Would you preorder/buy?
You get the games when the bundle goes live and keys are populated

Dumb question: what do you get for preordering a mystery bundle? A cheaper price than later?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes. Preordering is typically about $1-2 cheaper.
With build-a-bundles, I recall it's 50 cents per game once it launches, versus a standard $1.25 preorder (though this one is at $1.50, so perhaps the build cost may be higher as well) meaning it's usually worth not preordering on build-a-bundles if most of the hinted games don't look to your tastes, as you can still get 2 games for 25 cents cheaper (in total) after it launches. Flip side, if you're liking the hints, preordering is a great deal.
For everything else, preordering is usually the better option if you see anything previewed to your tastes, though it's always a gamble. Typically you want to remain cautious with Community Curator bundles (which covers several different bundles- best just to check comments here on SG, people'll typically warn you off them in the comments for those bundles) for preorders (since even if you do get a previewed game you have interest in, it's likely the rest of the bundle will disappoint you), while jumping on board for Be Mines and other flagship bundles (as even if they do disappoint you personally with the rest of their inclusions, the games are usually mostly high interest and can at least be traded well).

Thanks for making this thread. Interesting bundle, but i'm not sure i'll go for it, my funds are very limited right now. Need more hints

It's looking like 6 Steam, 1 Greenlight, 5 bundled.

5 bundled? whoa what's going on with groupees? i'm so dissappointed lately
Comment has been collapsed.
You can use the Groupees coins to purchase bundles with, however, you cannot pre-order a bundle with coins.
Comment has been collapsed.
Definitely need hints for this one if 5 out of 6 has been bundled before. Will probably skip then. For like.. The first time in many months lol.

That is very hard and unusual to read from you! ^^

Tick's Tales is on my wishlist, might as well finally use a coin.
Comment has been collapsed.
Btw it says: "6 Steam, 1 GL, 1 not GL. 5 rebundles" ... so the 1 not GL is probably an itch.io key which should still be mentioned ^^'

what is the advantage of pre-ordering vs purchasing after release?
Comment has been collapsed.
if I understand the premise correctly the bundle contents are not released until the actual release date correct?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, you either buy it cheap but blind, or know what you get for about twice as much. Depends on how much you like to gamble.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, although usually a few games are confirmed or can be guessed before it goes live, for example here the background image indicates Tick's Tales will be in.
What I do is preorder as a gift and resell it on Group Buys if I don't like it, there's always someone who will regret not getting it and would be happy to take it off your hand for preorder price.

That's a great idea, never thought about buying it a a gift. Thanks:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Even if you have bought it normal you can turn it into a gift later and sell it complete if you don't like it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh nice, I wasn't aware of that. How would turn it into a gift?
Comment has been collapsed.
Go to my purchases
Tab giveaway and drag the bundle you want to turn into a gift.
Done.
Please note that this is not working on phone or tablet. Only from a PC.

As far as I know it's not new. The first one I did like this is over a year ago. It's not working on phone or tablet, you need to be behind a desktop or laptop.

Sorry I misinformed you. You first have to make it a gift in the bundle than you can drag and drop it.

Groupees always gets me with these cheap prices.
(Except when I have a gut feeling that it will be terrible.)
Comment has been collapsed.
That gut feeling is Groupees induced IBS (I've been swindled). Just joking. I have fun waiting to see what the Groupees fairy will bring. It's fun even when it isn't.

Will probably skip this one, but I'll come back later to check for more hints :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I tend to jump on the pre-orders but my gut feeling is telling me it'll be cheaper for me to wait for live.... hmmm
Comment has been collapsed.
Same. I do really want Tick's, but it's possibly the only one I'll want, so I'm trying to resist for another 9 minutes ;)

Last time I bought random bundle from Groupees I was promised to get Steam key for voting for games. Still waiting for the keys, so no thanks for anything that is from Groupees.
Edit: Well, should've bought that bundle. It was pretty decent with good games. :(

Still waiting for the keys
for which? Tons of keys got added for past greenlights.

Fuck you bundlestars. Bought that overpriced shit for Cornerstone only to see it here? Fuck You -.-
Comment has been collapsed.
So glad I passed on that one, and preordered here for $1.50. On bundlestars, I was only missing Cornerstone and Tick's Tales, both on my wishlist.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1 So glad I preordered and passed on the BS "bs" bundle lol. Both games were on my WL.
Comment has been collapsed.
No preorder here, but I can use up a coin of mine - Cornerstone is a great surprise here, and Tick's Tales is also nice, I'm happy with this without even checking the others :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Ouch. Yeah, I did the same thing for Cornerstone and Tick's Tales. At least there were other games included in it, and those two are probably worth even the higher price, but it does sting to see them here for much cheaper. </3
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, I did the same. Both for that game and Tick's Tales ^^' Oh well, we can't always be lucky. :p
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm going to do the same now - get those two games with a coin. So happy I passed on that overpriced Bundlestars offer...
Thanks, Groupees. Now that shitty Be Mine starts feeling worthwhile :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Same! (I wouldn't have been disappointed had I preordered though, but I'm really happy like this :))
Comment has been collapsed.
Was much better for me to skip the preorder and use a coin. This way I get both of the games I want without having to spend real money
Comment has been collapsed.
Question, did we receive exchange in return with coin? got $6 worth of coin and full bundle just $3. :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Most people are referring to the fact that they have a $1 coin from a previous Be Mine bundle, and that is what they are going to use to get the two most wanted games from the bundle.

Wondering what games you already own from this bundle? There's an extension/UserScript for that! It's called the RaChart™ Enhancer.
