011284mm: These days we all know game prices drop into sales quite quickly, but there has to be at least a few months else it is all a little pointless. Why bother paying full price, even if you love the game.
True enow. I try to support game creators and there have been a number of releases I've bought right out of the gate on GOG (Humans Must Answer, InFlux, Papers Please). But I also realise that this is luxury that not all budgets allow, and that many folks will wait for a sale. Most new releases on GOG have stayed at full price for a significant time since debuting, so I think they are "aging" properly and I won't feel cheated if any of the ones I bought go on sale later. Hopefully Ittle Dew is a deviant case rather than a foretaste of things to come, because I fear if that kind of rapid markdown becomes the norm, it will do a lot of damage to the regular gaming market.

The worst part for GOG if Ittle Dew is DRM free in the Groupee will be what do they do to compensate their customers who bought it full price, like they did with Botanical. There are only so many people left here without a copy of The Witcher, and it leaves GOG out of pocket, not the developers or Groupees.
If it is a Steam only we can all convince ourselves that GOG still holds the DRM free copy, and for now we have to pay a "premium" (who are we really kidding) not to have our games switched off by the likes of developers and Microsoft and their retarded DRM's when they are bored of our enjoyment.

EDIT:: Although I will still say I would like it DRM free, as I will still eventually pick it up here just for all the extras. +1 for GOG there.

EDIT2:: Another horrid thought would be to see it in the Groupee, Indie Royale, HIB weakly and Indie Game Stand together... I do believe that there was a game that was on two or three of these at the same time.

Agree with most of the comments here regarding bundles and games going on sale.
While there was a time when I used to pay full price for a game I was really looking forward to playing, I can't remember the last one I did that for. With digital downloading making games so easily available and the fact most of us have a backlog of at least a few games, its really not worth it to make a day 1 purchase anymore without having some kind of buyer's remorse the first time that game goes on sale, especially if its within a few months, let alone one month.
Have had a few of the games in this bundle on my mental wishlist so yah, its a no brainer to pay a few bucks to charity.

Bit different to Botanicula as that was a pre order. Ittle Dew as released on GOG on july 24th. Four weeks ago. And although its a surprise its in a bundle so early, blame the dev.Not GOG. In this case i dont see how gog should do anything in this case.
Just bought it. Eador (both versions!) comes in one steam key, so no such thing as me giving the extra MOTBW key tosomeone else as planned (I wanted Genesis on steam as well as here on GOG but eh whatever) AND DRM-free download. Again, both in one single package. Amazing value in the bundle.

According to the Groupees guys, the devs for the GOG available games did ask GOG for keys but got turned down
