By popularity on Reddit, this Service is:
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
If anyone is thinking about System Shock: Enhanced Edition, you can get it and I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream and a few other games for $1.99 total through this bundle.
Air Control was greenlit by the community.
It was in a Groupees Bundle, which probably explains how it got so many votes.
Pre-ordering these bundles generally only appeals to collectors who want +1s to their Steam accounts and don't care what the games end up being; there's very rarely a large number of games in them you would want and you can pick and choose once it is released.
If you're new to bundles in general, a better place to start would be the Fanatical Bundlefest, especially the heroes bundles:
https://www.fanatical.com/en/franchises/heroes-bundles
All of them are the same price as this pre-order and almost every one of them has several good games in it.
Edit: to answer your original question, just decrement the URL and you'll see the previous bundles (ie https://groupees.com/bab39 and so forth).
The first Be Mine Anniversary: https://groupees.com/bma
Games included:
$1:
Eschalon Book II
iBomber Defense Pacific
Livalink
Party of Sin
$5:
Men of War: Assault Squad
Two Worlds 2
Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes
Planets Under Attack
The Cat Lady
Bonus:
Major Mayhem
Dungeons: The Dark Lord
AirBuccaneers
Men of War: Assault Squad DLC Pack
The Adventures of Shuggy
Galactic Arms Race
All games redeemed on Steam (though IIRC, The Cat Lady was added to Steam after the bundle, so there were no Steam keys at the time)
If this one's anything like the first, it should be a pretty good bundle.
Hello everyone, we're experiencing payment processing delays. What this means is it may take up to an hour for your payment to be processed. It is strongly recommended that once your payment processor tells you that you have completed the payment, that you do not submit another order unless you want to get multiple copies. Duplicate orders will be processed and you'd then have to go and seek a refund. So to save everyone some trouble, do not submit multiple orders unless you want multiple bundles. Estimated processing time is anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, but it's highly dependent on the payment processor.
If you have received an email receipt from your payment processor but can't find the bundle in your purchases page 10 minutes after receiving the email, or if you've made a duplicate purchase, please contact us, providing your wall address and the payment method and transaction ID.
Update (for those coming in from links): payments have been caught up, everything should be normal now.
$1.25 for the full bundle, which will be revealed when the countdown reaches zero. If you don't feel like taking the gamble, you can wait until the games are revealed, but they will be more expensive, usually double the price for the full bundle.
To give you an idea, these are some of their latest greenlight bundles:
https://groupees.com/bagb19 (still running)
Wow, they got Interstellar in there, too!
I'm kidding, but they do look alike. https://groupees.com/uploads/bundle_products/4823/cover/medium/Milkman.jpg http://assets.fontsinuse.com/static/use-media-items/21/20287/full-1012x1500/54bf088c/interstellar.jpeg?resolution=0
The first two Steampunk bundles were $1 and you didn't have to preorder to get everything. The first one came with Jamestown, Vessel, and Greed Corp. The second had both Syberia games. IMO this bundle is garbage and I definitely regret pre-ordering it. $1 isn't much, but it quickly adds up. All Humble Bundles have $1 tiers, and I've still passed up some decent ones because I figured I wouldn't play those games.
For reference - This was the previous fantasy bundle
This bundle will have 6 games (4 Steam, 1 itch.io title) - the banner game is Mystery of Unicorn Castle: The Beastmaster
It was in a greenlight bundle from Groupees ( https://groupees.com/by), however, the game in cuestion Hippocampal didn't get on Steam via the greenlight process, and so they argue that they are not obligated to give keys.
However the Groupees page says "vote for xxx and get a Steam key if xxx gets GREENLIT", in this case the game didn't actually get greenlit (it got to Steam by traditional means), that's their argument i imagine at least.
Kinda a dick move/technicism that will probably just bite them in the arse, but w/e.
A fact that most people don't know, is that game devs can issue as many steam keys as they want (free of charge for them), so it's not like they actually lose money, pleasing the peeps that bought the bundle, they are just getting angry consumers that bought their game/bad PR.
