It used to be called Bundle Stars though I dare say most would have been more familiar with Humble Bundle until the Fanatical rebranding in 2017.

That sounds right. I used to buy a ton even before the rebranding. Looking now, they have a bundle that has Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen (currently $30 on Steam) for $20 with 32 other games, most notably Devil May Cry 4, which is still more expensive on Steam than the bundle. Crazy.

Yeah, I'd love to know how they're getting this business plan legit when even grey key sites can't even match those prices.
