Impaler26: More weird indie music... Oh dear! :D

PaterAlf: I rather take more weird indie music than more Steam-only bonus game... ;-)

But seriously, the music bonuses on Groupees are very good most of the time. Found some really interesting bands and artists just because of their bundles.
Well, tastes are different and i don't mind Steam only games if they're cheap enough. :)

I listened to a few albums from some Groupees bundles and most of them were horrible. O.o
I prefer Steam bonus games. I rarely listen to the music I get in bundles anyway.

I'm with on this. Steam-only bonuses are like no bonuses at all.

I agree with Spoderman. I don't think I've ever even downloaded an album that I got in a bundle.
They had comics a couple times. Those were good. I especially liked the ones from Zenescope.
Good music I have had from Groupees, to name a few : Roniit, TORA, Helalyn Flowers, Falling up, Jolly..
I prefer bonus music over bonus steam games.however the music is allover the place.too much metal and instrumentals fwiw.
Ehh... all I want from this is Redshirt.

That's the one game i did not want from this bundle. :D

Then go buy it. Seriously. If you want to pay more then pay more but $1 for Redshirt. Complaining why?

Well, there are valid arguments against buying bundles for just one game (exception: Humble Bundle, for reasons I'll explain momentarily), namely that what you're paying is being spread evenly across all the developers. And in many cases, you are indirecly supporting games that really should not be supported.

For example, Be Mine 4 had Laxius Force, which I was interested in, but it also had Revelations 2012, whose appalling reputation should really precede it. The presence of that game alone compelled me to avoid the bundle like the plague, as I could not find any moral justification to contribute to that developer's success. Likewise, some people make take issue with buying bundles for which they already have the majority of the games, because those developers are essentially receiving more money undeservedly - not necessarily a bad thing, you may say, but this money is coming at the expense of the dev of the game you don't own.

Humble Bundle is an exception in that it is possible to change what developer receives how much. Therefore, if you already have a game or have moral reasons for not supporting a particular developer, you have that option.

Its also worth noting you can do the same with Indie Gala and change who gets what too. Groupees doesn't have that option but it does however have a 20% to charity option.

Yep, the HB option to manually adjust how a purchase is split between developers is a great tool to send devs/ pubs a message both about their game and their publishing practices.
I wish Groupess would provide that option, but I guess they don't because they're often the ones restricting the version included in a bundle in the first place (extended demos instead of full versions, only Steam keys instead of more options, etc.) - there're plenty of examples to support this; offering an option like HB does could back fire and hurt their relationships with devs/ pubs.

This is why I pretty much always pay the minimum for any bundle that is not a humble bundle. I can't justify throwing more money at the bundle, when the money is going to be split between 8 games/albums when I really only want 1 or 2. Humble Bundle typically gets above the average and above the minimum.
