundle and then buy the cradle content pack separately? Is there a bundle with all content?
I'm probably just dumb, but it looks weird.

This is what each bundle has from left to right

First: Just the EU4 DLC: Cradle of Civilization

Second: Cradle of Civilization and the Content Pack Cosmetic DLC that accompanies it

Third: Cradle of Civilization, The Content Pack and the CK2 DLC Jade Dragon expansion

If you want both the EU4 DLC and the content pack, go for the 2nd one, if you would also like the CK2 expansion at a discounted price, go for the 3rd instead

Third: Cradle of Civilization, The Content Pack and the CK2 DLC Jade Dragon expansion

Are you certain about this?
I promise that I'm actually this dumb and not just wasting your time. But the third one looks to me like it's only the two expansions without the content pack.
Again: not trolling, actually stupid.

The fact that its not highlighted is confusing me to, but you might be right in that it dosent have the content pack

I just did the math with the prices, based on this the 3rd one dose not have the content pack, which you would need to pay seperatly and extra for

So that's
19,99 + 14,99 +7,99 = 42,97
or
24,99 + 14,99 = 39,98 (~7% savings)
or
31,48 + 7,99 = 39,47 (~8% savings)

Gotta be real, for a preorder bundle this large outside of steam that's ... underwhelming might be a charitable way of putting it.

I think it's fairly straight forward to see what's in a particular bundle but I've highlighted it in case it doesn't make sense.

EDIT!
I just noticed that the bundle on the far right may suggest you get two copies of CoC, this is ofc not the case and I've asked it to be changed .

That added to the confusion, certainly. It looked like there might've been a mistake in there.
But it's rather more confusing still that in a progression of bundles increasing in size, one doesn't expect a previously contained item to not be contained in the next larger one.
And if I'm shopping for cradle and consider buying the biggest available bundle, I don't see much sense in the content pack not being included. At the very least it's counterintuitive. *shrug*

edit: anyways, thread can probably be considered resolved from my pov

Thanks for the clarification . It's straightforward (but looks much better now it's been revised), although I also had a "it's a bit odd that there's not just a bundle with everything in it" double-take. I'm not particularly worried about any discount, just less clicks and easier to make sure I grab everything. I'd be surprised if at least a few people who might want to buy the content pack might, in a hurry or not paying attention, just grab the bundle assuming its there when it isn't. Appreciate that lots of bundles may clutter up the store though .

The confusion for me is why there is no bundle that just includes everything being released on the 16th.
