GOG sells DRM free games at the time at the price they are able to. There is no way they could know if and when a game gets HiBified (yes my word hahaha)

These types of bundles are bad for how people perceive the value of all games, not just Indie games. These sales are great for the buyer... 7 Telltale games for just around (currently) $4? But it's really bad for the industry as a whole, since buyers start to get used to paying next to nothing for games. In the short term, Telltale will probably make a good amount of money from this bundle. But long term? People will be waiting for their next sale, or buying games by someone else in a current one. Meanwhile, even 50% or 75% off sales don't look all that attractive, anymore. And people end up having more games than they can ever find time to play, anyway. So the cycle continues, where game companies feel like they have to be in a cheap bundle in order to sell their games.

If Telltale had priced this bundle at $20, that's still just $2.86 per game, which is still a great deal, since some of the games in this bundle are normally over $20 each when not on sale. Selling them for $4 (or even $1, if you don't want The Walking Dead), is simply not the best long-term strategy, in my opinion. Might as well give them away.

It's not a GOG issue. I bought these games from Telltale, from Steam, from Indie Royale. This is the cheapest I've seen them, and for someone like me who buys more than he plays I agree that waiting for a bundle has become the preferred method of game purchase.

Seriously, can we get one fucking Weekly Bundle without a Steam game? Might pick it up for the indie titles, since I always wanted to play those, but very disappointment in not being able to play the last two games. I really loved The First and Second Encounters.
If I didn't already have all of these from other sales/bundles, I would be all over it. The only way I'd buy it now is if it comes with all of the soundtracks... except the indie ones, I'm fine without those soundtracks.

Son of a b.... and I just bought 1st and 2nd encounter on Steam.. ;p
Disappointing! Again the most interesting games are steam-only (even if DRM free versions for some of them exist).

haha I have stopped buying games from any other sale.. this is my store of choice from now on for all steam purchases ;p Anyways are these games any good
Ug... I'd pay at least $30.00 just for the 3 SS HD games. Again, I'm curious... why can HiBS let them go for a penny when GOG could sell them for 9.99 each? :/

Publisher/distributor exclusivity is getting silly if that is behind this.
That is a nice deal. Too bad I got almost all of it from before.
I didn't have high hopes of the HD games or SS3 ever going DRM Free, but showing up at Humble Store Steam only kinda reinforces that. The only one I don't have is the public test, so skipping.
