Yes, yet another indie bundle, but like the Humble Bundle, you can set your own price and donate to charity as well. The games only register on Steam, but that won't be a problem for most here. You get a key for each individual game, so you can gift whatever you do not personally want if you feel like it.

===============================================

Happy Hour guidelines:

*Happy Hour happens at random times: sometimes as early as 4 days after the bundle going live, but most often during the second week of sales.

Happy Hour! Double Gifts! During Happy Hour time New buyers for every gift purchase get a 2nd bonus gift for free (2x1)! All gifts are doubled! Remember to check 'IS IT A GIFT'! *If you have not purchased the current Indie Gala yet, you can buy two for one during happy hour

And if you are an early buyer the deal is EVEN BIGGER!

Yes! If you already bought the current indiegala bundle, you get 2 bonus gifts for free for every gift purchased ( 3 x 1 ) *If you have already purchased the bundle, but you did not purchase it in the first week, you can buy three for one

And if you bought it in the first week you get 3 bonus gifts for free for every gift purchased ( 4 x 1 ) *If you already purchased the current bundle and did so in the first week of the current bundle going live, you can buy four for one

Remember to check 'IS IT A GIFT' ! if you want to take advantage of Happy Hour. You have to check this also if, after purchasing a bundle for yourself with your own email address, you want another additional bundle for you. If you don't, transactions amount will sum on your original email account and you can upgrade your purchase, obtaining more bonuses if you previously didn't unlock it, or more galapoints.

REMEMBER: (Gift purchases are not upgradable and don't contribute to upgrade your personal account for unlock new content.)
***For Happy Hour, you MUST use the same e-mail you used when buying your first bundle, and you MUST check the gift option below the payment method. You have to buy again during Happy Hour to receive gift copies.

CAG Group Buy Hosting FAQ

Q: I see all of these CAGs hosting group buys for people. What's that all about?
A: It's a way for CAGs to help each other get the best deal. One person will buy the bundle during the first week, then they will buy four gift copies at the highest tier during Happy Hour. This person is referred to as the host. They then try to sell these to participants for a fraction of the price of buying the "beat the average" bundle individually, plus some extra to distribute the cost of the initial bundle purchase in the first week. The host gains money back, and the participants get the full bundle for a fourth of the cost. Everyone wins.

Q: How do I host one?
A: To host a CAG group buy, you must first purchase the Indie Gala full BTA (beat the average) bundle in the first week (this has been changed since the previous bundles). This will allow you to purchase four additional bundles for the price of one during a Happy Hour, as stated in the Happy Hour post above. Now, it does matter how much you initially spend, as you must purchase the full bundle in order to purchase full bundle four-packs during Happy Hour. Then, once Happy Hour starts, you buy a gift copy for the current "beat the average" price, which will be listed on the Indie Gala page. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK "IS IT A GIFT" TO GET FOUR GIFT COPIES.

Q: It's asking me for multiple e-mail addresses. What do I do?
A: Just skip that part. The links to the gifts will be added to your account page (which is another reason why you must always use the same e-mail address when ordering from Indie Gala). Most hosts will send out the gift URLs to their participants in a PM.

Q: Is it hard to do?
A: No, it's very quick and easy. Just keep track of which gift URLs you have sent to which people, and you will be fine.

I wanted this bundle mainly for Deadly Premonition. I had the hope that someone says there are patches that fixes the gamebreaking bugs. But it seems the game is very broken. I will only get very nervous trying to play it
There's always this, if you haven't seen it (it's been posted before):

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=706035

It helps prevent some of the crashing issues and improves the graphics/resolution.
 
There's another Happy Hour on now ... kinda tempted since it's a good one. I guess I'd get 3 copies of everything since I already got the bundle?
 
I posted this in the Amazon thread but it's a lot busier than this one so I'll post it here too:

I'd like to get hold of:

Max Payne 3 Complete
Lords of Football
GTA Trilogy

If anyone has leftover EC coupons and can get me one of these games I can provide a full Indie Gala January bundle in exchange.

What's so funny? I get a cheap game, someone else gets a cheap Indie Gala Bundle.

