Fanatical team up with JSAUX again and you can win a Steam Deck

By - | Views: 25,161

Feeling lucky? Fanatical and accessory brand JSAUX have teamed up for a bundle of games, and with it a chance to win a Steam Deck and a whole lot of extras.

It's a bit of an odd one though, as it's for their Mystery Egg Bundle where you don't actually know what games will be included, so this is really spinning the wheel here. You can select up to 20 mystery items they say features AAA titles and hidden indie gems. Plus there's a chance to find a golden egg where you get an extra helping of games worth "$1,000". On top of that there's the chance to also win a 512GB Steam Deck plus over $100 of accessories from JSAUX.

You can select to buy the bundle with 1, 5, 10, 15 or 20 games. The pricing is:

  • 1 - £1
  • 5 - £4.39
  • 10 - £6.99
  • 15 - £10.29
  • 20 - £13.49

Check out the bundle here if interested.

Right above every article, it notes we include partner links with a link to more info.

It's tempting, but I wish we could at least look through the pool of potential games...

That's because Fanatical only offers referrals through an ad trafficker (cj.com, as evident in Ethics Policy Liam mentioned), which uses randomised domain names to bypass adblocks. Alas, the community is up to date on those and add them to blocklists, which is why uBlock blocked the link.

Thankfully, the URL itself is URL-encoded in the URL (what a waste of 54 characters!), so whenever I find a link to a Fanatical listing on GamingOnLinux or IsThereAnyDeal, I simply take the actual URL-encoded URL and work from there.

This is an unlucky position to be in, considering Linux users are in general more conscious of adware and spyware, and the entire campaign is literal gambling to begin with.

I would advise to check out FastForward (formerly Universal Bypass), but since I just now remembered to check out that it has been made available again after being removed for the millionth time, I can't confirm if it bypasses the dpbo--whatever domain.

Finally, to GOL editors: it should go without saying, but I wrote all of this for those who wouldn't be interested to go through some CJ redirect anyway. I do respect the project, but it's annoying seeing this kind of thing here.

I rarely buy games these days as I have such a backlog and I'm usually playing Valheim anyway but I was intrigued by the "lottery" aspect. They say a fool and his money are soon parted

So I went for the 10 egg bundle and ended up with three games I might eventually play - Fallout 3, Doom II and The Wild Eight (not that I've checked whether they're Proton playable. And I played Doom II back in the day). The top tier game was "Dead Island Definitive Edition", which I already have. Another six I have no interest in.

If anyone wants to swap keys for Dead Island Definitive Edition, Blazing Sails: Pirate Battle Royale, Home Sweet Home, Slime-san, Chess Ultra, oO or Crumble then PM me!

p.s. I love chess but Chess Ultra doesn't even have a top down 2d view, which is the only way I can play on a screen.

A little point of note, from the bundle page;

Quote If you have previously purchased a Mystery Easter Egg Bundle you will automatically qualify for an entry into the draw for a chance to win one of two Steam Decks and accessories.

So, if you already bought something from this bundle when it first went up, which was before the competition was added, you've already been entered retrospectively.

I understand some people won't like it and will want to use workarounds or not click the link at all, that's fine. However, GOL needs continuous funding to operate and the affiliate partnerships are pretty essential so no plans to change. We're fully open on it, with as previously commented, all articles have the statement and link to more info right at the top.

Thanks for the link!

I think I already have at least half on that list. There's a very big overlap with those games and the ones Epic have been giving away for the last year or so...

Usually there's a Reddit post where people post what they got. And usually these mystery bundles aren't worth it.

Same over here. Most of the games fit into two categories: games I have and games that I don't want.