I bought it and tried on desura, meh at best (and this comes from someone that really enjoys flawed but fun games).
It is Hatred. sitek4h from chat noticed that this image matches the bundle background
That's Commando Jack shown there... not a good sign.
Probably not a wise idea to pre-order this one. Kiss is the king of rebundlers - they even had/have their own crappy bundle site. Sure, they have a few decent games like the Guilty Gears and Unrest but the chance of those showing up are close to zilch.
Anyway, since this is #4 - here's the other 3 if you are wondering what they are:
> Good thing I don't buy comics anymore.
Groupees is currently selling another Dynamite comics bundle. At least they don't shy away from using covers that would cause the outrage brigade to throw a hissy fit:
https://groupees.com/dynamite2
They had both GOG and Steam keys for the King's Bounty: Platinum Edition in Groupees 1C Bundle. That plus [KCandJelly84's example of the Humble Weekly: Strategy bundle](/r/GameDeals/comments/2efrw2/groupees_bloodrayne_2_added_to_the_be_mine_14/cjz5exd) makes me wonder where you heard this idea that GOG won't share with other platforms?
I think he is more refering to the fact that when these game were previously bundled before, they were priced cheaper.
I refer to the Groupes Horror Bundle which was priced 3 dollars for all the games. Groupees bundled (also done by KissMyBundles) contains all the games mentioned above, except for Realms of the Haunting, together with more games and more bonuses.
Realms of the Haunting was, if I recall correctly, in a $1 or $2 bundle together with other games.
Quick announcement copied from preorder thread because some people may still be affected:
It has been discovered that something may have partially broken Amazon payments. If you have made a payment and got a 404 error when returning to Groupees, and cannot find the bundle on your purchases page, please send a link to your wall, the name of the bundle you purchased, and the transaction ID to or via the contact form so things can get processed. Affected orders are between Thursday 3:30-5:30 p.m. PST.
Also, keys are being assigned, don't worry about that. Check back in 20-30 minutes.
Update: key assignments are done now.
> The arcade edition is the complete battle system, Operation Vigrior will be in campaign mode (about 2-3 hours in a story line driven setting)
> The plan is to release this game with both Arcade Edition and Operation Vigrior on Steam, we still have to work with Valve to finalize those details (might be "DLC" for the Operation Vigrior).
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/comments/378048982
and yes, with the groupees BAGB 20 we will only receive the arcade edition. but i don't know if this is legit...i remember the dev from cfd ghostship doing the same...releasing a lite version of his greenlit game and giving out keys for this version.
edit: even the thumbnail and the description @ https://groupees.com/bagb20 is for operation vigrior
Just some quick information, the last few Greenlight Bundles from Groupees had some games that were already greenlit in them, which is quite nice since we're guaranteed Steam keys for them.
The last one had 5 games in it that were already greenlit: https://groupees.com/bagb17 It's a pretty good deal, since it comes to only $0.15 per game
For reference...
Expect: Bad Rats (absent in 3 though), a coin 'worth' -$1, and quality.
Note: Porradaria 2 was previously in the Groupees Bundle in a Box 5 pack
Also Incitement 3 and Redemption: Eternal Quest are both currently in the Groupees Build a Greenlight Bundle 28
It depends on what you’re after.
- Fanatical is good for just bundles of Steam keys, although many times they just have the same few games. It’s definitely an option, though.
- Groupees focuses less on books and more on music and the like. They’re okay, but they deal with more obscure sources so it might be tough if you’re like me and only focus on recognizable stuff.
- Storybundle for books. They’re good for the most part, but for me the big hangups are the $5 minimum tier and the fact that 80% of bundles are composed of books which feel like you’d find them at an airport rack. But when they do have a good bundle, you don’t want to miss it. If I recall, you can even adjust the amount you donate after the bundle ends, so you can always get the low tier and wait until later to see if you want the rest. Haven’t tested it, though.
There have been other 11 Groupees' The 50 bundles before.
