Open

Hi!

https://www.dailyindiegame.com/site_weeklybundle_1486.html
Can somebody explain to me how Indigala can sell keys to an unplayable unreleased game? I know it is unplayable because I am one of the unlucky ones who owns it...

Probably people who buy these actually doesn't try to play them. Another gem:

Developer haven't uploaded some file, so it is impossible to open it. Nobody care since 2019.

Not sure what you want to say with that. Because there's no "beta" in the sub name, these aren't beta keys?
Your question was how Indiegala (though you meant DailyIndieGame) is able to sell these. Because they got a batch of keys from the dev. Keys can be generated prior release, for beta purposes e.g.

If he plan it to let them become a full copy game, they won't even have beta in name most likely

Isn't it like that when you buy a preorder from an external store?
I mean, If I buy (for example) this game from Fanatical:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/shin-megami-tensei-v-vengeance-digital-deluxe-edition
don't they provide a Steam Key when you buy it? (and it won't be playable until June)

It's a bit shady that the game is in a bundle already, but I don't think it's that strange.

Depends on game maybe. I preordered on Gamegate Gotham knights and had to wait almost month till release till they got keys.

Apparently the game was part of the "Global Game Jam 2021" ... so it has been 2 and a half years ... then almost 2 years since the dev blamed CoVid.

The game isn't exactly AAA material so preordering this is a stretch.

Then it's a new way of collecting games on Steam. Not even to bother to release the game and you can get a few bucks from people with low quality expectations and spare money.
