Disappointing Indie Bundles

Well if you are comparing them to the earlier Humble Bundles then yes. But anyway you look at it you get a good deal

Except for the site crashing, bemine has been pretty good

Well the new Humble Bundle sucks. Bemine 2 is pretty good. I hope that the next Humble Bundles will be better.

Here's what I think, they added the 5 bucks minimum to try and destroy the black market there is around HiB's. people could buy them for 1 buck,wait a while and resell them for 3-5 bucks on ST, sometimes more. with this policy it becomes unprofitable for the "black marketeers" (hope i said that right) to buy massive amounts of bundles for a dollar.

That being said I still disagree with the 5 bucks minimal for keys, the secret to undermine a forign competitor is not to jack up the price of their product by jacking the price of your own, it is to provide the customer with a better product than your competitor has.

My suggestion is they go back to the 1 dollar minimum, maybe even 2 if they want to, and allow for a second beat the average bonus : a game from the previous bundle. Also, put all the games, even the BTA ones on one key so you cannot trade the separately, with that they would literraly steal the consumers from the black market, by allowing them to get the games they missed on steam in another bundle, together with the new bundle itself, people like myself who missed HiB 1, voxatron, Frozenbyte or whatever would no longer need to trade for our bundles, we could simply wait for the next HiB and get the ones we want the most then.

But of course that is just my opinion :)

They're still good deals, just not as good as they were before.

the be mine bundles have some of the BEST INDIE GAMES AROUND. and it sells really poorly. Dont get me wrong i love the humble bundles...when they were numbered. The android, mojang, etc were pretty bad...

Don't like em, don't buy em. Kind of sick of hearing people complain that quality is going down, like HumbleBundle or IndieRoyale are gonna turn round and say "oh wow, sorry, didn't think you'd notice, here's the good games we've been hiding". The word "entitled" is getting thrown around too much to mean much today, especially with gamers, but here's a case I think it applies.

So the developer released a brand new game in a bundle. A game that you could buy for one cent which will also include two other games as a bonus. Plus soundtracks. For one cent. How that greedy bastard dares to do that? I want my Bethesda bundle with Skyrim and I want it now. Might pay even a full dollar for it. Maybe.

It is a debut bundle, people. I cannot understand why people try to compare it to other bundles. Yes, it shares the name but the content and the target is different. You can buy a brand new game with 99.9 % discount (with one cent payment) that will include bonus material and yet people are not happy and call organizers greedy. Sheesh.

Game price tag is 9,99$. Humble price for Steam key is 5$. That's a 50% discount + 2 extra games.

[To avoid confudion, not targeting OP with this rant]

I haven't been around very long (joined after HIB 4), but if I believe this forum, every single bundle that came out after I joined was seriously disappointing, the worst bundle ever, an affront to the fans, stupidly priced, and a total ripoff. At the same time, they were the best bundle ever, a real good deal and finally something good.
With over a 100000 members, it's no surprise that there are different opinions about these bundles, but I find it amazing how much vitriol, spite and hatred some people have for those bundles. If it's not appealing to you, is that really a good reason to make such a fuss about it ? If you have some/most/all of the games already, does that make the bundle itself bad ? If you don't like the pricing structure, does that really make the people who make the bundle idiots for not consulting you first ? The sense of entitlement some people exhibit is astounding.

I haven't liked the last 3 bundles for the indie bundles because the last 2 were repeats but on android and this one has yet another repeat plus two unheard of games that just don't interest me enough to pay the now mandatory $5 for steam keys.

I dunno. Maybe both you AND the Indie bundles are starting to fizzle out?