It's win win. :D/
I'd want Amazon GCs/pp if I was offering. Most CAGs who want IG would have already gotten it. So in a sense you're asking for someone to buy games with cash to trade for bundle leftovers.

Who knows? Maybe there'll be at least one person who's waiting to see what the last game is before picking up a full IG January bundle and has spare EC vouchers.

 
+1 for the steam count for me.  Missed that game in previous bundles.  No cards does suck though.

Funny thing, with the latest HH (first since last bonus revealed) they raised the price for one bundle to $5.99, but lowered the gift pack price for 20 bundles by $2.  

Makes no sense.  Don't know why they would raise any price since even before the bonus game was revealed, you were still getting it once it was revealed.  Galagic = no logic.  

 
What he said.

Rush Bros is possibly the only game I've contimplated asking Steam support to remove from my account.
I never thought I'd see the day where a game worse than Bad Rats existed.

Except that while Bad Rats is bad because of poor production values, Rush Bros is bad because the developer really doesn't give a damn.

 
So how does Happy Hour work exactly? I have a couple friends that bug me about it so I may just end up doing a HH set for us next round.

Basically, you just purchase a bundle in the first week at the BTA price, and 3 extra bundles are given to you automatically?

You still have to make a purchase during HH.

 
So you basically need to buy 2 sets minimum to get in on the 4 bundle pricing? (so one BTA first week, one BTA during HH, you get minimum 8 sets)
If you BTA the first week and buy a BTA gift during HH, you get 3 BTA gifts for free.

12. How does the happy hour work?

During the happy hour HIGH TIER gift purchases are discounted ( gifts are purchases made with the "Is it a gift" checkbox selected ) You have to do a NEW gift purchase during HappyHour time to take advantage of this offer ( even if you previously bought the current IG bundle ). Happy Hour is a moment during the bundle in which when you buy a HIGH TIER* gift, you have bonus (read as free) HIGH TIER* gift(s) whose numbers depend on when you ( and if you ) ALREADY purchased the bundle HIGH TIER* . If you purchased the HIGH TIER* bundle during the 1st week, during an Happy Hour you'll be able to purchase 1 gift and receive 1 + 3 gifts. If you purchased the HIGH TIER* bundle after the 1st week, you'd receive 1+2 HIGH TIER* gifts. If you didn't purchase yet the HIGH TIER* bundle, you'd get 1+1 HIGH TIER* gifts. Remember to check the GIFT checkbox to get advantage of HappyHour. * If the sale has 2 Tiers HIGH TIER is Tier 2. If the sale has 3 Tiers HIGH TIER is Tier 3. Weekly bundles does NOT have HappyHour

Did anyone buy the Gala Fire and Sword bundle the first week? It's currently half off and 2-for-1 for anyone who

bought before today. Can anyone host?

Didn't expect that one. I didn't buy because I had all the games. You can never really predict what IG is going to do. I guess it keeps it exciting. I'm sure a few people will be pissed they paid $5 for it now though.

If anyone did buy in and is doing gift bundles let me know, someone on Steam said they wanted 12!

 
I like that they try new things, but this can't possibly be good for business. It teaches every early adopter that they should wait and nab a cheap group bundle. I like that they have these sales, but they need to create a better incentive for early buyers, like free gift bundles to make up for the later sale price.

 
Yeah, it's definitely not well thought out.  

I guess in their mind the incentive for early buyers is the ability to get 2 for 1 gifts.  But that isn't an incentive for anyone who just bought it for themselves. So in essence they are encouraging them to try to sell these gifts to bring the price of their own bundle.  And they've always been all "gifts aren't to be sold."  Like I said... Galagic... makes no sense.  

 
I enjoy buying the sets early and grabbing the gift packs for friends during Happy Hour.   They're not the best games in the world but they don't cost me much either.

That said I bought the Fire/Sword bundle early and COULD help some people out.   Though I would appreciate it if someone else would step in to help people out though, I'm not sure I'll be online often enough for people.

I'd really appreciate help getting previous bundles that have been offered.   I've just recently started buying these up.
