Indie Bundle Thread - There's another one?
- Thread starter MRORANGE
- Start date
there have been some broken sword codes given out in some threads already, but I don't have any codes yet... granted I just bought the base bundle (for now) so who knows what's up lol
based off this post I am going to guess they are separate but I can't be sure.
Yeah, I just saw that myself a second ago and so I came back here to edit my post with the info. Thanks for the reply though.

IndieGala have some weird math
Total payments: $2974.7
Purchases #: 674
Average Purchase: 5.35
Yet 2975.7/674 is ~4.40

For those wondering what the week 2 games are in the Gala bundle, if the stuff pulled out of the site code are true, the games are Worms Pinball and Alien Breed 3.

Well, thanks for the info. I don't like Alien Breed.
sounds good to me... for me Indie Gala 9 > humble bundle 6 but that is mostly due to the fact that I am a sucker for worms games lol
Probably the best indie gala yet.
I don't have them either. :/
I ended up contacting them at support@indiegala.com at 1:12pm my time and they got back to me at 1:33pm
their response to me was
I believe the fixed was just in regards to my own case. You will likely need to shoot them an email and they should fix it.

Didn't get my keys yet.
And that's why Humble Bundle is the best and biggest around.

How much $ are 900 Points worth?

HIB locks 1/6 game behind the BTA, while the 5 non-BTA games are all fantastic. Gala locks 7/11 (7/9 if you ignore the Android games). There is a pretty big difference here.
Technically $9, but all the items in the Gala store have limits on the number of points you can use at once.
which is a shame because me and my 18600 points could really use some more indie game codes
Yeah, you pay like $1 early on and you are out what? Dustforce? I mean you even get the extra bonuses!

Exactly.
The last Humble Bundle (5) made 5+mil, but so far we're "only" at 1.1m for HiB6.
I'm kinda surprised how quickly HiB6 came out after 5, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it, or if it's just the games in the bundle, or bundle fatigue, or what. Hmmm.

It's the games. HIB6 is great (I owned every game except one already...) but HIB4/5 shit all over it.
I think bundle 5 being a lot stronger is the main factor.
Still, its ticking up nicely from where I'm standing, and on track with our expectations.
HIB5 lineup was crazy, it was like a compilation of the best and most famous indie games of the past 5 years for dirt cheap. Can't expect any other bundle to compete.

What? Director's Cut is on Steam, and is the only version of the first game that has ever been available. Now, if you're talking about the Remastered version of the second game, they did actually update it some time ago.

Humble Bundle 5 was unbelievable. 6 is a collection of fine games as well, but not on the same level.
Speaking of bundle sales, it looks like the Indie Royale bundle is falling a bit short of their usual sales as well. They typically average around 13,000 sales. But as I post this, they're struggling to make it to 8,000.
Both Groupies & Indie Gala have had a bit of a fall off recently as well.

Plus some of these are older, making it likely more people have them.

There's more than one way of considering the average. You've worked out the mean; I'm guessing that they're using the median.
Ah, that's good to hear. You guys deserve all the success!
Thanks. Nice to be able to squeeze out some 6 figure sales over a 2 week period 3 years after release. Long live digital download!

People that pay attention to these bundles already have these games from Steam sales or something else. I know I'm not getting this one because I have most of them.
Well, at least I don't own Wizorb yet.

I think it'd be interesting to look at all the HIBs separately and calculate how much it would have taken to buy all of the games featured at their lowest Steam Summer / Holiday sale pricing VS the $5.50-7 it takes to buy them through HIB
For example:
Dustforce - 4.99
Rochard - 3.39
Shatter - 2.49
SPAZ - 2.49
Torchlight - 2.99
Vessel - 3.74
So you're looking at about $20 right there. HIB is a 75% discount versus buying all of them through individual Steam sales. (I'd note that the total value is also higher than HIB V)
If you add in the bonus games:
BIT.TRIP.RUNNER - 2.49
Gratuitous Space Battles - 4.99
Jamestown - 2.49
Wizorb - 1.49
A little over $30, or around an 87% discount. (And again, total value also higher than HIB V)
I think this basically demonstrates that even if a lot of the games in the HIB are quite old and commonly featured on Steam sales, the discounts are still excellent. Unfortunately, if you're a hyper rational calculating type, then it also suggests you're basically an idiot for buying any indie games outside the HIB.
