A few weeks after they started, IndieGala started happy hour on IndieGala 2 and 3 (and I don't think it ever ended). Basically, by saying the copy you want to buy is a gift, you get two copies of the bundle, with their own individual Steam keys. People who had bought the bundle before Happy Hour started would get three copies when buying a gift, and those who had bought in the first week would get four.

This is all fine and good for generous souls, but what about the CAG? Assuming IndieGala 4 will add Happy Hour, which is almost inevitable at this point, one can slightly exploit it by buying a $1 bundle now, in the first week, and buying a gift over the average whenever Happy Hour starts, effectively netting them four copies of the IndieGala to do with what they please for a mere $1 over the average.

And if Happy Hour happens to not go live on this bundle, you could just up your $1 purchase to get the additional games. No risk involved if you're already going to buy it.

I'm going this route, but I happened to mistype my email as ...@gmail.con. Almost 36 hours since I sent my support email. :/

Happy Hours are on only for 1 hour!

I just bought 4 pack and I've got 2 unused BTA bundle gift links. I want to sell them for 2$ each (6.65$/4 "+2.9% +0.3$" PayPal fee). If you are interested, just leave a message here. I will answer by pm immediately after reading it.

Did it only last from 8 to 9 then? I just checked and no Happy Hour. =\

Yes, so it's over now.

Gone for now, maybe. But there'll be plenty more to come and I'm sure that before this bundle is all over they're gonna do a Happy Hour that'll last several days.

Did they do the 4 for 1 thing, or was it just a buy one get one happy hour?

4 for 1. At first I bought one 1$ bundle then after paying 5,65$ for gift I received 4 BTA bundle links.

Ah, so you were able to get away with buying a bundle for a buck and then buying BTA gift bundles? That's good to know. I bought a $1 bundle myself a few days ago with the hopes of being able to do just that.

Of course, I plan to wait & see what the bundle will ultimately contain before I pull the trigger on a 4 pack BTA purchase. If it's as bad as the leaked info suggests, I might just take a pass altogether.

They will add into the bundle Steel Storm, Really Big Sky and Lunnye Devitsy. That's for sure.
You can see snapshots of those games in gala's trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=c60Dd_bFCOY The titles of shown games are written in tags section under the player. Lunnye Devitsy is not on steam, so it will be the second DRM-free game.

I guess the last game will be another game from Alien Shooter series.

Even with repeated games I think it's the best gala bundle so far.

Talk about damning with faint praise.

Definitely passing for sure, this is the only bundle in which I have more than 50% of the games already! Wallet stays in good shape, thanks anyway OP!

happy hour is on!

I have 3 unused BTA gift links that I'm selling for $1.66 each (paypal gifted payment). PM me if interested!

EDIT: 1 sold, 2 left!

Ah crap, I bought a 4 pack earlier with the expectation that you and Cheaplikeafox were on-board. I've still got plenty of time to unload my extra copies, so I'm not worried about that. But we need to figure out a way to coordinate this a little better if we're gonna do this sort of group buy thing with future Gala bundles.

Ah, sorry about that. Wasn't sure if you were going to go through with the happy hour gifts since you said you might pass on it in one of your last posts. I guess I should've asked you before I bought it.

If you go in on happy hour with someone for the gift, do you get the unlocks later?

Oh yeah, I guess I did say I was gonna pass. I guess I can't blame you then. No big deal though. As I said, we've got plenty of time to unload the extra copies.

As long as the gift bundles are Beat The Average, yes. Most of us will probably be buying the BTA bundles.

Yeah, I doubt you'll have any trouble selling them. Had no idea how long happy hours typically last, so I didn't spend too much timing thinking about it. I think the last one lasted 1 hour? But this one seems to last longer than 1 hour for some reason.

Yeah I bought my bundle at about 6:50AM EST. That was close to 3 hours ago.

The tweet that they sent out yesterday made it sound like the Happy Hours would only be 1 hour long. I knew that they wouldn't hold to that, but I'm surprised that they've broken from that plan so soon.

I bought another copy as gift since its happy hour (bought my own copy first day) and it gave me 4 gift copies lol.

Im going to give my extras away to friends. Im not one to sell stuff even if Im broke. Gift > a few extra bucks.

Alright, since it looks like sunghost is all set selling his copies, I'll offer up my 3 BTA gift bundles. If you want a copy, it'll be $1.66 via paypal GIFT. After you pay, I'll send you the gift link via PM.

If you're interested, PM me.

EDIT: All gone
