That's pretty much the same thought I had. In the best case this gamble nets me some enjoyable games, in the worst case I have wasted money I could have spent on a burger or some soda.

But the person I was responding to said that even if they WERE on Steam, he'd "risk and give it a shot".
And, even if I am going to address Greenlight games, it still seems very odd to call eight of them for $1.50 a "risk". Either bad iOS ports would still give me more than $1.50 worth of entertainment.

I hope this experiment fails because pre-ordering mystery bundles is a horrible idea.

mystery and Greenlight, I decided to buy it too with bitcoins, at least we will get Steam keys after they greenlit, if they don't fool us.
Once I bought a single game for 1$ on indiegamestand and regretted it, all the games they sold always went for same 1$ price but to another bundle including more games. Let's see how goes this Groupees experiment.

well IndieGameStand isn't really a bundle, and you can say that it is very dev oriented. Also, compared to GMG, Gamersgate, GOG, Desura, and Steam, IndieGameStand is still a bargain.

This. And even if sometimes I ended up having doubles because of other bundles, I never regretted what I bought on IndieGameStand.

Pre-order 8 Greenlight games without knowing what I'm getting? Are you kidding me? That is absolutely a new low. Hell, I don't want to buy Greenlight bundles when I can see the games, considering maybe half will actually end up on Steam and maybe one of those will turn out good.

...And then they decide that everyone didn't pay enough for steam keys after it gets greenlit and don't provide them. GG

There have been at least three games from Groupees Greenlight bundles which keys didn't come for, because the devs sucked arse.

they wouldnt try and risk the outrage, it would hurt their pr

Groupees would follow through. It's the devs/pubs that you have to worry about. They all want your support until they're on Steam and then they're quick to cast you to the curb.

anybody knows the base content will be providing steam keys

Its a Greenlight bundle. There are no Steam games in there at this time, its all Greenlight stuff.
Comment has been collapsed.
i know that, what I wanted if the base games are guaranteed to give steam keys ONCE they pass gl (and theres still no news about the bonuses in that regard)
Comment has been collapsed.
Asking for guarantees is a bit pointless. Plenty of these games never get through, and some pull bullshit and then refuse on a technicality, by going with a scummy publisher instead.

So are the starting games. Greenlight itself isn't a DRM.

well, I finally decided to buy it, hopefully I wont regret it :P

Build a Greenlight 10
2 games / $1 minimum. First two games cost $0.50 each. Each additional game gets a tiny discount, so the full bundle costs $3.32 total.
8 main games to pick from
6 Bonuses (All unlocked)
Background
During the 24-hour countdown before the bundle went live, you could pay $1.5 or more to get the full bundle on release. Apparently, 3334 copies were preserved before the games were revealed.
..and the gaming industry, not content with the abomination called "preordering", gave birth to the next step in the evolutionary ladder: "Preserving", where you pay up front without even knowing what you are buying.
I'm mostly kidding though. $1.5 is nothing compared to a full-price preorder (unless they cram the bundle full of GL skidmarks).