Change the URL to check the bundles, like
https://groupees.com/the5011
https://groupees.com/the5010
https://groupees.com/the509
etc
Pillars of Eternity and Divinity: Original Sin are the two big ones that came out recently.
Also look into using Bootcamp to dual boot Windows on your Mac so you can enjoy games like Dragon Age: Origins, Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, Drakensang and other similar games.
Drakensang is currently in a 50 cent bundle here if you wanted to grab it for any future plans. It looks like the only good game in the bundle, but 50 cents for Drakensang is a good deal.
That was the last one. It wasnt great. Then again BiaB never was that great even when it wasnt Groupees (sorry but it wasnt, it had nice ideas, the indie grant was pretty cool but overall they had rather naff bundles full of repeats and RPG-Maker trash like Unemployment Quest and some Slenderman knockoff)
I can confirm that Them - The Summoning is in...
After reserving the game, I saw this pic: https://groupees.com/uploads/bundles/391/cover/small/them_panel.jpg
One of the game's pic: http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/300510/ss_afe5abca66337421d31e56fe5146991aaee148f6.1920x1080.jpg?t=1400252727
Groupees actually have a bundle now with Shadow Tactics that I literally just purchased before writing this comment. You need to buy 3 games at a minimum for a minimum price of $6USD. https://groupees.com/daedalicbab
Groupees is also doing a bundle with many of the same games, but ... it's not a very good bundle, though it might work out to be a slightly better deal for somebody who wants everything that's in the bundle.
That said ... these prices aren't so great. GOG tends to have better deals on these games (when they're on sale) than Steam has here now.
I do recall something where Interplay was changing something about their deal with GOG and so their games would cost more there, but even so ... I still think GOG is cheaper than this when they have their sales.
Yes. The Groupees background looks exactly the same as this Steam screenshot from Life is Hard.
Wonderful!
I hope this will open up the possibility of many more team ups, which VO special guests/stars would like to take the opportunity working on/with STO to help a charity they support deeply, via a similar bundle, or promotion.
Even if it was to just get a holographic Boff of them! I'd be down, sign me up!
This act of goodwill from the community / STO team in my opinion, certainly opens up the doors in the future.
By the way people, the total sales, according to the Groupees page was $54, 109. :) not sure how much of that is disputed between all the different groups involved (edit, I found my previous comment from a while back and turns out it's 70% towards The Pop Culture Hero Coalition), but these are both certainly numbers to be proud of. :D
Has been bundled in the Groupees Build a Greenlight Bundle 32 so you might already have a copy of the game.
Greenlight page should anyone want to vote - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=450309598
It is highly probable that this game is included in the the current Groupees Be Mine 19. You can preorder it for $2.50 and this is the thank you message: http://prntscr.com/72jzwg (from groupees chat).
The $1 tier games actually look pretty good, but I have 3/4 from previous bundles.
You must not have been following bundles for very long, if you think this is the worst one. May I direct your attention here: https://groupees.com/playway
I unfortunately haven't played this myself but I've heard 100% Orange Juice is basically like a more random and less skill based version of Mario Party (if that's even possible). The 'cute' art style may be worth considering if that's a big turnoff to you but otherwise it's currently on sale in a Groupees Bundle where you can get a minimum of two games for $1.
I will also throw in my recommendation with /u/wulfschtagg for Crawl. I'm normally not too keen on early access though my friends convinced me to try this and it was pretty fun and functional with no gamebreaking bugs that can plague some early access games. In addition to what wulfschtagg said I'll mention the end goal of that game is to kill a big boss where the other three players basically control the boss' three abilities which can be pretty entertaining to screw over your friend.
Albert and Otto is currently in Groupees Be Mine bundle for $0.5 more (with a bunch more games).
Enhanced Steam shows that this is also in a Greenlight Bundle right now:
https://groupees.com/bagb30
You can get this + another game + 2 bonus games for $1
EDIT: Also SuperDuperBundle too
http://www.superduperbundle.com/?p=bundle&b=18
I think they rely on buyers that got it in Groupees Carlmageddon Bundle.
