Paragon is an upcoming third person action MOBA developed by Epic Games and designed from the ground up to follow Dota 2's free to play model. In other words, all of the heroes are free and the cosmetics can be either bought with cash or simply earned through in-game means.

In a recent message sent to developers Valve has announced that the option of tiered bundle pricing is now available for use and already in effect for some bundles, such as the complete Valve pack which I can currently buy at ~50% off due to owning 50% of the games in there, as usual.
