So, when was the last time (y)ou bought a bundle there? (Q) Me in March 2020 and only (5) (of course all through groupbuys) in the whole year.
Currently, what they present is a bundle of 6 craps not worth even $ 1. Where are those good indie games time in indie gala? Times when you bought 2-3 bundles a week. Today there is not even one interesting game for the whole package (and I still have hundreds several years old indie games on my steam wish list). Even Artifex stopped offering their gam(e)s in these bundles and switched to Fanatical.
So, I cleaned up and today I'm starting gibs with all the games left from the indie gala before it's too late and it will suddenly turn out that in a week or month indie gala will disappear.
First train (part 1 - gibs limit) Artifex HOG. (U).

I have no idea of they're doing fine or not but at least it's not like how Groupees just stopped doing games bundles one day.
During 2021 I think I only bought bundles from Fanatical, not even Humble had something that made me go "I need that".

Last time I bought a bundle on IndieGala was on 7 Oct 2019. It was the only bundle I bought from them that year. In 2018 I bought 19 bundles. In 2017 I bought 59. In 2016 I bought 69. In 2015 I bought 43.In 2014 I bought 10. My 1st bundle ever on IG was on 2 Jul 2014. Was curious so I decided to count how many bundles I bought from them. A lot, as you can see. lol
I agree that it used to be a great bundle site. They had good bundles at good prices. There was a new bundle everyday.
I stopped buying bundles from all sites in 2019. My currency got a lot weaker so paying in dollar is no longer viable. Plus, bundles in general don't get my attention anymore. They rarely have games I want that bad. Probably because I bought so many in the past and because when I really want a game and agree with the price, I just buy it on Steam. Bought maybe 2 bundles last year.
As for Artifex Mundi, they stopped releasing games on Steam. Maybe that's why they don't do that many bundles anymore. I want to believe it's because of the pandemic so they didn't make any new games in the last 2 years but will start again now that the situation is "improving" [is it really?]. We'll see.
I already own every single HOG from Artifex on Steam, so I won't take part in your train. Thanks anyway.

Exactly, each subsequent year was getting weaker.
The "downfall" came when VR and porn bundles came out.

I agree. They stopped caring about quality.
And I think that it doesn't look like that good of a deal for the devs/publishers anymore.

It's not difficult, you have to make a link yourself, tooltips are hidden in the text ... because it's a train for HOG.

I never thought about them going bankrupt, but I did notice that the quality of their bundles has declined greatly and I haven't bought from them in a long, loooong time.

Thanks for the pretty train. Found some games that are still on my wishlist :)

99/100 IG bundles not worth a cent, also their store offer interesting deals very VERY rarely. Its not site where u come to buy non bundles or preorders. Always can find better deals elsewhere (official sites). Not sure how they surviving from poor bundles.
Last bundle i bought there.. its like 2y

Still buying on IG from time to time (at least once every several weeks). I guess they'll manage for a while.

I've only bought 1 IG bundle ever.
I don't even claim all those free games nor participate in giveaways.

Thanks for the HOGs!

Regardless of the bundles IG is a legit store, so no, I don't see IG closing their door anytime in the future. Right now they have some really good sales going on compared to all other licensed storefronts. Here're a few of them.. Beyond Souls, Heavy Rain, Detrioit Become Human and Star Renagades.

Havnt bought one since IndieRoyale and BundleStars were alive and well.

Thx for the train, but dont much like those point n click ones. Would be more fun to see some anime, or popular media themed ones.

Has anyone enjoyed any of the games in this train? Any recommendations?

Thanks for the train.

I don't think they have huge operating costs, and since they are still releasing bundles, I guess they will survive

I plead the fifth on bundle purchases, but I have bought from their store a few times. They occasionally have really good deals that rival Fanatical. And also, for some reason, are the only third party store that lets me buy certain games while other storefronts have a region lock against Canada on that game.

LOL entitled gamers useing words like cr@p. They have INDIE bundles that are OKish or even better, and the store have sometimes very good deals. They offer dozens of free games which HB Trove cannot handle anymore. Also i won like a dozen game and DLC there and I'm happy about it.
