Pretty simple really, since the rules are out of date is there any worth in the digital releases advertised on Warhammer community today?

There's the fluff in them. But the art will almost certainly have been somewhere else first and will definitely have been reused and if you need reading entertainment then there are better places to go than gathering storm. Like the first book you see in a bookshop if you walk in, close your eyes, spin around and open them.

I bought the bundle for fluff only

from a fluff POV GS1 and 3 where good. with GS1 (the fall of Cadia) proably being the hgihlight. GS2.... ok I'm not an eldar player nor much of a big eldar fan but I found fall of beil tan a little disjointed, and basicly it felt like a "and then they visited this eldar location and here is what this eldar char had to say about them!"

I'm thinking about picking it up, just because Celestine and the Sisters were a big part of it. The price is right at least.

Why they are apparently incapable of editing the background sections together and releasing it as a single normal product is totally beyond me.

And will they run out of digital space in their digital store for their digital book if they make it available for more than a week?

Why are you like this GW?

because 1: by making it limited time only will spur impulse purchases.
2: splicing them together runs the risk of accidently omitting an important detail and also requires someone to do some work.
3: some people might want the rules to compare and contrast.

TLDR theres no reason to splice them together and plenty of good reasons not to and making it limited time is going to spur impulse purchases. something GW proably needs. (I suspect 2020 is for them going to be, finanically bust)

GS2 was extremely obnoxious as an eldar fan personally, I found the whole Ynnari arc very grating, having Lieutenant Mary Sue running around with her eyes changing color with her emotions and every named eldar character has a crush on her, and she easily resolves pretty much every problem thrown at her with ease. GS1 and GS3 were alright.

The fracture of Biel Tan was the main thing I was interested in, seems like a pass from the feedback, shame.