Well, I got it there so... now I'm just waiting for episode 3 to get in some Groupees bundle, then I'll play it all at once.
Life Is Strange
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Dreamfall Chapters
The Talos Principle
>I should probably look into adventure games then?
Some traditional point and click adventures that came out in recent years are The Whispered World, The Book of Unwritten Tales and The Dark Eye Chains of Satinav.
If you hurry, there are 16 hours left on this adventure game bundle which has a bunch of traditional point and click adventures that are slightly older (like early 2000s). Syberia I and II is probably the most well known among them.
just the end of Be Mines, since obviously there are other bundles live and kicking. (The rewards suggest a clockwork bundle and a second rendition of this bundle series: https://groupees.com/lsb1 )
Groupeesはゲーム以外にもバンドルやっててけっこう良いのもあるので紹介。
Remute presents Barry Leitch - https://groupees.com/remutepresents5
内容は音楽バンドル。FLAC,MP3の好きなほうでDL出来る。Barry Leitchはゲーム音楽を手がける作曲家。
バンドルの中身はスマホ向けゲームのHorizon ChaseとDark Quest 2 OST、64のゲームのTwisted Edge Snowboardingの未発表サントラ、トップレーサー(Top Gear)のカバーなどなど。2ティアで、1ティア 2.99ドル 2ティア6ドルと高め。
あとはRemuteの新譜+bandcampのキーも付いてる(確かキーは先着1000名のみ)。Remuteはテクノアーティストで、最近ではメガドライブ実機専用の音楽アルバムをカートリッジでリリースして話題になってた。日本の女性音楽グループのFakyのメンバーであるLil'Fangとコラボした曲も出してる(Lil'Fangはガンダムかなんかの曲でちょっと有名？)。
Remute feat. Lil' Fang - Play The Game - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkduZ3rDFew
テクノアーティストによる、ゲームカートリッジ形態の“メガドライブで聴くアルバム”登場。
Yes, after the subscription there has been Be Mine 30. Also, Be Mine 31 is currently on the Groupees homepage as an "upcoming" bundle, that might mean it will launch in a day or two.
Theres still the Playway bundle (though thats more hilariously bad) or some of the random rebundle rubbish that DIG spins around repeatedly like this or this.
For those interested in how it works:
Buying The Mini Bundle #2
$3 coin
| Please note that we do not give change.
$1 coin
| Your coins will be blocked now, and you will be forwarded to checkout for remainder $0.50
It's a little confusing at first, because on the store page I selected the option for the $3 (green) coin rather than the $1 (yellow) coin. And it still said "you will be forwarded to checkout for remainder $1.50" (cash). Oh that must be a bitcoin on the store page. On the second page the $1 coin is blue. Well, I figured it out regardless.
8 games included, 5 of which are Steam, 2 Greenlight. The other part is 5 albums.
Hints:
- The theme is related to a Steam game
- There is a game in here that is related to something in Community Bundle 5
- Casual adventure game
- 1997 FPS
- Island -> Boing -> Island
- MarsX
- Racing/RPG
- /Vampire.*/
Bonuses:
- Remute does this every time
- Adventure/interactive movie experience
File hint here.
This game is worth the play. Finished the game in 30 hours. Picking up puzzle pieces may be a pain in the ass during the later stages so it could be kind of annoying to play. If you're looking for a casual game to spend your time on, then this is the game for you.
Keep in mind though that the game is being sold in the Groupees' Spoiler Alert bundle for a minimum payment of $1 with 2 games to choose from. You get to have the game + 2 other games you want for a minimum of $1 or you can choose to buy it here for $0.99 or BTA and get 2 keys. I'd prefer the former over the latter since the bundle has some good games included in it.
Chaos ride is also available in the Groupees Be Mine 17 bundle for a minimum of 1$. At that level you get 3 more games and more later as they unlock or you can buy the 4$ or up tier for the extra 5 games.
Neat! One minor addition to it though, Groupees have two pages on which to check your purchases:
Both are just the same page, the second one was introduced with their profile redesign.
