Can the original style guide be updated once more to clarify specifically that, just like with Steam, game bundles found on any digital storefront are not permitted to add as entries? There have been recent attempts to submit these types of items, but I am not able to explain properly to those submitting them that this rule extends beyond just Steam.

What Steam items can be added to the site?
Games, Demos and most DLC can be added.

DLC that we do not track (no entries should be made)
- Soundtracks
- Digital Artbooks
- Workshop items
- Season Passes

Also do not make entries for Steam Inventory items such as cards, pack, gems, icons, wallpapers, coupons or in-game items such as CS:GO crates/skins, or other game cosmetics such as for CS:GO, H1Z1 or TF2 (just to name a few examples).

Game packs or bundles should not be added. All Steam items we add must have the word app in the Steam URL, for example:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/49520/Borderlands_2/

It may also be beneficial to combine the existing Digital Games section with specific information about Steam into one post as they're currently separated which, in my opinion, results in making the guide disorganized. Personally, some of the information outlined in the latter post seems unnecessary to mention as it's repeating general rules already outlined further above in the guide.

Made the mention at the beginning here:

I put it on my list to redo that portion of the Style Guide to combine those sections in the future.
