Still, my only real complaint about HB is that they seem to want to create another GOG or something - most of their mails now are pretty much spammy, advertising the same deals on "regular store" over and over again. I used to be excited when I got a mail from them because it meant another cool bundle. Now it's mostly store promotions.
Before they started that I purchased every (or at least almost every) bundle for 20-30 dollars, but I haven't bought one since.

You know, I see the same thing. But this spurred me to look, and their account settings[3] allow you to customize exactly what types of promotions you want to be emailed about, so there's relief for both of us.

2: Although the 5th bundle offered a prior bundle, the Frozenbyte bundle, if you paid over the average, so you could count that.
As for the early bundles, I recall paying attention to the first two-three, then ignoring them for few years, and only coming back to them around a year ago.
Fraud may be a bad word for that, but reading through the "biggest buyers" lists leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
