PC: The Indie Bundle - DRM Free Indie Games - 19.99

I wish we could mix and match. Already own a lot of these from previous bundles and sales. Captain Forever makes the first one so tempting.
 
I don't think there's anything I hate more than people trying to turn indie into a brand and milk it for the pity-bucks.

Oh, there's probably plenty I hate more. I have a lot of hate.

That said, this is kinda pathetic compared to Steam sales.

So why are you complaining again? No one is trying to milk anything here but give gamers a good deal. These devs don't see the money, nor recognition that they rightfully deserve.

Seriously big name publishers continue to milk franchises such as CoD etc So please STFU and GTFO if you don't like indie games and please by all means continue to support big name publishers who always screw you at the end.

If you already own any of the games they make it really easy to simply e-mail your license to a friend.

Do you mean you can gift individual licenses? As in, split the pack up into games you want to keep for yourself and send the others to a friend?

That's pretty cool.

Correct.

All indie means is you don't have a publisher, you're self published.
 
I also wish you could mix/match or something. I have half the games in either bundle and don't really like buying smaller games like that without a larger distributor behind it (steam, d2d, gg, impulse, etc) because I have a tendency to forget about them or lose them.
 
anyone know how they are being hosted. is it via developer site, or is there my wishful thinking of a steam code?

No steam codes, unfortunately. I was getting download speeds of ~150 kb/s for each game from their website, although I was downloading all of them simultaneously (except osmos, which I already had on steam and sent to a friend).

And it means you get a lot of free publicity and often unjustified love from people who are sent into screaming rage-fits by the mere mention of Call of Duty like a certain someone up thread.

Sounds like your problem is with the audience. Don't get mad at decent bands just because a bunch of damn hipsters praise them as gods, get mad at the hipsters.

Free publicity? When do these games ever get publicity at all? The only time you see a indie game mentioned on a gaming blog or site is when it receives an award. Then you look at Halo Reach which gets a post about every other hour if even if it's the stupidest thing for example (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/13/halo-reach-causing-red-ring-of-death-emblems/)

Honestly listen to yourself. "Unjustified love" Did you ever think that maybe some of these games are ACTUALLY GOOD? Try playing them before you judge em because you have a misconception of what the word indie game means douche.
 
Picked up the mega bundle this weekend, thanks for posting about it. They've uploaded mac/linux versions of a few more of the games now, which I find useful.

I got about 600K/s using a multi-part downloader. Everything's hosted on Amazon S3, so it should go about as fast as anywhere, and the store allows you to download as many times as you want. It's hosted through the company's download store, and should be around as long as the Auditorium developer is in business, plus the downloads are (backupable) DRM-free installers.

Looks like the sale ends in about 1 and 1/2 days.
 
Anyone want to trade a cheap Steam gift for either AAAH, Machinarium, or AYIM, PM me.
(Or FWIW, if you want to trade for my Splinter Cell:Conviction key)

Well it WAS with the audience until they realized the money that comes from playing to the audience.
