New Bundlestars bundle has Of Orcs & Men, Planetary Annihilation, Stalker: Call of Pripyat, Survivalist and other titles for $4.99. Not a bad deal from a bundle perspective (and a cheaper way to get Of Orcs & Men I guess if you wanted just that).

Sounds like what happened with Indie Gala and Wasteland 2. The main publisher didn't agree to the price discount, and contacted Indie Gala, got them to stop, but nothing illegal was actually done, Indie Gala just got the keys from another authorized seller. Indie Gala stopped the discount, but the keys were legitimate, and anyone that purchased them previously kept them.

Unlike issues with G2A and the others where they actually sell keys that were fraudulently purchased for games like Assassin's Creed, and Ubisoft revokes them.

As long as no fraud existed, I'd imagine the keys will remain.

Attack of the Groupies is the worst game I've played ever.

They have it marked as "low stock" but Bundlestars has a nice set out for $4.99 (all Steam keys)

Planetary Annihilation
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat
Of Orcs And Men
It came from space, and ate our brains
Super Motherlode
Merchants of Kaiden
The Original Strife: Veteran Edition
Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey
Survivalist
Spark Rising

Of Orcs & Men is a very linear but somewhat entertaining RPG with Dragon Age-esque combat where you play an orc and a goblin trying to kill the human emperor and stop his war against your tribes, Stalker: Call of Pripyat is a classic FPS, the sequel to Shadow of Chernobyl and Letter Quest has proved a good deal of fun for me -- you play a cartoon grim reaper fighting his way across the landscape (to get pizza). When you fight a monster, you spell words from an random assortment of Scrabble-style letter tiles, doing damage based on the words you create. As you progress, they put limitations on you such as each word needs to contain a top row letter or the monster only takes damage from words with two vowels. Anyway, fun game and easy to play in small doses since each "dungeon" only has one or two monsters in it.

I'm not very familiar with the other games but those three alone more than make it a deal for five bucks.

Yeah, but that was like... twelve days ago.

Humble Nindie bundle is a very nice deal for folks on the correct side of the atlantic who own either a 3ds or wii u. Best deal is for both, of course, but very happy to pick up a bunch of indies for the systems for 10 bucks. I could never bring myself to buy most indie games on my DS/wii because of the price point, so I don't have anything in this bundle (other than guacamelee which I have on PC but have never installed)

My opinion: Ollie Ollie is worth the price alone. I gave my thumbs blisters playing it last night.

Apparently it also has a cross buy promo (that I didn't know about) so if you install it on a wii you get the 3DS version free - or vice versa so you can give away the other key. I never did this myself - but I read about it online.

Humble generally gives you a key for all platforms its on. OlliOlli shows both Wii U and DS3 so, yeah, it should give you both.

Yeah... Tirith is right - I read that if you buy the wii u version of olli olli it will show up as costing $0 in the 3ds store. But I found that out after I used both keys so no idea if that's the case or not. (Edit: I checked my payment history and my purchase - via the key I used - is listed at $0 - so yeah no need to use both keys to get on both systems. Wish I'd known! Would have added to my wii u, unlocked it on my tethered 3DS... and then used the 3DS code on my baby 3DS

I bought don't starve for wii u. If someone wants to trade me for my extra key - let me know... I like RPGs and strategy games and suchlike.

Gamersgate is doing thier Summer sale. So far it's pretty lackluster. A lot of the usual sale fodder, but at higher prices than has been available previously.

Bards Tale 4 Kickstarter is up. For the first 24 hours, a $20 pledge gets you a copy of BT4 (not until 2017) and a copy of Wasteland 2 when the Kickstarter ends. Or you can get a copy of Witcher or Witcher 2 instead, just in case you were dropped on your head and wanted to trade in your $40 game for a $5 one.

Edit: Worth noting that MSRP on Wasteland 2 is $40 and it'll almost certainly be on sale in a few weeks on Steam so expect it to be 50-66% off anyway. But if you were interested in the BT4 kickstarter, this would be the day to do it.
