I bought it full price when it was released. But I don't really see it an issue. I'd like to think that every time you pay something full price you do it partly because there is something in the product you want to support. That support doesn't always go that far so seeing games that have sold poorly trying to make a buck in a bundle, that's hard to be ticked off about. If anything it's little bit sad.

What exactly did they do?
Not sure what to think of The Banner Saga yet. Art and music are good. It could use some niceties, like subtitles and sliders for sound levels. Story looks linear so far. I already got one guy killed; apparently resting inside of battle doesn't heal.
Pace of turn-based battles is good. The battle system seems to encourage going after the the most powerful foes first. Positioning is important. The different specials that the characters have is the primary way to make the battles strategic/interesting. Don't know yet how effective this is. A tutorial on the interfaced and the gameplay mechanics is integrated into the story; you get fed a bit at a time.

Hmm. Was anyone able to snag my key? I had a brainfart and posted it after the raffle was over.
Uh, seems strange.
Indie Gala is based in Italy (actually in the condo where lives my grandmother), but I don't recall some new weird taxes being added recently.
I could be wrong tho, as at the moment our dear government is trying to fill up our debt creating random taxes on everything, so the "bundle tax" could be an actual possibility.
Anyway this made me super curious! Could you please paste me their disclaimer part related to this tax?
(Autoquote for clarity)
I finally found the part of the terms of service where they talk about that tax.
It's basically the Italian VAT (22% on almost every good).
Fact is, it's always been around, it's not like is some kind of novelty tax created in the last couple of weeks...
I never bought myself anything on Indie Gala so I don't know, but if they're "enforcing" it only now, it could mean two things:
1) in the past they included it in the total price; a perfectly legal thing here, if you aren't selling to other businesses (it's legal anyway, but I've never seen something like that); so probably there was some whining somewhere and they was forced to write it explicitly everywhere;
2) they never paid the Italian VAT and they were finally discovered, so now are making their customers to pay it.
Anyway, what seems strange is that US peeps are saying they're not paying it.
Well, fuck this shit, when I sold (business speaking) something to outside-EU I declared everything to the "Italian IRS" and I paid taxes on that. :'(
Now, should I buy the $1 dollar tier for Two Brothers, buy the 3.99 tier while it's down in price or wait for the Happy Hour and pay 7.99 for two copies?
I guess if I want, I should buy the 3.99 tier, since that's the same price as two copies later down the road.
Hmmm... time to watch videos of games I never heard about on a Indie Bundle then.

I think it was something about adding a second tier on the last day and making people that had paid more than that buy the bundle again. It's been a while, and I'd pretty much dropped them off my radar.

Risk of Rain is soooo good, even though my FPS drops in the later stages, dat pixel count
It makes the disconnect between 4$ (which is what, 2.8?) and almost 4 all the more galling, really.

ModBot has a sequel now?
There's at least a trilogy that we know of.

Sweet! The new Indie Gala is out and it's awesome. Of course this is coming from the person that buys just about every Indie Gala (compared to maybe one Humble Bundle), but still...this is good!
Yeah well, that's something we're kind of used here (meaning that it always piss us off, but what can we do?).
Like, I'm seeing lots of 1$:1€ conversions + Italian VAT (22%), that on cheap stuff is basically fine, but OMG now that I'm building a new PC, comparing prices between like Newegg and Italian stores hurts a lot.

I have had Torchlight 2 since launch but have not played much of it due to D2, D3 and POE. Is there controller support for it? I know it was out on 360 and if I am going to play a game with a mouse and keyboard I may aswell stick to POE.
Need For Speed games confuse me with reusing the same names. I'm never sure which one is which on PC.
I would easily get that IndieGala bundle just for Ballpoint Universe, Gravity Badgers, and Two Brothers, together very much worth the price I'm sure. Alas they don't seem to offer any way for me to purchase it since I don't use Paypall or Google Wallet (personal decisions, won't get into them).

Hush you! NFS: Most Wanted is one of my favorite arcade racing games ever.
All of them are on PC, except the mobile/handheld spinoffs.
Yeah I guess the last two I played were apparently the last two good ones, glancing at some reviews, not even taking into account the Origin thing.
I hope you mean the original NFS: Most Wanted!

I just realized I kinda want Strike Suit Zero. Entered that giveaway.
Rivals is supposed to be good ... on console. On PC there is an obnoxious 30 fps cap. I really didn't care for The Run.
Nope, though I did like that one too. NFS: MW 2012 is basically Burnout Paradise with licensed cars and way better graphics. I have spent so much time with that game it is practically criminal.

Has anyone had a problem with Indie Gala not giving them their keys? Its not even showing up on my profile despite having a receipt.
no controller support for Torchlight 2. Although I'm sure there are some joy2key profiles floating around if you feel like messing with that.
For what it's worth I felt that Torchlight 2 has way more personality than Path of Exile.
Until Reaper of Souls and the fixing of Diablo 3, Torchlight 2 is probably my favorite loot game.
I had no issue and im a newbie.

Lol $7.50 for Jedi Outcast, my favorite game ever, but damn Disney.

Member
hmm maybe I will try again. Maybe its because it almost feels like a single player game
It is the Jedi Knight collection. I made the same mistake.
It's 7.50 for the entire Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series.

I get that it's trying to look like a gameboy game, but this is taking it a bit far.
So it seems you have to press 1-9 to change how it fits your monitor. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do much for me. Will look into it a bit.
Alright, it seems to be an issue with the overlay. Disabling it fixes things. Phew! The game looks nice now.
edit: Pressing Escape will quit the game. I'm glad I figured that out early.
