Indie Gala Every Monday #31 (updated format chkdsk etc)

Closed

comes out when I'm on my phone so will be devoid of fancy formatting for a few (and my comments too but I didn't want to ruin the alliteration :P)

okay, devoid no longer!

$1.89 For the first 24 hours

Game Tycoon 1.5 it may have cards but 88% of reviewers don't like it, and it's not hard to see why
Big Brain Wolf 54% positive, seems more like a game for kids
Out There Somewhere 94% positive
Ninja Cats vs Samurai Dogs TD mobile port, 65% positive
Sinister City 57% positive, cards already own it on desura from a previous bundle? (thanks Lugum!)
Frederic: Evil Strikes Back 94% positive, first one was bundled last week, cards
Playing History 2: Slave Trade (Desura) Greenlight is it a tasteless depiction of early days' slave trading? you decide

I would have bought it for $1.89 even though I'm only interested in Out There Somewhere. Then Paypal (well actually IG) surprised me by asking 1.83€ ($2.32) - one could say well it's still a somewhat fair price. The point though is: I'm pissed and don't want to support this shenaniganism where they waste my time with captchas logging into IG, fiddling with the price thingy then logging into Paypal just to see they decided to ask ~25% more than they said it would cost. FUCK YOU.

Check the small print above the payment buttons - 'As a result of application of EU directives VAT will be added to purchases from EU.'

This. It's not IG nor Paypal's fault that they have to collect VAT, but the buyer should know the final price before the actual payment. Other bundle sites manage to do at least that.

Btw, just selling frederic and game tycoon cards could probably give you back your money (maybe even more if you're lucky).

for now, that is...but you know with bundles, they're the best way besides free games of getting card prices to plummet ;)

True, gotta be fast xD Unfortunately buy order prices are quite below the sell orders, so it's probably hard to sell them before the flood comes in.

For Desura Sinister City owners, you can get a free steam key here http://steamcommunity.com/app/326180/discussions/0/619568708438522876/

It really is worth it to check all your games, with the new desura design it can filter now to show games with steam keys only (although some will not give you one, it has it's flaws). According to that filter i checked every Desura shop page and their Steam discussion pages, if there are mentioning of steam keys.

Another odd one i found on desura was a few months ago, with a interactive novel game i can't remember the name of, but it had a special redeem link on the shop page rather then the collection page, and you had to sign up for an account to get a steam key.

[Edit] It was this game, it has a connect button if you own it. http://www.desura.com/games/dysfunctional-systems-learning-to-manage-chaos
Also thanks for making a clicky, i can't work out the formatting and such yet here. :p