Any electronic music lovers NewRetroWave has partnered with groupees for anyone who donates a minimum of 3 dollars wI'll receive albums. All donations will be given to Unicef. https://groupees.com/nrw-ultimate
No. Did a little research, and Groupees is for the birds.
Pulled up a few of their recent bundles: 1, 2, 3
According to Wikipedia:
> Shovelware is a computer jargon for software bundles noted more for the quantity of what is included rather than for the quality or usefulness.
Groupees is strictly for those looking to boost their Steam stats, cards, and achievements. If you're looking for quality games, this ain't it.
The bundle is the Build A Greenlight Bundle 39.
I see these posts here fairly frequently, so if you are interested in more updates, there's a steam group called Keys Added for this purpose.
There are multiple topics you can sub to to stay up to date, the main one being the Main Keys Added Thread.
I will be happy if you're right, but very surprised if there are 4 more bundles.
There doesn't appear to be a consistent official response beyond what you've posted. There are these comments in chat at https://groupees.com/bm34
"I don't think the anniversary one counted, considering that's the one where you're paying for the subscription." - cyanic (staff) @ 13:06
"Be Mine 34 is number 7 yeah so after this 3 more to go" - Shifty Slug (staff) @ 14:51
Hypnorain wasnt bundled before, it was listed as a bonus for the last Groupees but wasn't unlocked.
Also definetly not the worst, the 18th and 19th ones were much worse. https://groupees.com/bagb18 and https://groupees.com/bagb19
Fairly often, Groupees offers high priced Comic/Game Bundles that you can use your 25 Groupees Dollars on. For example there are two Comic Bundles, The Bundle Of Independents and The Dynamite Fantasy Bundle. The Bundle Of Independents has a $25 High Tier, while the Dynamite Fantasy Bundle has a $55 High Tier.
You can use the Groupees Coins to pay for those.
If you have no interest in them or any future bundles of that type, use the trading system at Groupees. Trade the coins away for games.
If anyone's interested in getting the album along with Neon Nox's Vanishing Point EP and some other things for $3, it's currently in a Groupees bundle for a few more days.
Pilot Brothers is a must get for me if I get the bundle since I have/will have the other two games in that series from here: https://groupees.com/biab7
Forgotten Tales looks like a Solitaire game. If you own or seen gameplay of Tales of the Orient, I think it should play similar to that
I definitely agree that Goosebumps look nice. I also like the look of Queen's Quest: Tower of Darkness
Has been part of the original Groupees Build a Greenlight Bundle - https://groupees.com/bagb
You should be able to claim your Steam code via Desura (you should have a Desura code in your Groupees profile) - http://www.desura.com/games/i-shall-remain/keys
Kill the bad guy. It's a pretty nice game, check it out http://store.steampowered.com/app/293940/
Currently available in Groupees bundle at https://groupees.com/bma2 with some other games for only $4.
To get a clue, look at the old ones, for example: https://groupees.com/shinyloot8 You don't have to preorder. I personally preordered the last one and had lots of fun with it for 1$. Don't know about the "no additional discount" part either, since you get 8 games for 1$ and later on it'll be 2 games for 1$. Seems a big discount to me.
Also found that DFS also does bundles on Groupees and the one last week went for half the price and included the (LoR spoiler) >!Philip boss fight theme!<. So if you think the price is still too steep, you can follow DFS on social media and hope they would release another bundle in the future.
Can you elaborate further on some Groupee bundles that include a grab bag styled component, either as part of the original bundle or as a bonus or option. I figure its such an insignificant part of the bundle it, would be a shame to ban it on that tiny component itself.
Eg. Groupees 6er bundle had 5 games and 1 grab bag.
> No it's a set number of games and you get all of them.
For the pre-order that is true, but once the games are revealed it works the way tacitus59 said. That is why it is called "Build a Bundle".
There will be a two game minimum, which will actually cost less than the ore-order price. That means that if you think that you might only be interested in two or three games in the bundle (a very real possibility) then you are better off waiting for the reveal.
