There's also a FEAR Complete Pack with FEAR 1, 2 and 3.
looks like they are gearing up for thanksgiving sale, or it could be nothing. added 3 packs just now.
I wish the Assassin's Creed Pack didn't include the Revelations preorder, I'd have bought the first 3 games if they were reasonably priced but that's just going to send the price of any bundle way up.

Looks like they're really confident about their "big game". Wonder which one it is.
Not sure if I want to pre-order, I don't like not knowing what I'm buying.

From that Cthulhu link:
When did they announce this? HOLY SHIT. I Love the first two, and I only paid for them 1,80... Great news!
Also... Has the Indie Royale preorder have a fixed price? If you pay more than 11 they just say "thanks for supporting indie games!". Maybe if you preorder they'll give you an extra game or DLC, but I don't know, I don't want to pay without knowing what games will they bundle together this time.

'Really Big' bundle, Really Big Sky?

Yup. I'd gladly pre-order to avoid the nuisance that happened in the first few hours of the last bundle, but they should at least tell us what games will be in it. I'm sure they have already decided the contents of the bundle by now, so what is the harm in telling a customer what he's paying for?
Dungeons of Dredmor please!!
From the sounds of your open letter, you may well be right: "(Incidentally, 'Really Big' in its title is a reference to one of the included games and the scope/genre of the others, rather than it being a massive 1000-in-1 pack!)"
Also this. I assume they want to preserve some sort of "secrecy" for people who don't preorder it, so they get the launch excitement like last time, but since they're not even announcing a proper release date now, I can't see that happening. I'll probably end up preordering it anyway in the end, but I don't like not being told what I'm buying or when exactly I'll get it.spindoctor said:

For those too lazy, here's the Indie Royale open letter that details the preorder system and other changes.
Reading their Twitter, I've also found out that:
Reading their Twitter, I've also found out that:
- There's no preorder bonus, but they are considering something like that for future bundles.
- The Really Big Bundle will be available next week
- The 3.99$ preorder price is fixed. Once the bundle launches, if you haven't preordered you can't buy it at a minimum cost of 2.99$
- Not a single game from the Really Big Bundle has ever been in a Humble Bundle nor a Indie Royale Bundle.
Isn't that exactly what it still does, judging from the most recent person in this thread who did it?

why is Quake so expensive. It's like a million year old game, and I've never played it. Watching some frag videos and playing a bit of Deathmatch Classic with bots makes me really want to play the original.
But 9.99... that's pretty expensive for such an old game.

Bought, then just realized that I'll probably have all those games
Yup, the reason why I'm not going to preorder. No sense in buying the bundle if I already have all the games, or that they're games I won't like.
Besides, I can wait.
Doubt it, people use VPNs all the time to unlock russian keys with very little problems. I haven't heard of anyone getting banned for using a VPN to unlock something.

They've run Thanksgiving/Black Friday sales the last few years.
I know. Just not sure if it'll happen today, thursday, or friday. IIRC, last years happened on thursday.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Last years happened ON Thanksgiving and ran through the weekend. I imagine it will probably be the same this year.

Good for them. I liked Breath of Death VII. Haven't Played Ctulhu Saves The World yet.
Are you named after the band SPK?
Pretty sure it started Wednesday last year.
My post had a slight error in that I meant to say the Steam uninstaller no longer deletes the folder playing host to Steam's own installation folder (for example, if you installed Steam to C:\Games\Steam, the uninstaller would, by default, delete C:\Games). I suspect you may have rightfully misunderstood my post in its quoted form to mean that the Steam uninstaller no longer deletes Steam's own folder. Obviously, that's not the case, and if it were... well, the uninstaller wouldn't be doing its job very well at all.

Hm. Everything I've found on the 'nets from the time said it started on Thanksgiving.

I guarantee you it was wednesday, as per Steam account history :
25 Nov 20104,49 Purchase
Indie Story Pack
I'm pretty sure the indie packs were a part of the sale last year. Last year the 25th was wednesday.

My calender says that November 25th, 2010 was a Thursday.
But it does appear that the sale began the day before Thanksgiving last year, as that Shacknews article I posted had deals in it and was posted on the 24th.

Your article was written on Wednesday even.
Hmm. Anyone know if you get a separate Steam key for Crayon Physics Deluxe and Aquaria? I already have those and it'd be nice to be able to give them away.
I have all of these =(

Yes, you get two codes (one for the Introversion games and one for the bonus games).
Excellent, thank you!
Has a good chamce of being a daily sale. don't expect more than 25-33%.

It won't be (unless Steam accidentally pulls a SSFIV).
