Oh, so a bunch of entitled brats. Got it.The Interstellar Marines thing was early backers getting upset that the game was bundled before it had left Early Access.
Not exactly. I don't personally have a dog in this fight because I don't have a copy of the Gala nor did I buy IM early, but the situation is a bit more complex than you paint it. The problem was that people bought the SuperFancy with Loads of ExtrasTM Edition (aka Spearhead Edition) for $40 to support the game while it was (and remains) in Steam's "Early Access" program. Those people were basically given a middle finger by the devs who turned around and put the SFwLoE version in the second tier of an IndieGala, so others were getting their "exclusive" content for $35 cheaper.Oh, so a bunch of entitled brats. Got it.
I'm kind of wishing I would have bought in early when the BTA price was $3.99.Really hoping HH shows up soon or I'll probably have to go ahead and purchase the bundle for $6... ouch.
I really wonder how much of that rage is genuine. I mean paying $40 for an Early Access game is roughly equivalent to kickstarting (esp at that level), which means you really want to support that game getting made.Not exactly.

While the lesson here is that you should probably steer clear of "Early Access" stuff unless you REALLY want to support the devs or the money doesn't really matter to you (or both), I think you can understand why people might be a little cheesed off about that kind of dough.
Things go on sale all the time. If you paid money for something you are judging that you believe that thing is worth what you've paid. That product you received is still the same product even if it drops in price later. If I buy a $50 game I believe it's $50 quality and when it drops to $20 I'm not suddenly playing a worse game that I only "should" have paid $20 for. The fact that the developers had to issue a multi-paragraph apology over putting their game in a bundle which supports charity is mind-blowing.Not exactly.

I can say that I'm a bit tweaked by the SE being included. To me, that was the not-so-cool move on the devs part.I really wonder how much of that rage is genuine.

There's a difference between going "damn, I should have waited" and launching an all-out assault on the developers for ruining your life. Wanting to get a game cheaper is not entitlement.And yet a lot of people on this forum complain when the game they bought for $3-4 gets included in a bundle. So entitled brats etc etc.
I also don't see the word "exclusive" anywhere on the Steam page for the game.
That to me is considered exclusive for an early access game.Early Access to Interstellar Marines including all future updates and expansions + Join the Spearhead unit (unique honorary game profile) + Your username in the Hall of Honor and your name in the credits of the game + Digital download of the Interstellar Marines: The Beginning soundtrack and all future soundtracks + Digital download of art book when it’s ready + Get 1 extra Interstellar Marines Steam Key to gift to a friend.
Yeah, same here, but really $6 is still a crazy deal so I won't be so upset. It's cheaper than my lunch so I'll brown bag it 1 day.I'm kind of wishing I would have bought in early when the BTA price was $3.99.
Actually the "Early Access" is the reason I think these folks have a genuine beef with the dev.Things go on sale all the time. If you paid money for something you are judging that you believe that thing is worth what you've paid. That product you received is still the same product even if it drops in price later. If I buy a $50 game I believe it's $50 quality and when it drops to $20 I'm not suddenly playing a worse game that I only "should" have paid $20 for.

Also I don't think Early Access really has anything to do with this or rather -- this has nothing to do with "steering clear" of Early Access, because those people would be upset/entitled regardless. Early Access is simply buying a game earlier, and not every game comes with a higher price of admission for it (in regards to "money doesn't really matter to you, but this is a different matter entirely).
I already brown bag it so I will have to find something else to give up. $6.00 would just about cover 2 months worth of my sewer bill so maybe I'll chuck that in the garbage and play IM Spearhead Edition while my toilet backs up.Yeah, same here, but really $6 is still a crazy deal so I won't be so upset.

Yeah, similar thing happened with the Deadly Premonition (IG January) bundle. Never get fooled again!They're probably just trying to milk it dry at full price before happy hour gets in. The sales have been really good so far, so it makes sense. Happy hour would add a crap ton of sales, they wouldn't pass that up.

That and they haven't revealed the last game. Last time you had a bit of a grumble from people upset they did HH before they revealed the final game, which I thought was stupid because 1 last probably lame bonus game shouldn't really be the deciding factor on a $2 purchase, but I know some people complained.They're probably just trying to milk it dry at full price before happy hour gets in.

What I said in regards to the charity was in reference to what they said, not me. But I guess you wouldn't bother to look that far into it.Except that 5% goes to an actual charity so...

I kinda want to redeem the key for that edition even though I know I'll never use it just so I can say I have my name in the credits of a game I know next to nothing about.That to me is considered exclusive for an early access game.
I don't think anyone has said its spectacular. Its just that its an Early Access game and barely anyone owns it so everybody is excited to get it dirt cheap is all I think. lol.Still can't see what's so spectacular about interstellar marines. Tried it for a bit and seems to be your everyday MP FPS but with a removable helmet
I was/am excited for the SP campaign as it was being being described to be what A:CM could have been. I could kind of care less about the MP aspects and thus have only booted it up once thus far.I don't think anyone has said its spectacular.

Although, the sharkdog things from some of the trailers that will be in the single player campaign do look pretty badass. lol.
I wasn't talking mainly about this sale, but the game itself. Maybe I should read more about what it will be when finished xDI don't think anyone has said its spectacular.

I think that if an edition comes with 2 copies And they included 3 copies in this bundle (I don't think it was unintentional) is because they want to focus on the MP aspects and want their servers to be very populated. I'm not saying the SP won't be great, I hope that too.I was/am excited for the SP campaign as it was being being described to be what A:CM could have been.

I don't know how they envision giving me extra copies will better populate their servers, since I can't very well play three instances of it at once...I think that if an edition comes with 2 copies And they included 3 copies in this bundle (I don't think it was unintentional) is because they want to focus on the MP aspects and want their servers to be very populated.

Did you try the Key Resender button at the top of the page?Has anyone received their keys for the Indie Gala Interstellar bundle? I'm starting to worry these guys are a scam. I have yet to receive any email from them (nothing in Spam). My credit card has been charged but I have no email with keys. I signed up two days ago on Monday. Has anyone had issue with them? I've sent a few emails already to their support but no reply. No activity on their twitter account in the last few days either.
Yes. You'd know this if you read a little.Has anyone received their keys for the Indie Gala Interstellar bundle?
My pants are tight in anticipation of buying this....but wait! Will this get a Crappy Hour? WILL IT?!?!?!?Indiegala Crapsule Computers bundle is live.
Repeats and mediocrity galore! At least Dead Sky is new, I think, and Hero Siege is pretty damn fun.
I'd suggest eating some prunes, it really shouldn't be taking you that long to take a dump.Crappy Hour
