Isn't this currently in a groupees bundle?
EDIT: Ouch, ya this is one of the 6 games included in their new "Shifty's Discovery bundle"

Yup. As if I hadn't been beating myself up over preordering that despite knowing better enough already. (And we still haven't gotten the HH4 coins -- or an update on the situation -- either.)
Think I really should be done for good with groupees .... maybe now I'll finally learn.
(Edit: Not that this thing in particular is likely their fault, but we'll see if they make good on it with a replacement or if they just shrug and say "too bad".)

Yeah I know it sucks.. To be fair though this has to do with the devs and not groupees. I really don't get why the devs of this game would do that knowing they have their game in a bundle. All this does is hurt the percent they get from Groupees and kinda screws Groupees and the other devs that are part of that bundle. They should of at the very least waited till the bundle ended.

But it also reflects a lack of respect that devs have for Groupees and it's curators and/or the character of the kinds of devs that Groupees and it's curators do business with. The numerous times that devs have backed out of bundles at the last minute and then they've had to put up a mystery game as a placeholder and now stuff like this shows that there is a pattern where the people who are dealing with Groupees don't care one bit about their reputation or any consequences. This kind of thing rarely happens to Fanatical/Bundle Stars or Humble or even Indie Gala.

Oh it definitely reflects that. Unfortunately, Thomas will get tons of crap because that dev team decided to do a mass giveaway.

It's not entirely clear if it's the dev's fault yet. They claim that they turned Groupees' bundle offer down.

We'll have to wait for the full story. I think at the very least they should either back out of the bundle and Groupees replaces it with another game (if the actual devs signed with Groupees) or offer episode 2 for people that bought the bundle.
If nothing is done to compensate bundle buyers, I'm definitely done with Shifty's bundles.

Woah that devs reply is not good at all.
I just checked and it appears Direct2Drive has the game for free. I wonder how long it's been on there for free?
From the devs reply it doesn't even seem like he's aware that his game is involved in 2 mass giveaways or being part of the bundle on Groupees. I just posted a comment and asked him.

I totally missed the devs first comment and just read the second one. And yes I agree with your comment completely.

Here's something that's kinda confusing though.. Groupees isn't a store they are a bundle site. So the only way Groupees would distribute the game would be in a bundle and if the dev refused a bundle, why would they give Groupees keys?
Comment has been collapsed.
Maybe he gave keys so groupees can giveaway keys for free? Aka. promote the first episode, and hoping someone buys episodes 2&3.
Groupees isn't exactly super competent and they have history of mistakes like not paying devs (spending money on ski vacation instead and avoiding contact), accidentally bundling games they weren't supposed to (I think previously was in greenlight bundle, where there wasn't supposed to be keys).

"Hey folks, so seeing how the whole thing with Bear with me happend. I am going to add a new game to the bundle shortly. Very sorry for any confusion or dissapointment this might have had on your purchase/expierence. "
I'm not confident that this will make the bundle better, but we'll see ;)

Yeah. My first reaction was "oh ok, a HOG, not bad", then I scrolled down to the reviews and was left with "oh well, at least I didn't already own it I guess?" Was half expecting Space Pilgrim Ep III or something after all ;)

More like... Shitty discovery bundle, am I right?
Hahahah
...not funny?
Okay. :(

Every time there's a new Shifty bundle that's exactly what my eyes see when I first read the title. I always have to look a second time to realize it doesn't actually say "shitty bundle".

Replaced with http://store.steampowered.com/app/464630/Secret_Of_The_Royal_Throne/ now.

As a "bonus", it seems it's now impossible to buy Episode 2 & 3 on Steam, you'd have to buy the whole game (a.k.a. Collector's Edition) even if you bought Ep.1 before it was made free.

[edit] seems that the episodes are still available separately, just not linked on the game's page:
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/149833/
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/200808/
though they cost the same as the collector's edition anyway, so it's only sensible for those who had ep1+2 before.

Your order might have to undergo further analysis by Nuuvem, increasing its clearance time by a few hours.
Used VPN
Edit: Dont know why it said that. Went to my games and it was there and I could use the key. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
FYI. Use a USA IP (VPN, such as Tunnelbear).
Not sure which countries other than Germany are having problems, but USA ips are working fine.

Nope.
I'm someone else.
Saw the image float by on Facebook some months ago and snagged it. :)

Figured as much, it's quite a popular photo. He's actually a very cool photographer, if you want to check out some of his other work. :)

Thanks.
Much appreciated.
Will check it out now. :)

This was on my wishlist, and now I'm glad I didn't get the Groupees bundle for it. Thanks!
