The interesting thing here to me is that Mark of the Ninja was published by Microsoft, and now it's DRM-free. I think there have been other MS-published games that ended up in bundles, but I'm not sure. Anyway, this seems like a small step in a good direction.

etna87: Okay, same thing with Faster than Light. I'm posting some more details because I'm curious if it's the same for other people: On activation, Steam displays a message "promotion code has been activated. You can access the content once you have activated the full game on Steam". After some time, it appears in my library and after a Steam restart, it seems to work.
Yep, I got that message for each game I redeemed from the bundle. Simply restart Steam and the game(s) should show up in your Library.

AndyBuzz: BTW what's the deal with Phil Fish and the hate he deserves? Have no idea.

Wishbone: Several things, but the one thing sticking in most people's minds (I think) is that he acted like an ass on Twitter and got some backlash for it. The most memorable comment he made was a reply to people asking about a future PC version of Fez, and was something along the lines of "Fez is a console game, for consoles. PCs are for spreadsheets". Then he later turned around and decided to release a PC version after all.
Also winning IGF twice with a single game, what with being best buds with the judges. And whining about how you shouldn't punish his teammates for his assholery by boycotting Fez, then turning around and apparently canceling Fez 2 (in development) because someone said something baaaaaaad to him on twitter.

On an unrelated note - GOG, it's high time to ping Joel and get him to release Trine 2 here, if you haven't already.

tfishell: Shoot, I need to get this for the soundtracks at least! (My computer is so old that I doubt I could run any of these games, even.)
FTL should run for you. The minimum specs for it are a 2ghz single core CPU with 1 gig of ram.

Mark of the Ninja and FTL make this package worth it, I took it for FEZ personally.

I'd guess the rights to the game reverted back to the developers after a time. Like how Bastion was published by Warner Brothers Games and appeared in a humble bundle eventually.

4,41$ now... I'll wait till the price goes down a little bit.

I've rarely seen the prices go down drastically. In fact most times they only went up, especially now that you don't get the extra content with only a $1 purchase.

It seems that people still don't like Phil Fish:

I suggest you wait also.


(the last bundles had the BTA going slowly but steadily up the whole time...)

That makes sense if true. I guess it'd be nice to see MS loosen their iron death grip over their games, though. :)

But that's another matter. This is a great bundle.

However, at the risk of going OT again, it just reminds me how tough it must be for GOG to promote and sell indie games when most of them end up in bundles eventually, DRM-free and with Steam keys.

...and native Linux versions.

Fictionvision: I gave Fez $0 in my split up.
I'm waiting for the bonuses to decide, but if I buy this bundle, I will make sure to do exactly that...

Oh, huh! Thanks.

I loaded up FTL and got wiped out in less than a minute.

In Easy.

I'm not gonna like this game, am I?
