Steam Scam Spore Suckers?

So Steam is doing a holiday sale, and with the removal of ScecuRom from their version of Spore I've decided to end my 6 year embargo on the company and pick up Spore and the Cute/Creepy addon. So I start to pull out my wallet and I notice something strange on this page. I've copied this below for posterity:

Individual price $55.48
Package price $69.98
limited time discount -$7.00
Cost to you $62.98

Yes... if you act now and buy the pack, you get a whopping $7 off the price. Or you can go the costly route and buy each separately, you too can dish out $55.... and save twice as much? I'm wondering, really, if someone at Valve didn't cook up this one hoping no one would notice.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
