While I was late coming, I tried anyway in spite of the odds...

I think they have been taken already...

2 were already in my library (1st and 3rd), and the other 2 came up used.

Checked the other two and they were already activated as well. Most likely by people that don't even have an account here. For some reason the presence of keys seems to bring in people that have never heard of Linux. :D

Gawd. I decided to have a flutter on the Fanatical Festival Mystery Keys Bundle, based on the fact that (a) I had an additional 10% discount voucher, (b) I'd seen on Reddit numerous people reporting titles that would appeal to me if I got them....

and then....

I bought the 10 key mystery bundle and... 3 keys I didn't already own, 7 keys already owned. The 3 keys were junk to me. The duplicates weren't much good either. [Also, as a warning, the Mystery keys don't let you know what the game is, you need to claim it first, which reveals the key - before you can see the game title. This irked me!]

However, some of the other Fanatical bundles are pretty decent. I got Tabletop Bundle tier 1 (Smallworld 2, etc) and then Colossus Bundle tier 2 (with 10% discount voucher from the Tabletop purchase).

Lesson learnt: Don't Gamble. :(

I completely agree with you: I'll never buy a mystery bundle anymore... :(

Yep... it's usually a bad idea to openly post keys since they get snatched up almost immediately by bots.
