And groupees is the after-school club for meth addicts and shinyloot is the shell of the club that burned down months ago. :)

Really man, you can't actually be saying this is a bad bundle? You just happen to have the games... and really for $5 it might be worth the price for the DLC alone.
It does suck that you can't separate them, but you can't really blame them at the current BTA (was under $5 when I looked)

In fact, seeing this 2 days after the Summer steam sale was selling borderlands 2 for more than the BTA, it just tosses an explanation point on how craptastic I thought that (the summer sale) was.

And Gamestop is for... wait, do they still have a digital distribution platform? I had a bunch of Impulse games back in the day. Crap. I guess they're just a dead hooker in a trunk.

I do wonder how do you consider Itch.Io? an open yard sale next to the entrance to Desura?

It's not a bad bundle, but its certainly not a great bundle. In my opinion, to be a great bundle it needs to be all DRM free and all support Linux, like the Humble Indie Bundles usually do.

The single key per tier makes it even worse.

To be fair i do believe that indie developers (well, sucessful ones) are the ones that are "refusing" to put their games on bundles, rather, they appear (mostly in the weekly) as the higher tier...

Ah, forgot you were linux guy. But I was addressing more the quality of the games, the fact they had never been bundled, and the very reasonable price. I think it's a "Win" as far as what we usually see from most sites.
But of course, that's just my personal opinion... but I'd rather get a older big named title I might not, or even might have than a bunch of early access things that look like they came from the early 90s.

I can agree with this 100%. I'm about done with the whole "pixel art" fad.

Doesnt sound too bad - IF you use steam, and can find $8 worth of crap to buy there!

Because than you might get some free crap on top of it! ;)

Chances are those are games you either never had an interest in or that you already own, and I bet the Steam wall credit is less than $8, so you could have spent the same money directly on Steam, too. IF Bundle Stars has two or three worthwhile bundles running at the same time it might be a nice extra, but so far I've yet to see this happening.

It reminds me one of those key resellers websites that had this "amazing" promotion where you would 1$ (or something like that) and you would recieve a mistery game... yeah, i can imagine the crazy amounts of shovelware from bundles remains that they have in stock...

Aye - only one ive been after of recent (i think it was on Fumblestars anyway) was the one with Orcs and Men on it - though, I think the offer is good for the store too, and they do occasionally have some good (though still top tier expensive) deals on there.

I bought it. I already had orig Borderlands base game. For $5 I figure I'll get around to the content eventually (... I keep telling myself that as my large ominous backlog looms over my shoulder.) ;-)
