grviper: An understandable reason for the delay could be that the secret was planned to be "pictures of our staff getting drunk with your money". Obviously that takes time.
Or they didn't earn enough money to get properly drunk. Remember that they had a bonus to be unlocked at 50,000 sold bundles, but actually sold less than 7,000.

Other, more realistic scenarios include:

- The Steel Storm Soundtrack was the intended secret bonus, but they botched it up and included it in every bundle from the get-go, and they are now frantically looking for a replacement.

- The secret bonus was something they weren't sure they could actually get when the bundle started, that's why it was kept secret. Unfortunately the deal fell through, and they are still searching for a replacement.

- The developer who was supposed to deliver the secret bonus is missing, he doesn't answer any attempts to contact him, and GamersGate doesn't want bad publicity (for themselves and for the devs) and therefore doesn't "blame" him for the delay, they are waiting for the promised content to show up, just as we are.
I was interested in this bundle, but currently Gamersgate does not accept paypal (or my paypal) at all, so didn't get it.

They accept mine, so I guess there's something different about yours. o.0

Good to know. I kinda knew this since if they suddenly not accepting paypal at all, there should be at least some people talking about it here. I've posted a ticket and tried to see what happen. hope I'll get a reply soon.

I've been not able to buy anything since the Indie Fort bundle came up (or at least that's the first time I noticed this). So I missed both this bundle and the Red Faction deals, too bad for them, to bad for me.
I sure hope this is resolved soon, this whole situation is getting a bit tiresome.
Somebody from GG ask support about bonuses they said that it will available on weekend.
still nothing
Well, weekend is over, still haven't heard anything. Anybody else heard anything?
So the secret is Mordor 1.1, doesn't seem to install on Windows 7 though.
Same here lol. so all the wait and we can't even install it.

Apparently it doesnt work on 64bit.

[edit] Well after playing it in vmware it doesnt seem like a great game anyway.

Wow, so this bundle was so badly organised they never got around to finding something for the '?' unlock. They had so much trouble finding something that they just gave us half of the final unlock.

Do you think they just never expected the bundle to do well enough for the secret unlock?

Actually apparently GG botched it from the start. According to Dekclin Steel Storm OST was most likely supposed to be the secret bonus but GG accidentially unlocked it from the start. Another mistake GG made was not asking videos for the Developer Thank You video from devs in advance and so they had nothing ready when bundle ended. I've send message to Decklin asking if there've been any progress in that front as GG is playing blind/deaf/mute game.
Well, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who can't take advantage of the bonus. Tried to install it, and nope, didn't work with my system. Pretty sad.

BTW, did anybody else start getting those Super Saving slider coupons showing up on the top right side of their screen? It says you can apply them to games 9 dollars and under or on the current games on sale.

For the life of me, I have no idea what they do. I tried to purchase a game (just to see if there was any kind of discount, and the only thing I saw was a 5% off discount, but I'm thinking that might be because of my GG leve (I'm at level 3).

Strange day for GG. First I finally get that secret bonus game, and it's worthless, and then I get those odd coupons which don't seem to do anything.

That's my guess as well.

Can/did Decklin say anything about this mysterious "PR-Guru" Alexander Poysky, who was supposed to be the person to ask any questions about the bundle? The bundle was announced as a collaboration between GamersGate and Poysky, and I'm interested in finding out who botched it up. There have been at least 5 distinct (and imho pretty obvious) botch-ups in various areas, which probably reduced sales considerably.

I'm not unhappy with my purchase (all things considered, I would buy the bundle again), but I do care for Indie developers and for Gamersgate's reputation, and I think there's a lot of room for improvement.
Did those jokers really put a 16-bit Windows game as a high tier unlock?