For proof of this, look at the previous bundles. BAB41 has the text "$1 minimum 8" and "Customize Your Bundle From These Items".
Groupees used to be the second best sometimes surpassing humble but now i would pay extra on release - dont preorder imo
https://groupees.com/bab40 https://groupees.com/bab39
was their last 2 build a bundles
If you want an idea of the previous bundle promotions:
In addition to This Week in Chiptunes, the site also released 12 Chiptune compilations, a Magfest compilation, bundles from Chipzel and Shirobon, and Cheapbeats
I can vouch for Battles of Norghan ;)
Then again... Im not exactly the most unbaised person on that thought
As far as the others go, the only other one im familiar with is simian.interface++ which I found fun enough for the very short playtime it gave me. Cant say its spectacular but its something thats breezy and fun enough to act as a in-between for bigger titles.
Top Far right: El Huervo (you can pick up his music and a bunch of other fantastic artists in the label on Groupees for 5 USD). He also does a bunch of artwork (he did the cover art for Hotline Miami 1&2).
2nd Top Far right is the Hotline Miami 2 Vinyl. Here are the artists.
Bottom far right is VHS Glitch.
Notice these two bundles from groupees
I put shuffle on the bundles I've bought, that is music from movies, epic music, celtic music, and so on. I highly recommend it.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is pretty much that: A supernatural thriller with a creepy atmosphere and an interesting story.
Also, Alan Wake is really good.
And, you can get a game called Betrayer for just $0.50 here. It's an atmospheric and stealthy FPS with a pretty interesting story.
Industry Giant 2 is part of a Groupees bundle deal right now. Pick two games for a dollar. I can't vouch for the other games but if you want to pick IG2 for cheap, here's your chance.
If you want to give digital comics a try, then HumbleBundle and Groupees are worth knowing about.
You can get massive bundles of digital comics for prices which are amazing value.
Hi Jubbergun, we have lots of bundles currently available at the site if you check out https://groupees.com , There's currently a huge comic book bundle, a few music bundles and several game bundles. Thanks!
Absolutely. It's amazing value.
If you're new to comics then bundles are a great way to try a variety of comics at a bargain price to find titles you're interested in. Groupees also currently have a bundle for sale which is worth checking out:
Groupees (another bundle site) currently has a "Women of Dynamite" bundle going on, and I think they had a Valiant bundle a few weeks ago.
Humble Bundle has had comic book bundles in the past, ~~but it seems like they don't happen too often~~. Groupees on the other hand has them slightly more frequently (I think).
When did you take that screenshot? It seems to be removed now: https://groupees.com/babmb
Edit: Checked archive.org, the promise is still there. It seems to be a joint scam by DotEmu and Groupees, because someone must have knowingly removed that text.
The guy shooting from his wrist in the background image appears to be from Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri. The flower appears to be from Belladonna.
I've sent him an email about my game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/380550/
Essentially if it wasn't for being included in this bundle: https://groupees.com/communitywgn it would never have got enough votes to get greenlit.
It's one thing to get your game onto Greenlight. It's another thing to get people to go and look at your page and vote on your game. Just putting it on Greenlight is not enough.
Please be aware that Gunship! was also bundled in the Groupees: Build a Retroism Bundle as the bonus title, so you may already have it without knowing. It is not listed on the IsThereAnyDeal site, so it doesn't show in dEnissay's marvellous table.
When I get time I will have to figure out how to send corrections to IsThereAnyDeal.
I'm glad this ended with Mortal Kombat. Vanguard Princess was a bundle game and even given away free.
That sounds like a fun troll. I hope you enjoy MKX. Everyone keeps telling me how brilliant it is.
It's my favourite mostly-overlooked VN. I'd say it's worth playing, maybe not every route (since the gameplay starts to drag after a while and the routes are very similar for most of the game), but at least 2 playthroughs worth (second one unlocks some extra scenes and routes which are quite good). I was actually advocating people get it in this bundle that popped up recently, so rather than repeat myself I'll just link what I said then.
