Buying this year's jingle jam?
Note seen on Reddit:
Hey Yogscast subreddit mod here. Several of the games are limited to 50,000 copies or so, but several of the other games are "unlimited". I don't know which are which, as I don't have any inside information as what games are offered ahead of time, as I don't deal with the business side of the Yogscast (being just a lowly subreddit mod). We are unlikely to get more keys for the limited amount games.
But we will still offer the bundle when we reach the 50,000 mark (It will be clearly labeled that some of the current and future games will not be available, but I'm not exactly sure how it will be labeled), but those who buy it after that won't get some of the current games and future games to be revealed. We're on Day 2, and we've already made over $500,000. 2 more days like this and we'll reach 50,000 copies sold or so.

Shadwen is a nice addition but I wouldn't be surprised to see it in a future BTA. On track, but not convinced to get it.

Yes but you also get to donate to a charity of your choice. I was gonna give the whole 30$ to Planned Parenthood but then felt bad about just ignoring their chosen charities so I split it evenly between all of them, still 4 more dollars to my personal chosen charity than they'd have gotten otherwise.

I enjoyed Shadwen when it was given away in the Humble Monthly awhile back, so if the next few days are decent releases that I don't already own, I'll probably end up buying this.

My bad, I meant the Shadwen Sneak Peak that they had given to Humble Monthly subscribers. Not the full game.

Am i the only one that does not believe in bots that steal keys,after all i have gotten a few keys off public forums like reddit and such after being up for a spell.
None the less i still think using things like you suggested do help slow down people who just like to copy and paste without a simple thanks you aka leeches.

good bundle, but still too expensive for what it offers.
Comment has been collapsed.
Actually just a part goes for charity. hb or any other donate whatever money is left after they pay their expenses.
If you have a true altruistic spirit, I really recommend you donate directly to any institution that you would like to help.
And I also don't think that next games will be better than soon-to-be-bta... :T

Yogscast Bundles work slightly different. Unlike normal Humble Bundles where the buyer gets to decide how to split their money between Humble, developer and charitiy 100% automatically goes to charity (although you still get to pick which one). The keys are usually donated by developers.
Comment has been collapsed.
I thought that "proceeds" they mention the "rest" (after pay their "basic" expenses)... I don't think devs gives 50.000 keys to receive absolutely nothing. They may don't receive "profit" when they say "all proceeds go to charity", but these 50.000 keys probably have a base value that humble bundle is paying them to provide those keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
There are no money being cut of from the bundle proceeds , 100% gos to charity , humble bo doesn't pay the devs anything since it's the yogscast contacting them and getting the keys .
And yeah they do give the keys and receive no money in return , that's the whole point of a charity drive ....
Comment has been collapsed.
would you mind to share your source, please?
edit: also, if devs are providing free keys to charity, devs are the only one who is doing charity. we are just the people who transform digital products in money (because digital games worth nothing to those institutes). the real donators are the devs who is giving their own payment. in the end, the buyers are just buyers.

That's some weird ass way of looking at things ...
You are kinda forgetting the people who spend 5 to 8 hours a day trying to entertain us .but yeah cheap bundle games it's all bout that ....
Not to mention negotiating with the devs so thy can bring us so much stuff I the first place .
Kudos to the devs it's cool from every single one of them , including the ones that made those quote: shitty games.
But in th end that's a nonprofit bundle targeted an th yogscast fanbase funding their traditional charity drive for whats it like 5 years no ...
Comment has been collapsed.
I think you fell in the merchandising psychology... You see only what the seller shows to you.
If "weird ass" means "how it works" I do agree with you (til someone shows me otherwise of course).
Kudos to devs assuming what you said is true... They are trully donating their money when everyone else is just being part of a business: running a company, selling things, buying things, being sponsored...

If today's game was good i would definetely buy, but instead they put a game that was a few cents in china
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you seriously not get that quality of 1$, 28 games bundle can be same as 30$, 30 games bundle? That's plain stupid to think otherwise that if you can pay less for low indie quality games you should pay more, just because it has never been bundled before.
Comment has been collapsed.
True, but I don't buy these bundles for charity. I buy them for the games. I donate to two charities monthly and don't get anything beside some magazine twice a year from Red Cross.
At least for me, this is more like a cheap way of getting games I might play one day, and charity is just a plus. :p
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed.
Whether the bundle is intended by the creators as pure charity or not, it's up to buyers to decide what he / she wants from the bundle. If it's considered as a way to acquire cheap games, then it is.
I bought it and was annoyed the latest unlock is 4 years old (or so) game. Probably will resell this bundle later. xD

