buying it?
Christ, Student's head might burst if Barbie was added to a bundle. Especially if it were in the $1 tier.

I was aiming more for "he went nuts", but I guess that came out wrong. :)

I guess 'Nah, there is no barbie' will have to be the substitute answer for simply not wanting it :P

Would it be worth it for cards? I mean with a group buy with happy hour?
Comment has been collapsed.
most likely it will pay for it self. at least half

You should add a link to the bundle itself ^^
No time to look through the games right now, so gonna do it in a few hours when I'm back home.

Don't have any of the games + Lotsa cards = Instabuy.
Comment has been collapsed.
I only have 1 game and I'm interested in some of them.
The only reason why I haven't bought it already is that it will most likelly have a happy hour at some point... and my backlog, it's getting out of control.

One of the few bundles totally worth the price.
2$ for 12 games, wow.
Comment has been collapsed.
Only worth it if you actually PLAY some of the games...
Comment has been collapsed.
Wait.... Do you actually need to play those games???

You're right, most people are either too rich to care, or too dumb to make better financial decisions. I'm sorry! What was I thinking. Excuse my while I go buy random shit I don't need or want just because the price tag says "SALE!" or "x% off!!" -_-
EDIT: And yes, I know it's only a couple bucks, but it builds very poor spending habits, which are likely to get worse.

If you see it this way then I feel really sorry for you.
I'm buying games to support my favourite PC branch - gaming. This encourages especially indie developers to make more, and much better games, without a need to worry about their financial situation.
Check my account, you see those 1700 games? Now what if I told you that I actually played maybe 30, 50 at most. Now what if I told you, that I probably won't play even half of these games in my entire lifetime?
If you see spending 2 bucks on indie games "very poor spending habits", then please, go to your nearest shop, and check how many customers buy cigarettes or alcohol, then come back, and tell me again how poor my spending habits are.

You have a valid point about supporting indie developers. And I would rather spend $5 on one game I want than $2 on some shitty games (imo) that I would never play. But you claiming that you bought all those games to support PC gaming sounds like bullshit to me if you are paying $0.03 or less for a game. You are just building up a digital library to make your epeen bigger, while telling yourself it's to support indie devs...
And yes, people buying those vices also have poor spending habits, but don't even get me started on that, heh.

No, I'm actually supporting devs. Recently I've bought second copy of the witcher 3, on GOG, in addition to my steam copy, because I want to show my appreciation for the devs creating such awesome games, speaking of 1 & 2, which I enjoyed the most.
As in my response below - nobody here is forced to put games in bundles, make bundles, and buy bundles. If I didn't buy one of those "shitty bundles", I'd never discover major portion of awesome indie games I played, and I'm playing, such as Thomas Was Alone, or 100% Orange Juice. Moreover, thanks to them I not only bought and played those titles, but also looked at the other titles made by the same studio, searching for similar quality of content.
And you talking about my epeen is a classical sign of being jealous, so I know that no arguments will convince you into my ideology, I'm afraid.

EDIT: Ok, I'm apparently too tired to read. I thought you said paid not played. WHOOPS, sorry!!!
I just want to end with if you really did buy a second copy to support Witch 3, I respect that, and I hope you continue to support QUALITY games, not just some random shit cuz it came in a bundle with one decent game - just support the decent games so that more like it will be made. More people should do that.

Now imagine that you've spent couple years on your great game project, just to be forced by over-saturated market to sell it in 2 bucks bundle with another eleven games (sometimes even before release). So even if your product is beyond awesome, you'll split those two bucks between "hello world" and "I've just installed RPG Maker" and turn your hard work into "bundle repeat" circle of death. So thanks for your overwhelming support of independent developers, and hey, you might want to play around a bit, while farming those cards.

No, you're never forced to sell your project. You're the owner, YOU set the price. If game is good, it doesn't need to be in any shitty bundle to get noticed. Moreover, many games I actually play are indie games, with touhou being the most popular one of them, and the author of that game doesn't even care about steam, he has so big community around the world that he simply doesn't need to care at all.
I'm a developer myself, so I know a bit how it works (not releasing games on steam tho). Nobody here is forced to do anything, this includes developers wanting to put games in bundles, organisations wanting to actually make bundles, and players, buying those bundles. You can as well cry about -95% (or even more) gifts on steam, I also buy those, they're not bundled with 11 other hello world games, and what? Should I feel bad for spending 25 cents on a game? My time spent on writing this answer is worth more than the games which have been mentioned.

I have that spending habits, but I can manage it. I have a spreadsheet to track my budget. And I always follow my own rules of budgeting.
Comment has been collapsed.
Games are mostly meh but at least this time they priced it accordingly. I'd probably skip if it was higher but for just $2 with 6/12 sure, why not?
Comment has been collapsed.
Can somebody explain me how to maximize this with happy hours? :<
Comment has been collapsed.
It's mainly the monthly deals or such that gets the happy hour. Monday & Friday bundles rarely get happy hour.
But it works like this: If you buy the first day the bundle gets out (2nd tier) for yourself, you simply wait till it gets happy hour. You buy the bundle again (2nd tier again), but check the "Is this a gift"-box, and then you will receive 4 x bundles.

So I will have:
- T2 for lower price - 1 time
- T2 for higher price - 1 + 4 = 5 times?
Comment has been collapsed.
tier1: overpriced.
tier2: wat? $2? I actually think this might be the best bundle we ever had apart maybe from the early humble ones.
note: price as usual is only legit 24 hours. after that it might be something around $/€4.
Comment has been collapsed.
FYI: There are 28 card drops in this bundle, average selling price is around 8 cents USD. Selling all cards should you ~$1.65 after market fees.
Nice return considering the bundle is only $2.

I just checked my indiegala accounts and found that I have some unactivated keys from greenlight bundles (3-4 games).
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, I looked at the title of the games and realised I didn't have some of them in my library.
By the way the unused steam keys were already "unveiled" even though it wasn't used and I'm pretty sure I had never unveiled them before.
On the other hand the desura keys (even the used one) were hidden behind the "reveal" button, I really don't know what indiegala is doing with their system...

Just did a quick check, steam keys that were used (quite long ago) have this "This game was added to Carlo Steam account on xx...". That's how I know I had unused steam keys.