I feel like VNDB's listing of >50 hours is only true if you're actually read all the routes (there's 7 of them). That's not to say it's super short, but it's not as long as you might first think.
Oh, also note that the JAST-translated version is all ages, so the H-scenes from the original were replaced with a fade-to-black instead. Just in case that's a deal-breaker (or maker?) for you.
> The other hint 'seems' to match with Shadowgate because of the creature seen here
It's a long shot, but I can't think of anything else that would match that wyvern-ish picture. Shadowgate is probably due for a bundle soon. It's been deeply discounted many times, and was 75% off a few months after release.
Groupees has dealt with the developers before. The classic series was in the high tier of a bundle awhile back. The soundtrack is in a bundle ending soon:
Soundtrack is pretty good btw.
Not totally clear from developer if you had to buy it or the gift version also gets a key. Related thread:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/342520/discussions/0/618459109270163979/
"We should get a key. It was promised to all buyers of the bundle (click on the game icon on the bundle page to see it). https://groupees.com/giveback"
From developer "Yes, already in process. Both Bundles will receive a Steam Key"
With 200.000+ bundles it might take a while to add keys so let's wait and see.
I know it might be slightly offtopic here, but Groupees ALSO launched a bundle I put together yesterday that I've been working really hard on for 6 months. If there are any music fans out there take a look at The Long Island Music Bundle. I really think there's some amazing things on there.
Steam Store: http://store.steampowered.com/app/333650/
Bundle Page: https://groupees.com/fantasy
Subscribe to the Steam Keys Added Steam group for notifications
Biology Battle was also in an older Build a Meridian bundle as a bonus, so if you're searching your profile by game instead of bundle, that may be what you're seeing.
For some reason they didn't add a Steam key for that bundle, but you can email with proof of purchase and they'll send you one.
You can get all the games for $1.25 if you pre order. Otherwise you'll have a chance to pick which games you want when the bundle lanches, but you'll only be able to get maybe 2-3 games for the pre-order price.
Their first bundle? Ignoring the music promotions that they did as Yawma I'm guessing that would be the first Be Mine bundle then from 2012? https://groupees.com/bemine
Because the only person getting a t-shirt from that would have been the guy that ponied up over $200 to be top contributor. I suppose you might be that guy. :)
Or are you maybe confusing them with IndieFaceKick who took money from people for t-shirts and later custom usb thumb drives and never delivered before folding?
Can't find it now, but I remember reading an article a while back from an indie dev, stating that they don't support Desura simply because it's not worth the trouble. The sales on Desura were just too low to justify the effort needed to keep the Desura version up-to-date.
It doesn't take a whole lot of searching then to realize that offering outdated versions on Desura isn't all that uncommon (this being probably the most egregious example I could find). Seems if you're not going to support Desura anymore, then removing it from the store is the right thing to do.
Also a bit of a stretch to suggest they somehow used Desura to get on Steam, or that you need to be on any existing platform to get bundled. Plenty of Greenlight games are getting bundled as DRM-free downloads these days, ClusterPuck 99 being one of them.
>Look through telltale's catagory of stuff. Most of their games are excellent.
It should be noted though that most of the newer ones are very violent/gory (compared to what your average non-gamer is used to), while a lot of the earlier ones (like the Back to the Future and Sam and Max ones) are very cartoonish.
There are some traditional adventure games included in bundles for example:

I could care less what TopWare has to say, but I'd like to hear Groupees' side on this.
They seem to be the one and only bundle that featured this game, as far as I know.
Jack Orlando: A Cinematic Adventure - Director's Cut is currently in the Groupees Nostalgia bundle for $1, which also gives you other games and music (and 25% goes to the United Nations World Food Programme).
Septerra Core: Legacy of the Creator is also in the same bundle, for $2 (you also get EvilQuest and some more music).
Enclave and Knights & Merchants can be gotten for free on DLH, along with five other games (you need an account to access the link).
The above are all Steam keys.
I love GOG, just pointing this out.
... and here we go again!
That said, I was pretty happy with how my last "buy it sight unseen (but possibly for less)" groupees purchase went (with Greenlight 10) but I'm not really a fan of this business model in general.