No, that's just appropriate based on principle. If person A blacklists person B, then person A shouldn't be able to enter person B's giveaways. There should be an optional setting to automatically make this a 2-way street imo (if one so desires), but unfortunately there isn't.
Comment has been collapsed.
It would cause potentially massive drama if you instantly knew when someone blacklistead you tho .
Like people get offended by the slightest thing nowadays
So if you are cancerous person you can just use that and blackmail or just flat out start a flame war with the person who blacklisted you .
Comment has been collapsed.
I just blacklisted you cause i found a spike of 2 blacklist while i was having the argument with you ... so i checked and found out it was you who blacklisted me .
I dont think i ever blacklisted anyone cause he has an opinion different then my , thats sad ... and as you said Pathetic :|
Comment has been collapsed.
And there we go. You keep telling me how pathetic it is to blacklist someone from difference in an opinion, yet you do the same to others. So plz, stop preaching mr. Jesus.
Edit: Just to add to this, you need to play it something better than what you really are, and that in my books, is very pathetic. I know I'm a dick to people with different opinions, and I accept it. You, on the other hand, don't.
Comment has been collapsed.
Um not really m8. you just refuse to accept that there is a world outside the tiny bouble you build around yourself , so anyone who has different opinion then you is just automatically not worth existing . :)
Meanwhile i mostlikely Blacklistead Lucifera by accident as part of the regifters purge , simply missclicking on my tablet ... as it seem it had happened to over a dozen people in the past . So i instantly removed him .
Meanwhile you are just looking for a reason to justify yourself as being a dick and making it seems like its okay .
I mean its fine if you want to be that way , its just not really how the world works :)
You will learn it the hard way sooner or later.
Anyway have a nice day .

Kholat and Back to Bad are nice little games but they where in bundles before. also heard good things about psychonauts... rest is, at least for me, "meh"
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah thinking the same. for 28€ i need more than 2 nice games :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Perhaps a silly question... I bought this bundle because I like the idea of charity and could select a personal charity where the money goes too. I will probably keep some games for myself and some will go up for trade or gifts here on steamgift. But I've read on the hb-site and here that there are limited numbers for some games. Do I 100% be assigned to one of those keys or do I have to make sure I click the redeem button and let the key appear even if I don't plan on using it directly?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm actually amazed how many people look at the bundle and say meh it's not worth my money ..
Ofc it's not it was never meant to be worth the money , it's for charity ....
It's essentially you giving away 30$ for charity that's the whole point of the bloody thing .
I'm srsly losing hope in loads of people here...
Comment has been collapsed.
If you want to give 30$ to charity, give it directly...
If you buy this bundle, you don't give to charity. It's HB and the different dev who give to charity. They sell the games to win then give your money, it's not exactly the same as giving to charity.
PS: I'm ok with the quality of this bundle for now.
Comment has been collapsed.
So let me put it this way , it's Just HB and the devs who give to charity here , not the ppl who spend an entire month streaming 5 6 8 hours a day trying to entertain us .
Okay.
Here is how I see that bundle ...it's that 1 thing I spend 25 30 every December for charity and that's it .
Fun I have a month of entertainment for that money .
The shitty bundle games , as some people called them , are games that ware negotiated by the yogscast to ge given away for free in mass , so it can satisfy the whiny ppl who need to make the bundle worth it for them .
Obviously props to the devs , but the whole idea is that it's the ayogscast jinglejam , targeted at their fanbase mostly z and not the whiners who demand .... I duno dishonored 4 and 5 copies of Skyrim in their bundle so it's worth the 30$

The "ppl who spend an entire month streaming 5 6 8 hours a day trying to entertain us" give their time to charity.
I talked about money not about time (still wonderful to give).
I will not argue here if you want to believe in the kindness of businesses.
Comment has been collapsed.
There is nothing to rly argue about here tbh .
Its just most ppl ( not you ) just look @ the thing as a 30$ bundle and forget the fact that its for Charity /
Now you are completely right that if you want to give for a charity , you can just give it directly . Thats how it usualy is done.
Thing is tho , its the Yogscast community event here , thats is raising the funds ... and they negotiated with i dont even wana think about how many devs to provide those games ( which ppl refer as shit rebundled games ) .
And its just such a shame , that many people fail to realize that the whole thing wouldnt exist w/o the yogs ...
And its just a Month of them playing stupid shit for insane periods of time on twitch , trying to rise funds for charity .
And thats what they do , there are MANY many people who just w8 for that single event , and had saved up money just for it ... so they can contribute to the cause .
And nothing can convince me , that people spent 800 000 $ on a 30$ bundle just cause they wanted to play Goat Simulator ... :)
Its for the yogscast , and they are doing something amazing here .... people not appriciating that fact are making me quite angry to be fair ...

