So I did a little experiment to see the price differences.

I bought the bundle on the first day it came out with 6 games: Iron Grip: Warlord, Will Fight for Food, Stroke of Fate, Depth Hunter, Alien Breed: Impact, Dog Fighter, Syberia II and Tiny Bang Story.

On July 20th I paid $5.04 for those 8 games.

I went back to see what the minimum for those same games would be now and it is coming up $6.48 for me so they must have changed their pricing structure. Probably you get a lesser bulk discount due to the inclusion of more games?

If I went and bought those 8 plus the 4 new ones all today it would cost me $8.40, which is $3.36 more than I paid for the 8 that I bought on the first day.

If I go to just buy the 4 new ones today it is showing up as $3.60.

Not a huge difference but most of that seems to be due to a reduction in the bulk discount because people who buy today are actually paying more per game (well after the first couple) than I did early on. It seems like with more games added it takes more games to get more of a bulk discount I guess.

Anyway, it's rather confusing and I wish they hadn't done it this way, though it appears the actual real world difference between getting in early and buying a new BAB for the new stuff vs getting it all at once is minimal.

Bab I found is kind of annoying. But I can't complain with 4 games for 3$ I guess.

Shadows on the Vatican on the BAB2 page now lists Desura. Can anyone verify that it does activate there at this point?

Well, I was kind of pissed, especially since there was only two games I really wanted, so I paid the minimum of $3 for 3 games, and now they add 4 more games that do interest me, that I would have bought in the beginning if they had offered them then. So now I have to pay +$3 to buy another bundle.

Jeez, look at me, I'm complaining over $1 games, what is wrong with me.

My "Universal" key was stripped away, so now I'm left with a DRM-free version until they ship out Desura keys to the game's original buyers. Will confirm once I get the key.

Alright so I went and bit on Shadows on the Vatican, The Abbey and Deadly 30. I buy almost anything in a cheap indie bundle but I just couldn't bring myself to get Metal Dead for $1. I don't think I could for 10 cents even.

Anyhow, I can confirm for new purchasers from here on it you will get a key that activates on Desura for Shadows on the Vatican as I just activated my copy there.

Downloading The Abbey now so I can add a link to it to Steam and Desura as a non-Steam/Desura game. It's big, 1.6 GB and downloading slooooow for me.

Thanks for biting the bullet and taking a chance on SotV. I guess I'm buying another bundle.

Just curious though, what turns you off about Metal Dead? Is it the game's visual style?

Primarily, yes. That and Zombies (again) and the general humor style from the screenshots.

Come to think of it, probably everything.

That's cool if other people want it and appreciate it but I just couldn't seem to muster up even the slightest inclination toward it and I tried because it's the only game in BAB2 now that I don't own.

Oh well, at least I have a couple of adventure games about sinister priests now.

Looks like the $1 minimum purchase is now live. If you only wanted one game from this bundle, now's the time to buy.

Jonny said at least one of the games in this list (I think it's a guess or wishlist that another user posted in their chat) will be in Be Mine 4:

Redundant, much?

I'm calling Revelations 2012. Mark it down.

There are several games on that list that I passed up during the Steam summer sale. My top pick would be Legend of Grimrock followed by the Ys games.

That's a tough call.

I think we can preclude Grimrock because it's probably too renowned for Groupees to snag it. If I had to guess I'd say it'll be in the next numbered-Humble.

I think we can cross Legend Of Grimrock off that list because the developers already have a relationship with the Humble Bundle people. If it appears in any bundle, it will be a future numbered HB.

My guess is Wings Of Prey simply because after waiting for close to a year to see if it would show up in a bundle, I finally caved-in during the summer sale & bought it.

Thanks, now we can finally get it in a bundle!

Grimrock probably won't be in it, and I doubt the Ys games will either due to the publisher being XSEED. Only reason a Ys game was in a Steam "Indie Bundle" was because Valve suggested it. My guess would be any of these (I took out any I thought would be very unlikely to be in it):

ORION: Dino Beatdown
Revelations 2012
Dynamite Jack
All Zombies Must Die!
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
Wings of Prey
SOL: Exodus
Sequence
DETOUR
Rock of Ages
Inside a Star-filled Sky
Analogue: A Hate Story
The Haunted: Hells Reach
Magical Diary
Nexuiz
Battlemass

Thanks for the bump, almost forgot about this one. I want Dino Beatdown! But for some reason I will guess The haunted. I saw like 100 copies for $5 a pop at Half Price Books last week, they seem to need the money. Too bad I already have the game.

Thanks for the heads up on the $1 minimum. Picked up Stroke of Fate. Some of the other games like The Abbey and Secrets of the Vatican look interesting but I'll forget about them if I don't have them on Steam.

There's been some kooky happenings with the DINO Beatdown devs that you can read about on their Steam forum. Disgruntled ex employees not getting paid, lack of support, etc. etc. Wouldn't surprise me to see it in a Groupees bundle. And yeah, as already mentioned, I highly doubt it will be Grimrock since they make use of the Humble Store for their website transactions.

Wings of Prey going DRM free for a bundle would be something.

Would be nice to see Fortune Summoners in the bundle. Doubt it though; probably will be more dinosaurs.
