PaterAlf: Talking about alpha versions: Will Groupees replace the files with updated versions once they are out?
I think they usually do... but then again, I just use Desura if a key is available. Apparently Enamel will be coming to Desura in the future and they intend to give everyone keys.

amok: You purchase just the games you want. You do not purchase the bonus games, they are just that, bonuses, given on top of your purchase. Whether you play them or not is off course completely up to you, but they are not your purchased games.
If they instead had said purchase one game that you will never play for $4 and and we'll give you 5 bonus games that you do want for free, I'd still be purchasing the same package because I'd be paying the same amount and getting the same set of games. Similarly, when someone wants to sell five of something for $5 and they market it as buy four for $5 and get one free, it will likely sell better because people like to be told they are getting free things, but the reality is that the cost of the "free" one is already distributed among the base asking price of the package.

It's a little more complicated than that when it comes to Groupees, but the point remains that if you purchase an entire package, then you are purchasing every game in that package, regardless of which games in the package are claimed to be free. The owners of the bonus games that Groupees is distributing are still getting royalties and the reason they can afford to pay those is because they've already accounted for them in their asking price. Likewise, when the 9th game only sells $.34 instead of $.75 each for the first three, Groupees doesn't keep track of the order you selected the games in order to know which games to give reduced royalties to, rather it's distributed.

Well, since I started picking games at Groupees (about a year) they always put updated versions later, usually with Desura keys. So you can trust that it will happen.
6th bonus unlocked.
Apparently there's another bundle with GOG keys coming before the next Be Mine (which starts in May, I think?). They did say that a GOG RPG bundle was likely to happen at some point, I wonder if it'll be that..

Any more hints about this? ;)

I haven't seen anymore hints, but if it is indeed going to be a GOG RPG bundle, my prediction would be that it'll include a bunch of repeats (Two Worlds, Two Worlds 2, Enclave, Septerra Core, etc..)

If anyone's thinking of buying Two Worlds 2 from GOG, I would definitely hold off until next month to see if it shows up in a bundle.

Hmm, but I already have Enclave from Be mine 6, why they can't just give us GOG keys, why do we have to buy these games twice? :/

That's exactly how I feel.. I have Two Worlds 1 + 2 and Enclave from Groupees, but they get more money if they add them in a new bundle with GOG keys, without giving GOG keys to older purchases. Personally, I'd rather see NEW games with GOG keys in Groupees bundles.. not a bunch of repeats. And I don't want topware keys either lol.

Totally agree! But on the other hand, Enclave was just bonus. :D
BTW, an update on the Fester Mudd situtation (game just got added to Desura a few days ago). I asked Shifty if they contacted the dev for Desura keys, and he told me Groupees have emailed them, but haven't gotten a response yet.

But they promised us only Steam keys (after the game is greenlighted), right?

Yeah, but it looks like there's a possibility we'll get Desura keys too. The dev posted this on the Desura game page:

"Anyone with the Groupees bundle will need to go through Groupees. They hold all the data on who purchased the bundle for financial verification.

Thanks so much,
Replay Games"

Because GOG isnt a charity and not everyone is a cheapass gamer waiting for games to hit a bundle or cost 50cents.
