Steam | November 2016 - Rally to Restore Fear and/or Sanity in the Steam Community

I was going to gamepump the shit out of my steam library, but they don't take paypal.

I don't want to give them my CC info.
 
The main reason I was convinced to give my money to Game Pump is that LinkedIn link given by Nabs about an Humble Monthly initiator who has been working for them. Otherwise, I would have been super wary about their business.

Wait. It was in a monthly bundle that I paid for a demo, right? I guess I never learn. :D
 
For those who missed it on HB:

Hopefully it's not that Boogerman game ;) Or the GBC release of Shantae :V
Honestly at this point if it is Genesis/SNES games, I'd be curious to see what they can release/publish.

A demo and at least 5 other titles that you got for around $12.
So that'd be 12÷5= $2.40 per game.
Assuming instead that 2 of the games in the bundle only interested you, you'd have gotten each game for $6.
 
Wayforward has a largue catalogue of titles, but maybe they port a game from another studio.

Maybe Contra 4 or Justice League Heroes: The Flash.

Yeah, I know. I am not salty about that. It is just as in these TellTale games.

Wok won't forget about that.
 
Ooo, I'd be down with some Contra 4 and Aliens Infestation ports with the graffix on their respective level three levels tightened up!
 
I am with you, guys, I have already subscribed, but... I have discovered there is also a random draw going on.

Ahh. This portion of the site threw me:

HOW GAMEPUMP WORKS

We partner with video game veterans of today and yesteryear to reclaim lost gaming artifacts.

Which is a really fancy way of saying, we revive classic game libraries from the proverbial basements of some of the top video game publishers in the world and help bring them to modern hardware.

IN RETURN, WE'RE GRANTED A ONE-TIME MASSIVE DISCOUNT FOR OUR ACTIVE SUBSCRIBERS.

Don't burn through them all right now, you GameChump.


EDIT: I'm not trying to keep beating a dead horse or trump the pump here, but this interview seems to suggest the subscription may actually only be for receiving a huge discount on a game, not the game itself:

We don't want to "force" users to subscribe in order to receive these games, they belong on Steam. We do want to encourage subscription by offering a massive discount, because subscriptions help us fund the acquisition of these licenses and cover the future development costs associated with bringing them back.

Serious talk though, I'd love it if they manage to get some Data East titles. IIRC, didn't Devolver Digital or Night Dive tweet that they'd like to get Karnov re-released on PC platform?

What I understand is Game Pump is not like Humble Original, which produces the development of a monthly game which is exclusively released for Humble Monthly subscribers (hello zky, you really miss that Fidel game, am I right?). In contrast, Game Pump produces a monthly game which is released on Steam, but happens to also be available at a massively discounted price, that is for the price of a subscription to Game Pump.
 
Will you be able to subscribe to GamePump until January? I'm outta bundle cash for the month, having subscribed to humble monthly.