I gave $30 for charity - I can afford it right now and I could use the karma. Any games are a great bonus. It's a lot of money for some people and I can understand others having different opinions, but I'm mostly with you on this one...
Comment has been collapsed.
You gotta consider that most people have no idea who Yogscast are and don't give a shit what they do... I know I most certainly didn't before I was looking for a walkthrough for the rewiring puzzle in Broken Age and stumbled over one of Kims videos. Haven't watched anything from them since so to me they are just a bunch of Gaming YouTubers like a gazillion others.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah and thats why in other comments i specifically mentioned that this bundle is targeted mostly @ the Yogscast fanbase , and not really the general public ...
Cause sadly the general public looks @ it and sees 30$ bundle full of arguably mediocre and shit games .
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes its regular Humble, yes its for charity but bcs its for charity it must be interesting to buy at this price? I dont mind where my money goes, if its for charity or devs or HB itself.
Buy uninteresting product only coz its for charity? No
For me its only site where can i get (sometimes) good games at good prices, i dont mind what happens with my money i just got what i wanted, its like if u care about what happens with your money when you buy milk in shop... do u care about it?
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean , its charity ... i usually expect nothing i return from it ...
Using the store analogy , you know when you buy a 10pack of flour or sugar or something similar , and drop it off @ the shoping cart @ the end of the store , that goes to an Orphanage or an old people home ... you dont just sit there expecting someone to tell you hey cheers thanks for the flour we made Cake and Cookies and w/e with it ... its just gone and you know it went for a good cause :)
Dont get me wrong i get your PoV Completely , its 30$ ... which is A lot , so most people expect something major in return for that ...
But its holiday season , that one time of the year where mby its okay to say ... i mean yeah its not really worth it but its christmas so fuck it :)

It's more similar to those people selling, like, candles on the road and telling you the profit goes to a certain charity. Funnily enough I've never heard anyone say about those
"Why would I EVER pay 5$ for a candle? You know I've seen this same kind of candle in a bag with five others for 2$! What a scam!"
or
"Well, you're not leaving until you sell all your candles anyway, so why should I be the one to buy it? It won't make a difference anyway"
or
"I wouldn't really be the one helping charity if I accepted the candle in return. You made it so really you'd be the one donating. People are buying your candles because they want them and think they're a good deal, if they actually cared about your charity they'd donate directly to it"

I believe so...based on the fact that $30 is more than 95% of the purported $650 value of the bundle.
This will not help our quest for Level 10 much, but it's a nice bundle. =)
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess it depends on how much of the $650 value is Steam games and how much is in-game currency and content for non-steam games, subscriptions for Twitch Turbo, money off vouchers, Uplay keys, etc...
Comment has been collapsed.
only meh games in the bundle and 30$...
i rather donate 30 dollar to unicef than to this random charities. and if people say its expensive. yes it is, if you dont have much money.
people dont seem to understand that OH ITS FOR CHARITY doesnt change the fact that people dont have much money. it wont magically get more when you donate it.

You realize that only 10 out of over 50 games have been revealed so far?
Comment has been collapsed.
Just curious, Do they said it will be 50 GAMES? Not 50 games+dlc+extra contents? Games like games games?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah that's what my comment was based upon. It's from the reddit thread that's linked in the OP
https://www.reddit.com/r/Yogscast/comments/5fx2zy/jingle_jam_2016_schedule_details_and_links/
However, looking at the chart it seems that they count the TF2 badges as game too, so it could indeed mean 50 games+dlc+extra contents.
I'm playing the waiting game for now. Bundle purchases seem to have slowed down a bit, so the 50K limit should be a couple of days away.

Guns of Icarus Online - Collector's Edition & Toy Odyssey added

Everything's also given in separate keys, if anyone cares about that.

Can't even have all my key for Icarus....... :
Keys are temporarily exhausted for this product

Not a surprising fact, but it seems that the huge present box on the advent calendar represents multiple games unlock as proven by Day 3 and 5. We can probably expect there are at least 26 + 10 games left to be revealed.

A lot of Guns of Icarus Online Collector's Edition Upgrade giveaways =.=

It's OK, because once you activate both keys from the bundle, it registers you as owning the upgrade.
You can verify it here:

and here:

So, none of the Guns of Icarus Online stuff can be given away? Was it free before or something?
Comment has been collapsed.
I picked it up free at least twice before now. If you want it this time let me know.
Edit - forget it, I saw you appear to have the bundle...
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, thanks for the offer though. I guess I'll just keep it for myself. I don't think I'll ever play it, but hey, it's another game towards 250. Haha.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was a while back, I'm pretty sure it was a promotion on Indie Gala, possibly also another on Bundle Stars. I'm sure people will leap in and correct me if I'm wrong. Free weekends and other Steam store promotions don't generally lead to games being removed from the giveaway list here as people can't hoard keys from them.
