Will you buy this?
"...susp[i]cious about new bundle sites..."
Indeed.

For some reason, it says "This deal has expired" in a red button at the top for me. I even tried reloading after killing my adblocker. Still nothing.
And it appears the bundle has raised a whole $4.
Seems shady.

Same here. They do have a rep on /r/gamedeals so the mods there have verified them at the very least.

I was asking for a link to the rep on reddit, but then I saw they posted right here in the thread. :-D

You shouldn't be getting the error anymore. The amount raised is the amount of money going to charity, it's not an active counter of the total amount that people have purchased.

Have everything so pass but this is the first I've heard about this site. I wonder who they are :/.

We are a brand new site and this is our debut bundle. Hopefully we can win your business with the next one!

Oh don't worry about it. I may have one too many games, so more often than not, I tend to own the majority of any given bundle :P. If it is any consolation, Pathologic Classic HD was on my wishlist before I won it :D.

We are giving 10% of the total Net Revenue (Amount paid minus taxes and payment processing fees) to SpecialEffect. That wording is provided to us by SpecialEffect in order to be in compliance with UK law. I am not sure why it says advertising revenue, but it needs to be there in order to be compliant.

Two steam movies that I don't already have? I might get this.

This is tempting for the cleaned up version of Pathologic classic, but at $4+ for the BTA, I'm not so sure.

10% is going to someone because Peter Molyneux screwed them over... that's almost a cause I can get behind.

Agreed, I've been talking to him on and off for 6 months now and I am floored by how mature he is. He has a big heart and a level head on his shoulders.

Hey Guys,
I am one of the co-founders of GameBundle.com. We can appreciate that it's hard to figure out whether a site is trustworthy or not, hopefully this link showing us as an official vendor for Devolver Digital will help ease those concerns: http://www.devolverdigital.com/static/vendors/
MatrixRaven, you definitely shouldn't be getting an error like that, we'll look into it.
The wording with regards to "advertising" is required wording from our agreement with SpecialEffect. It's boilerplate wording that must be used if we are going to specify a percentage amount which we have. I can assure you that we are giving 10% of the Net Revenue (Price paid minus payment processing fees and taxes)

No problem, we agree that the wording is a little odd :)

Not sure if it's just me but your counter is broken, it only shows $8 to me (the counter on the top).
Edit: or does it show the amount SpecialEffect is going to get? as I just saw it go to 9
Edit2: Yes, it does.. I am stupid.. It's clearly written over there, sorry =.=

No problem, you're not the first who has asked about this so don't beat yourself up :)

The bundle will end on March 19th, we'll update the site with the end date later (we had an issue with our countdown timer earlier today)

We were having server issues but they have since been fixed. You should be able to go through the login and sign up process efficiently now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, Bitcoin is definitely on our radar.
Can you give me a little more detail on the issues you're having with signing up? Can you try going to https://www.gamebundle.com/gb/register and let me know if you have the same issue?
Comment has been collapsed.
We were having some slight issues with amazon instances spinning up and down which was causing this problem. We think it's fixed now.

We have an upgrade system in place so if you only want to commit to BTA price right now, and you like the additional game that will be revealed on March 7th you can upgrade at that time.

I remember when there were only like 4 bundle sites. And there was only a bundle for each other like every other month.
Now there are like 10 and they have a new one every week. lol

Some very good games (at least Guacamelee that I've played, but Breach & Clear: Deadline also looks good, just haven't had a chance to play it yet.), but already own most of them so not sure. Only one I'm missing that I'm interested in is Pathologic Classic HD.
Comment has been collapsed.
I paid $1 for the first tier. There was an error message saying the transaction had been unsuccessful but when I checked my accounts onsite library I had received the keys. I've added 3 of them successfully to my Steam library - the other was for a game I already had. I received an email from paypal confirming the correct amount was charged to my account. I also noticed that there were more entries on the leader board than it showed for bundles sold ..
So in summary seems a legit site so far even if the web site maybe needs a bit of TLC on the development front ;)

The "Forgotten God" is a real person, read the info on the site.
Comment has been collapsed.
Except how many people are going to know or see that, or care for that matter? Now take that number and compare it to the number of people that were expecting god games to be in the bundle. So from a practical standpoint it's only going to serve to confuse people O_o
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, it's on the same page where you view information on the bundle and/or make a purchase, so...hopefully everyone?
I initially assumed it was god games too but they had a reason to name it what they did. Although "Forgotten God Bundle" would have been less confusing.
Edit: You completely changed the meaning of your post 5 minutes after I replied, so...
I'm not saying it's a perfect idea. I just replied because you didn't seem to understand the name.

Doesn't hurt to have another bundle site. Not convinced that it's a good deal compared to other bundle sites, but we shall see what the future holds. I'm not sure about the mystery game though. Doesn't say when the bundle ends. If the reveal is before the end of the bundle, that's okay, but if you are stuck going in blind, meh.
Comment has been collapsed.
The last day of the bundle is March 19th we had an issue with our countdown timer earlier so we took it down. We'll replace it with a static end date when activity on the site slows down a bit (possibly tonight). The Mystery game will be revealed on March 7th so you'll have plenty of time to make a purchase decision after it is revealed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can I ask what the rationale was for putting the mystery game in a static price tier? It seems like it makes better business sense to put mystery games in the BTA tier. With a mystery game in BTA, the implicit message is "If you're interested, beat the average now, because it's going to go up once we reveal this awesome mystery game!" and that pushes people to BTA when they normally might not. Obfuscating a top price tier game just seems like it'd lead to losing revenue due to people hesitating and then forgetting about it, especially when the reveal is more than a week out.
Comment has been collapsed.
Great question and the honest answer is that we probably should have put the mystery game in a different tier and changed the games up a little bit. It's a learning experience for us as well.
The good news for our customers is that we have an upgrade system in place and if they think the game is worth it when it is revealed then they'll be able to easily upgrade their purchase.
Thanks fo rthe feedback, we appreciate it.

Thanks for your answer. It seems like you guys are making a great effort to provide unique, worthwhile bundles, so I'll be keeping an eye on you and hoping you do well. (Personally, you had me with Pathologic on this one, and not just because it's never been bundled before.)
I did notice the upgrade feature. Are you planning on sending out emails to people who purchased the lower tiers when the mystery game is revealed? I could personally use a reminder.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, when we reveal that game we'll be sending out an email to all of our subscribers letting them know which game it is and that if they've already purchased they have the ability to upgrade.
