    [PC] Playfire Rewards Thread

    Yeah. I tried a second time towards the end of the promotion, and it still didn't track. Just opened a ticket.

    [PC] Playfire Rewards Thread

    From the welcome pack rewards (which I already owned them all like most people) I only have done the Sanctum rewards. Enjoyed doing them though, and it reminded me to finally play a long backlogged title. I've been playing it pretty regularly since then. Unfortunately I have to do a support...

    With an equal share system you're likely going to encounter less drama within the indie community. Because outside an equal share system you start to become judge and jury over which game is more attractive than others. I can think of a few titles from previous main bundles that ended up...

    We actually work on an equal share system. Not really sure how others do. And it has worked out for us, so we have no plans to change that. So piling the "most attractive" titles in the lower tier doesn't really benefit the bundle as a whole. That's why we're considering just going with one...

    It wouldn't be impossible to do a trading cards bundle without repeats, but like I already pointed out it would be incredibly difficult to do that alongside regular bundles. We need bundle types to fill in gaps between main bundles so that the entire structure is sustainable. Putting previously...

    Actually the first trading card bundle outsold a couple of our main bundles. We have to find other types of likely themed bundles to feature. Some that will not appeal to very avid bundle buyers. If we solely focused on appealing to just the hardcore crowd it wouldn't be sustainable, since we...

    We had one scheduled that ended up conflicting with the Steam sale, so we postponed it. We are working it out with each of the participants to reschedule it soon.

    I told you guys in advance it was another trading cards bundle. The last one had 15 previously bundled titles. This time it's down to 12 games + 2 DLC with a couple games and a DLC that hasn't. With the trading cards themed bundle it will always feature a lot of previously bundled games, but...

    Towards the end of the week like we usually do.

    Did you add me? I have 186 friend requests right now, and I think I cleared it two weeks ago.

    Unless I'm playing Fieldrunnners 1 or 2, which is often. We're back next week with another trading cards bundle. Another bundle may actually follow that one before the trading cards bundle is over. Then the first of our special promotions bundle should follow. We had to rearrange things due to...

    If his crotch has anything to do with it then I'd prefer he not be chanting my name while thinking about it. Just a personal preference.

    I got nothing better to do. A longer break due to things we can't control just means more time to plan. And we want to make sure when we launch in the new format it's done in a dramatic fashion. Plus it means I can take a break and rewatch the entire Reboot series before it makes its return...

    Pluralize it and it'll be more accurate!

    It's pretty well known now that Steam doesn't give a big heads up. And there's more than that. Coupons are expiring next week, winter globes popped back up and it's unlikely that Steam will have the Dota 2 tournament conflict with the sale, so I'd say mid-July is definitely out. Only two of the...

    That's definitely the downside of set dates. This is why I noted that I don't think it's a good idea to promote the sale is coming. But taking fairly extreme steps to prevent leaks (this is one of the reasons why everyone in that inner circle are given such short notice) is also not a good idea...

    And if there were set dates then maybe we still would've had a Spring Indie sale this year. It definitely would make things a lot easier for developers and publishers. Rather than having a 2 month stretch on their calendar showing "STEAM SALE ???". At least with the Winter Sale there is a very...

    There will always be leaks. To be honest I've never understood Valve's ultra secretive approach to these sales. They seem to give developers and publishers very little notice (which makes it hard on participants to coordinate a sales strategy in advance). I don't think it's a good idea to...

    I'm not a developer or publisher, so I'm not part of Steam's NDA inner circle. But there is enough evidence to suggest that we hold off.

    Blink Bundle Megathread | 12/09 - 12/16: Hidden Gems Bundle 3

    Unlikely. Launching the new format right before a major Steam sale is bad timing. And we've already said we aren't fans of the idea of running bundles during Steam sales. We might promote Steam flash/daily sales that stand out to us during, but that's about it. So we likely won't launch the new...
