[quote name="plus10charisma" post="12160862" timestamp="1413331246"]Bump for the new blink bundle! Sadly, not many games I don't already have or want[/quote]
Thanks for bumping, it had been a whole 12 minutes since someone posted to this thread! I was getting worried that someone might miss this great deal!!!

It's not a total bust of a bundle like some of the gross IR bundles, and if[SIZE=14.4444446563721px] you didn't have any of these it wouldn't be a bad deal. [/SIZE] Some of the games look interesting and Unmechanical is worth a couple of bucks on its own.

It doesn't work for me though. At $5/9 games, it already works out to a little more than .50 per game, which is my bundle game target. I already have three of the games and one of the new ones is multiplayer-only, which is a huge negative to me.

Blink is one of those bundles that can be nice if you somehow don't own any of the games, but at the high fixed price it quickly becomes less attractive if you own even one or two.

No. There's no excuse for this.

 
Blink Bundle ends in 3 days, in case anyone was planning on buying it before it ran out. Not much else to say, except I hope the next bundle is better.

Also-new Peonbundle's are out-KISS themed from the looks of it. Same deal as before, 3 packs, 3 games each, each a buck, $3 total. Looks like either all or almost all repeats. Okay I guess if you don't want to wait for them to be rebundled. Kinda disappointed, as this seems to be Peon's standard, which is not very good compared to other sites, hell even IndieRoyale has more value in terms of $1 per game.

Still, this seems to disprove my theory that when Casey left he took devs(or at least the relationship he built with them-wasn't he their main coordinator?) with him and actually had a good bundle planned for his new site. That would have explained Blink's sudden drop in quaility, but now it looks like both are suffering without each other. Then again,since I am not an old hand at buying bundles, I probably got it wrong somehow.

Don't know if this is new, but I saw Peon Bundle has an Arcen Spotlight section. Three games for a buck.

Shattered Haven : http://store.steampowered.com/app/234370/

Skyward Collapse : http://store.steampowered.com/app/238890/?snr=1_7_15__13

Tidallis: http://store.steampowered.com/app/40420/

Also current packs(KISS) extended for another few days, likely so they can all end on the same day.

If you want those games then check out Daily Indie Game. They have those games + 3 more for $1.49. You also get two keys for each if you pay over $1.58.

 
Its too bad I already have the 3 extra games that DIG has. I do appreciate them though, they're really cheap and good if you're new to the game of collecting +1s.

 
[quote name="Yagami" post="12225293" timestamp="1415581316"]I mainly use it for alt account and extra keys to give my nephews. You'd be surprised the dumb shit they play if it's free.[/quote]
Lostunderwear, is that you?
 
EDIT:Hid most of the post, as it seems Peon has removed the bundles they had. Guess they couldn't fix whatever was wrong. Hopefully they'll go back up soon with the full packs, and I'll either edit this post or make anew one when they do. I've kept the observations I made here more as a record of what happened than anything.

For reference, this would be Day 4 of PeonWatch.

[customspoiler='Day One of Peon Watch']While I believe the site is glitched, Peonbundle: has a 21 day long pack. Which as of now is:
1.50 Pack Two: at http://www.peonbundle.com/
Dead Bits(haz cardz): http://store.steampowered.com/app/303390/

For the low price of $1.50....and under the KISS Spotlight...with an ARCEN Spotlight tab featuring nothing....hmm. Name is a little weird too, seems more like a placeholder. You would think after running these things for a while they wouldn't have these problems, especially when the last few were posted without issue. I'll update as needed.[/customspoiler]

[customspoiler='Day Two of Peon Watch']EDIT: on day two of pack launch new pack appeared(one day after previous): again one game
$1.50 in price.
1.50 Pack One
Overcast-Walden and the Werewolf: http://store.steampowered.com/app/293180/

No change on my end on the Arcen Spotlight.[/customspoiler]

Thoughts on Blink-bad price but it only lasts a few days which could mean they have something prepared to go for Black Friday/Thanksgiving and are just using this as a warm-up.(aka-remind the people we exist bundle).

Or it could mean they have nothing and this is their attempt to cash in on Black Friday/Thanksgiving. Either way, no sale.

Unless I'm having a problem w/ my browser, I think they extended it. I see a timer of 9 3/4 hrs to go. ITAD still has the old deadline though.

I bit. 62.5 cents each for +4 is fine with me. Who knows, might even play 'em some day.

Not sure when this started but it ends in about 6 days:

The Hidden Gems Bundle 3 (link)

$1.49 minimum

Namariel Legends: Iron Lord P&C Adventure, Steam

Fall of the New Age - Premium Edition Hidden Object, Steam

Skara: The Blade Remains Multiplayer (Early Access), Steam

I don't have any of these, but the MP only game (which, to its credit, does look spectacular) gives me pause. All have Positive or better feedback on Steam.

I checked the Skara store page.. found this:

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes! Our dream is for Skara to be free-to-play and free-to-win. But at this stage our developers need to be paid, tools need to be financed and licenses acquired.

So eventually it'll probably be F2P

I never get why developers say that to people. YES, development costs money. Going Early Access to make your beta testers fund said process is pretty pretty much bullshit. I honestly think that sours me on the Early Access program far more than some random website selling keys to an Early Access game for less than it is on steam.

Which is probably why the way I get Early Access games is pretty much only through bundles.

 
Blink doesn't have enough of an identity/gimmick/hook for me to buy from them.  Groupees has shitty pre-orders, Humble gives you shitty music, Bundle Stars is full of shitty repeats, Indie Royale is shit.  Blink needs to step up to the shitty plate.

Well, with this new bundle, they could say, "Hey, we're offering half of an Indie Gala weekly for the same price." That could work, right?
