The Ball is in your court now. What will you do?
I'm confused why you attacking Groupees is a thing. Sure they have some ways to go to improve but they don't deserve hate.

I dont think it was a straight up attack. Still Grupees pretty much became synonymous with bottom of the barrel showelware as far as their games are concerned.

I am honestly not sure what they bring to the PC bundle market at the moment. There was a time where they had their own niche. I bought several bundles from them. But they've been going downhill for a while now.

Anyone who engages in exploitative business practices like blind preorders deserves whatever criticism they get.... in particular when the quality of the content is consistently lacking (and using the word "lacking" is being kind here)..... and they have been doing this for a long time. It's a dishonest practice. Though so is what Fanatical has been doing with all of the mystery keys stuff lately so they aren't alone in that.
edit: of course there was no blind purchase on this one so kudos for not doing that for once. And yes, Humble Monthly is a semi-blind purchase but at least you get to see the headliner(s) first and you know that they have the clout to provide premium quality titles. People like to debate the quality of each one but putting aside personal tastes I can't really think of one offhand where I would say it didn't offer good value for the money. Not so with Groupees game bundles. Well, not for a very long time anyway.....

I'm not sure why people can't have different opinions.

I'm just glad I didn't see any pre-order or I would own it, all of it, AGAIN!

Definitely will buy Tier 2 for The Cat Lady, such a great game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you know that The Cat Lady is the first in a trilogy? 2nd game is called Downfall and the third is Lorelai.
Comment has been collapsed.
I certainly didn't!
I've just checked the two other games... Hum I wouldn't call that a trilogy since the subsequent titles aren't revolving around the same protagonist. Yeah, I was expecting the other games to have Susan as the main character. But I've wishlisted them anyway. Thanks for the heads up.
Comment has been collapsed.
The main characters in each game are completely different but there's some character overlap that tie the games together. At least until I get a chance to buy and play Lorelai, don't have that one yet myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually Downfall was the first game, it just got some more polish before being released on Steam and therefor appeared as if it was the second.

Grab Bag is in highest tier and can include non-game items according to its description?
Comment has been collapsed.
One of the possible games for grab bag according to chat is Call of Juarez

Might be useful:
Kingdom Wars 2: Battles will soon be available as a Definitive Edition and people who own the original get it free :)
As a reminder - everyone who purchased the original game, will get a free copy of Definitive Edition - a new game added to their Steam library. This will automatically happen on release day. And games are not compatible (saved games, progress e.t.c)

Guns of Icarus Alliance was marked No CV in ~June 2018. IIRC that was when Humble gave it away.
Also, best CV you can get for Xotic DLC Bundle is 0.30 if someone gives it away as one of the 3 DLC that the sub includes.
Doesn't matter to me since I'm getting T1 and keeping Xotic+DLC. Thanks for the rundown on Groupees!

I think the "Hits" in the bundle title might be an anagram.
Comment has been collapsed.
You mean "This", right? ;p :D
Too bad I'm only interested in the Grab Bag and it's a bummer that Groupees forces me to buy the whole bundle for it.
Edit: lol, couldn't resist and just bought it and luckily got my CoJ, yay! :D

You mean a Groupees Mistery Bundle? Don't give them ideas.....
Comment has been collapsed.
Soooo... I get it they probably had too many leftovers but to make that pass as a Be Mine bundle... and some kind of best of at that... really, Groupees? That's cringy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well that's depending on a lot of people coming back to the site to buy who may have abandoned it long ago. But yes that'd be nice to see Groupees get back on the map.
Comment has been collapsed.
I bet this will easily be one of the best selling bundles in Groupees history
Considering that a lot of buyers are bundle addicts and thus, probably have the majority if not all the games already, I doubt it. But time will tell. :)

I bought Be Mine 1 the first time around. Tier 1 is worth for the music. :D
And I personally really like Ring Runner.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think T2 is well worth it for Betrayer. Personally, I enjoyed the game a lot :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I have all but 3 from the whole pack, but this is pretty cool, kind of a blast from the past. I do remember getting most of these games from exactly them :)
Betrayer, The Cat Lady, Ring Runner, Ittle Dew, Xotic, The Ball - pretty unique and well-rounded games. especially The Ball. harr harr Not fresh so not as great for many of us, but this is a pretty decent bundle IMO.

over the coming months, you will see different type of bundles. some new concepts, and some just your bundles you know.
Shifty SlugGroupees HQ08:14
So this was a bonus bundle, to celebrate the be mine series. next month the final one. Be Mine: Endgame
Shifty SlugGroupees HQ08:18
Also some less presale type stuff, cause while it is nice to get some cheaper bundles. It is not as fun for everyone to go in blind.

Small note ^^
the main barter link leads to the wrong bundle
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow. They sold a grand total of 534 bundles... I'm wondering how many of those were only the first tier?
Comment has been collapsed.
4, cause those 530 are fake.
(yes i'm being funny. kinda)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you made me smile so that's that. :3
I might be too cynical, but Groupees inflating the number of bundle sold wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm not thinking about this one in particular though.
Edit: Who's this Jo / Jonathan person? The guy bought the full bundle (at least) five times. O_o Weird.
Comment has been collapsed.
well dropping bonus goals and increasing the number of top contributor prizes would do the trick. (Or in the case of the BABs, doing the one game min helps)
Comment has been collapsed.
dropping bonus goals
Which they have done in the past.
Comment has been collapsed.
I really am curious on if those "bonus" games and albums were contracted to specific bundles or just to be sold in one bundle (that can altered based on if those bonus thresholds are met)
Comment has been collapsed.
not that weird if think you're at Groupees.
also answering you here from that other bundle: a few time after i've made that joke i was ready to grab it... so that Jonathan is an hella lucky person! ):
Comment has been collapsed.
I do think this kind of highlights just how much bundles have changed over the years. That tier 1 really does not look overly exciting by modern standards, but when Groupees started doing game bundles, people praised it. All in all though, not a bad bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
i've read this comment, on mobile. then read all the comments and thoroughly checked each and every game.
but now cannot click. guessing i'm late, as usual :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, bundle is over. You did not miss out on a whole lot :P It was an alright bundle, I just found it interesting that the $1 tier was considered really good at $6 back in 2012. How things change, eh?
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably because it was a new thing back then and Groupees seemed to concentrate on (good?) indie games and not shovelware like I've seen lately. Nowadays, it looks like they will bundle any game just to have bundles to sell. I might be too harsh on them too, but this is how I feel about them now
Comment has been collapsed.
I just went through my purchase history, and they wanted $6 for what was the $1 tier in this bundle.
Wasteland Angel
Sideway
Xotic + DLC
BEEP
The Ball
Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals
Imagine paying $6 for that kind of bundle today!
But yeah, at least it was not just all shovelware, some of those games might not have been the best, and by modern bundle standards that's a pretty high price, but they were functional games.
