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.

Well there are four more Steam games being added so… maybe it'll be s00pah good.  That said I remember most IG bonus games being fairly underwhelming.

That's… three Hacker titles, plus…. Bad Bots. Oh, and DLC, of course.

Despite getting ToME that pen shooter still looking interesting.  Not sure what to think of that phone game.  It's up to the bonuses to save it!

 
Badgers was actually giving really good prices on cards but I'm sure the prices will plummet quickly with it being in two bundles. I got it back when it was on Daily Royale for $1.79 and the cards were going for 60-90 cents so I made more money back than I spent.

Two of them are already down to 20c each with <30 listed. E: Which has been the case since late December.

I almost had a heart attack about "Two Brothers" being in the $1 tier - but it's not the same game as a Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons...
Ha! I had the same reaction when I saw the picture-less list on the IG email. Two Brothers? Fuuuuuuuuuuu! But no, my 2.50 from the amazon EC remain justified!

 
* As a result of application of European directives VAT will be added to purchases from EU.
You can review the total amount of your price + VAT on paypal screen or google popup, before finalizing the purchase.
You can find more info on VAT in EU here. You can find complete list of EU countries here. please contact our support if you encounter issues.
LOL. This sounds like they have to add VAT.

http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/consumers/product_labelling_and_packaging/l32032_en.htm

The selling price and the unit price must be indicated in an unambiguous, easily identifiable and clearly legible manner for all products offered by traders to consumers ("unambiguous" meaning the final price including VAT and all other taxes).

"For the first 4 Hours Pay more than $3.99 instead of $5.19 to unlock these games!"

Yet minumum is $5 because they are adding VAT. So I think they might be violating some laws / directives now :D :D

Should probably tweet and see what they reply :D

You'll only get banned or blocked. They do that to people that figure out their little schemes.

They're Italians. You expect them to be good with economics?

Anyway can't you just say that you live in a McDonald's in Oregon? It works for Amazon.

 
The sad thing is I didn't know that Brothers was on Steam....would have not bought it at GMG then since that's a Capsule version...oh well you live and you learn.

Contact the dev and he'll probably give you a steam key. Someone said they did that on SPUF, and the dev emailed them with a key.

 
I've never heard of any of these games.  Anything I shouldn't miss? I see people keep mentioning Two Brothers.  These days I am feeling that anything with a retro vibe has to really be a standout to be worth my time.  Thoughts?

 
Tales of Dan Majerle is a good rogue like.  That pen drawn shoot-em-look looks cool from an aesthetics stand-point.  Ravensword is a port of a bland Android game.  At HH price it's a good value for the lot.  Plus there's four other Steam games being added.

Wow! Your post made me go look at the trailer for Ballpoint Universe and it looks amazing (more so the first half than the second shmup half, which reminds me of r-type for some reason). I wasn't going to get this IG bundle but now I'm wondering.

Deadly Premonition probably could've headlined the bundle - makes no sense for it to be a bonus game. I know it's not supposed to be that good of a game but it does have a cult following. Anyway, if it is a bonus I'll happily scoop it up, but it just doesn't seem likely to me.

Rush Bros can fuck right off.

 
Is it possible to buy the $1 games and come back after they reveal the other games and pay $4.15 to get them?  

 
Last edited by a moderator:
Haha on Rush Bros...it has cards at least!!!! If it really has Deadly Premonition i'll gift it out to a friend....got it during the Steam Winter Sale. I mainly just want the Tales Rogue game....love me them games and I was sad when I didn't get in on the previous bundle it was in.

Rush Brothers is a crap bonus (bad game, already bundled multiple times.) Therefore it is guaranteed to be a bonus.

Deadly Premonition would be a superb bonus (for now.) Therefore it'll be a troll and won't be an actual bonus, or there'll be a catch (eg: DRM-free only.)
 
The main problem with Deadly Premonition, is that if it was to be in the bundle wouldn't that be more of main bundle game? Usually bonus games are incredibly average and add just a little value to the bundle. Seems to high profile a game to be that. Rush Bros though.....perfect for a horrible bonus!

 
I'm no collector. Even at $0.10 I'm not a buyer unless it looks like something I'd actually try to play.
of course, but as a part of bundle why not (I'm not going to sell them for cents) assuming there's some interesting games (Gala is probably easiest due to Happy Hour ~$2 prices)

 
I really hope Deadly Premonition is one of the bonuses.. but that's really hard to believe. That would be a massive loss of sales for the game if they bundled it this early. Game hasn't been more than 60% off yet, and I would've bought it if it were 75% off.

Seriously, if it's one of the bonuses.. they deserve the "dumbest dev of the year award".

Me too. I won't believe until I see it on Gala site :D

I'm with you, Moobs...that's how I've kept my backlog down to a paltry 385 games. Oh, I do make exceptions for shitty bundled games with cards, though. Got a metric ton of those.

I don't know, at least they still would have gotten a few good months are regular price, with some 50-60% off winter sale action thrown in for a minute.

To me Frozen Hearth launching the day of the winter sale and Driftmoon waiting for the winter sale to be over but then putting their game for 50 cents in a Groupees build a bundle on launch were worse. The latter was technically in 2014 though. :p

Driftmoon had a bunch of good sales on GOG though. It was a dumb decision to put their game in a bundle when the game launched on Steam, but they did make some money on GOG. Not sure about Frozen Hearth, I don't know where that was sold outside of Desura/Groupees before it launched on Steam.

Gamersgate and Getgamesgo had it but I don't imagine they sold many copies. *shrug* I don't think it ever did get any time at all on the front page of Steam, which for most games you might as well kiss your sales goodbye if you never get featured on the front page.
