Yes, this is annoying.
I e-mailed about a week ago to ask when the older items I had bought (anything before the downtime) would be available and they said they were working on it.
The thing to remember is GOG, Groupees, GG and Steam could all crash out tomorrow, so as soon as you buy something you really should try and back it up. I know that this is not possible for everyone all of the time, but it should be up there. I am only missing a few items, mostly music, so I could live with it, but I would like to be able to finish downloading the extra music from one of the older bundles.

*DING* We have a winner. I realise this isn't practical for everyone, but most folks who have a computer and are online at home should be able to afford an external hard drive. I've got a couple that clock in at over a terabyte each and didn't pay more than $80 for either. Redundant backups are easy, and wonderful for piece of mind. End of sale pitch. :)

When Steam goes down, a lot of people will find out why it was a bad idea to put up with DRM.

If any of these died, I'd be out of a lot of games I'm not playing. Which will be sad but will not really affect me to a large extent. Which is why I don't care about backing up. The work going to back this content is better spent on other things.

Yes, I have now more games than I can possibly play in my life time, and I constantly get more. If one service folds, it is only reducing my backlog...

I tend to play what I have, and use my time for this.

I do not think it is bad as such - I get to try a lot of games, cheaply :)

I always try a game when I buy, and I either put it in the backlog or I play it. This way I get to try many games, and I sometimes find myself playing and enjoying a game I would not imagine I actually would like. I like this, but yes, the backlog grows. But then again, I consider this natural selection in gaming and leisure time.

Pemptus: Bah. Again a thing with "casual" in the title and again no time management games. Give me my restaurant/bar/hotel/spa/supermarket/bakery management fix already, jeez.
Also, who do I have to disembowel for a new Cake Mania, hmm?
Hopefully theres one in the bonuses. I do like a bit of time management. it irks me that Playfirst pulled out of the PC games market and pulled ALL the games off most sites >:(

Pretty weak bundle in my opinion. Most of it looks like plain time wasters.

Pretty much the definition of casual games. :)

Yeah you're right. I guess they are taking a break, to get their service back running. The site is still a mess after their recent data loss.

Bundle is live, first bonus is Smash Cat soundtrack at 1,000 bundles sold.

Desura keys will come later for Pickle Frenzy.

EDIT: Apparently the bonus game that comes with Pickle Frenzy is called "My Happy Ending".

"a platform game where you need to rush to the top before water kills you"

EDIT 2: Crazy Belts will also have a Desura key once it's available on Desura (1-2 weeks probably).

Smash Cat OST is unlocked.

Next bonus is a game called "Farm For Your Life". It will be unlocked when 4000 bundles sold.

Well, I've always been curious to try a hidden object game without actually paying for a hidden object game, so I guess this is a good opportunity for me.

(I always feel like a jerk when I pay the minimum for bundles like this, but dammit, if I were willing to spend a lot of money to buy "Samantha Swift and the Hidden Roses of Athena," I'd buy the thing normally).