I played the game once, and it turned out fine ... but since I don't really approve of the game, I guess I shouldn't play it again.
Ok, I checked the complete chat log of the Be Mine 13 bundle. Happily this is possible for groupees, you just have to go to https://groupees.com/bm13 and scroll the chat all way to the top. I then searched for dollar days and similar stuff and the only thing they ever said is the following: > AntonioItaly 20:17 > > and dollar day > > Jonny Cappuccino Groupees HQ 20:17 > > not sure if we'll do a dollar day on this bundle
They never definitly said they won't do Dollar Days, they were just not sure. This was interpreted incorrectly in the steamgifts forum and found its way back to the groupees chat. People then claimed the groupees guys said that there will be no dollar days for the be mine 13 - but that was just not true. The fishy move Groupees did was to actually EXTEND the bundle after official time.
This time however, they said it explicitly in the chat and even made an annoucement on the bundle page. So it is pretty sure there will be really NO dollar days for the Be Mine 14 bundle.
I think that's the best part.
I was interested in KoF (my god the super moves are hard to pull off) and while I am not that interested in the other games, they seem to be good enough to be worth a try, and I may find some new favourites among them.
Also a bit of an offtopic: The current Groupees Bundle is also quite nice, so you may want to check that out as well :)
Keep an eye on Groupees. Mostly they do forgettable indie music bundles, but sometimes they do good comic bundles. Comics are usually drm-free downloadable cbz or pdf. They normally give you an option to donate a set percentage to a specific charity or just give Groupees 100%.
Groupees also actually encourages key-trading. They even have set up so you can trade digital comics.
I recommend you to check out this groupees bundle, you get 15 books for $5 USD.
I've read so far only "The Broker of Nightmares", which was a good novella of about one hour; and I'm right now reading "The Seclusion", which is similar to "1984" of H. G. Wells. So far this dystopia is going great, I'm at 50%.
Are you talking about the preorder price? $1.5 is the minimum, and already gives you the complete bundle when it goes live. Paying more than that now is simply if you wish to reward Groupees and the developers.
As for when the bundle goes live, you will be able to select a subset of the games, the more you select the bigger the price. The details are is not known yet, they will be revealed when the bundle goes live. See the currently running itch.io bundle for comparison, this may be roughly similar, but the minimum number of games might be different, or the price for additional games, or the discounts.
I can actually imagine them pulling it off, pity though that she doesn’t seem to look like Leeta at all, except for the promo art, which looks awesome!

Arps are my jam. Love, love, love them. When I was a kid I was classically trained on piano + I was around a ton of music by people like Vivaldi. If you listen to something like the Four Seasons, that's essentially what makes it great. It's an insane arpeggiation moving over notes constantly. I didn't really make that connection until years later, but that's mostly how it became a thing.
So, right now, with this groupees bundle, you can do exactly that. The 2nd tier has a giant comp of my remixes + remixes of my stuff. https://groupees.com/mavs
Man, I absolutely hope so. If someone wants to fly me over to Europe to play shows, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Yes. There are currently two on my plate for 2017. I'm sadly not allowed to say anything more than that ;)
Holy fuck. This band is GLORIOUS. Best synthwave artists I've heard since Dance With The Dead... Thanks a lot for the recommendation! Wilderness is amazing... BTW! Right now they have a bundle with a huge bunch stuff for super low price, also some of the profits are going to charity.
Just doing a quick copy and paste from the last time I posted one of these here :)
> For those who don't know what Groupees is, its essentially a site that focuses mostly on game and music bundles (like Humble Bundle but more obscure). This is their first time doing a Vocaloid bunde.
>How the site works is they do blind-preorders before launching the bundle fully, letting you buy for a price that's cheaper than if you were buying it on release. Once the preorder period is up, it will unlock on your Groupees account.
If it helps, this was the previous Vocaloid Bundle that Groupees did (which also did a $1 preorder, then later launched at $2 and added 3 items as the bundle went on)
