Greetings community,

Just a reminder that the policy for Humble Bundles apply for the new IndieRoyale Bundles. You may only submit unused gift URLs and not separate Steam keys from the bundles themselves.

http://www.indieroyale.com/

A reminder for the rules:

  • When you submit an IndieRoyale Bundle, it is only acceptable to have an unactivated gift URL to provide to the winner. Members giving away Steam keys and the like will be warned, have their giveaways removed, and if they continue, may result in a suspension.

  • These rules also apply to additional keys within the Humble Bundle. Please do not giveaway separate keys, such as Sanctum, or create a giveaway for the leftover Desura keys. Unused URLs for the original Humble only, please.

Thank you for your cooperation.

-regards


If you are having issues with activating your Steam keys, please contact IndieRoyale.

Why?

The policy should be an outright ban of bundles as people putting up things they ripped people off for 1 cent to profit themselves should go drown in the diarrhea of an AIDS patient in their final death throes.

It's quite improbable that someone bought indieroyale for 1 cent because that is not how the price system works. It's not humble bundle. This is a different organization. Everytime someone buys the pack at the lowest price it raises the price a little. Anytime someone buys the pack at a higher price it will lower the price for the next buyers. Amazingly the price has floated between 4 and 5 bucks.

A bunch of people would have to buy it at the highest price to push it to 1 cent.

AFAIK, the minimum price is $2.00.

I don't think the first rule really makes sense here considering the price not only exists, but is also getting higher by the minute.
EDIT: That also means the more people buy it the more money the bundle will make. So allowing it is the better option here.
EDIT_02: H..Hello? Am I invisible? Oh, y.. you're just going to ignore me, huh? awkward pause Ok.

well the pricing system is a bit complicated. if you pay over the minimum it lowers the price for everyone else, the more you pay the more the price goes down

so if notch comes along and donates a few thousand dollars the price will probably just go back to 0.01 for a while

Actually it'll only go down 0.31€ if someone donates 2000€.

i think it scales depending on the current minimum. or something, i'm not sure. but i suppose if multiple people get stars in a short period of time it'll drop quite low

The Humble Bundles only have a few people that donate >$1000. Do you really think this one will get more?
If I understand correctly it depends on the maximum too. 0_o

Humble Bundles are for charity, these aren't, so I doubt anyone will pay over $1000.

Still won't likely exceed $1000. Highest right now is $302.59 by Anonymous.

Ok, I think I got it. The gold star is 8 times the highest donation(????), the silver one is some percentage of the gold one etc. So the only way to cut the price down to 0.01€ is for 5 or more people to donate 500€, 501€, 502€, 503€, 504€(in that order, otherwise it's a silver star)...

You can test it by moving the slider around to see how much the price changes. Right now a $300 donation will drop the price by $2.

You cannot submit these Bundles while they are on currently sale. It's the same policy as the Humble Bundle.

Why does the same rule apply? There's nothing about charity and it's impossible to cheat them - they set the price. So the logic for hibs doesn't apply here. (the duplicate code thing should be sorted out before they are allowed, however)

The other point of not allowing these bundles during the sale is to avoid the initial flood of these giveaways. It's not just about "cheating the charity", but to avoid 100 Sanctum keys being submitted by the end of the day. Considering a lot of people received a Sanctum key through IGN Prime trial or when it was on sale, a lot of people will probably have a Sanctum Steam key laying around.

The flood will just happen after it stops being sold.

EDIT: Also, are keys allowed to be submitted separately, or will an unused url for the entire bundle be required, like humble bundles?

As I've said before, the policy for the Humble Bundle will apply to the IndieRoyale. Unused giftable URLs only, please.

I don't think we'll see a flood of keys, the only reason we did for HIB was because people could pick it up for 1 cent.
With this they have to actually pay a few dollars, while not much it's probably more then sufficient to dissuade the mass piles of people that would pick up 20 bundles and pay 20 cents and distribute them.

Disable the contents of the bundle from being given away but allow the bundle? Does that fix the problem?

I agree, I think the indieroyale ppl we're smart about the minimum but the dupe codes though well...idk. I guess I can't blame them since they've probably never done this before.

Considering IndieRoyale is DESURA I'm a tad surprised at the somewhat bungled start to the whole thing

Comment has been collapsed.

I agree that it is a lot harder to cheat them since they set a rising minimum price, but at least on the first day, there's also that thing about supporting the indie developers? Seems like a lot of people are glossing over that because the overused word "charity" wasn't included in the product pricing.

Due to popular demand, and the nature of the IndieRoyale giveaways, seeing as you have to pay the minimum or better of the sale, we will allow these bundles to be submitted while they are still being sold. cg will put them in the dropdown menu and you will only be able to submit unused giftable URLs as a giveaway.

Just Posted on the site
PLEASE NOTE. We are having some issues with Steam keys. While we resolve the issues, we have disabled all Steam keys. If you have already purchased a bundle, or purchase one at this time, you will receive Steam keys once the issue is resolved.

Please follow their Twitter account for updates!

They will hopefully get to the bottom of the issue soon. If the Steam key issue persists 24 hours, we will see what will do then.

How will SteamGifts know if the code is from the Indie Royale or a code from a key site, like Grean Man Gaming? I just actived ARES (Indie Royale key) and it comes up as "A.R.E.S. Comp" in Licenses + Subscriptions and Store Transactions.

They won't, it's reliant on the person running the giveaway not telling an outright lie if questioned about it.

The Sanctum key shows up as

They had posted on their Twitter earlier that they intended to add Gemini Rue Steam keys to the bundle, but I just noticed that their post about it has been deleted from their Twitter feed. I hope you're able to get a response from them about Gemini Rue.

Due to the number of copies of Sanctum and DLC, ARES, and Nimbus being submitted from the IndieRoyale bundle, I will comment on your giveaway asking if this is a key from the bundle. We ask that if it's not a key from the bundle, such as a Sanctum key from the IGN Prime trial, if you could please update your description. If I cannot contact you before your giveaway ends, it may be removed.

Shouldn't there be a check for the games I have on my account before entering an IR giveaway? I've all the 3 games aviable for steam and it still would allow me to entry.
