I don't think Cotn: Enhanced edition is supposed to include Hinterlands, it's a completely seperate game, part of the tilted mill collection.

It's funny that a lot of those moocher sympathizers are the first to deride pirate sympathizers. At least the conventional pirates' version of copyright infringement doesn't put a strain on the distributors' resources.

Hot-dog places do not have a policy against that. Indieroyale does.
It's that simple.
I'm quoting their FAQ again: "Indie Royale bundles are strictly for personal use only. Sharing Steam keys because you already own a game in the bundle is not allowed. The same applies for Desura keys. If your friend wants a bundle you should gift them or they can purchase it themselves.

The idea behind Indie Royale bundles is to support indie games, we always offer excellent games at a price you cannot beat - so please recognize this and support the developers participating by buying your own bundle."

And there you have it. There really is no discussion possible. Sharing keys, no matter how or for what reason, is not allowed. I'm not even considering moral implications or anything, just that simple fact.

Pretty sure for The Dream Machine it is only the 3 released chapters in the bundle, the missing part 4 and 5 are still to be made and not part of the bundle offer.

Also.. The topic derailed quite a lot sooo to contribute I for myself don't give or trade keys unless A : I don't want the game or B : I already own it from a previous purchase.. Quite wrong to keep the DRM free copy and deal about the activation keys that i can only say!

Riiiiight...because it's not against the will of EA or Activision that you sell your copy of Xbox 360 FIFA 12 or Modern Warfare 3 when you're done with it is it, and it's not against the will of said companies for you to lend your games to friends, is it?

There's the letter of the law, there's what you want, there's what the other party wants, and then there's this inconvenient little thing in the middle called 'reality'. It's what makes otherwise 'honest' gamers download abandonware, it's what makes otherwise 'honest' law-abiding citizens cross the road with a crossing 20yds down the road when the law forbids them from jaywalking, it's what makes otherwise 'honest' people declare the odd expense for tax purposes that wasn't actually to do with work.

It's never been about following the letter of the law, it's about being FAIR. It's about having a well-adjusted moral compass. If we always did precisely what the other person told us to do to the detriment of our own interests, the world would be a truly horrible place to live in.

It is not supposed to, but I still got Hinterlands.

Good bonus though, it's a nice little game. Relatively simple but I enjoyed it a lot.

No, I didn't say that (if you're refferring to the controversial giveaway I said the 'lesser' offer was the one Steam key as opposed to the Desura key which had more games on it).

As for Nile, what I'm saying is that both Niles are the enhanced edition and if Desura previously didn't have the enhanced edition, they do so now and it only makes sense that they would upgrade their own copy since Royal is their baby.

I think the enhanced edition is the only version there still is. Their website certainly lists only the enhanced edition for most websites. The expansion (Alexandria) only seems to be available from Steam/Impulse.

I have no idea what they mean by the Immortal Children of the Nile build, they use that name here and there (2008 etc) but it should be interchangeable from what I can tell, really odd.

No, as far as we're concerned here (why are you talking about other games and other practises?) it's about what indieroyale allows or not.

Bingo. I've been preaching this myself for years now.

There have been plenty of demonstrations of this in sci-fi and conspiracy fiction where authority is left to robots whom are only programmed to see things in black and white.

I got Hinterlands from my steam Indie Royale key. I wasn't even aware that it's part of the pack, but both games showed up on my list.
Play Feeble Files, dude :D That's some Orwellian themed game, pretty neat story.

So, not copyright infringing and, you know, actually paying for thing is being all high and mighty? Fine, I quite like it up here on this horse. Personally, I think quite the opposite is disgusting myself but I've abstained from insults to get that point across.

I think there's a bit of a difference between EA and the tiny studio behind Adventure Apes, and neither FIFA 12 or Modern Warfare 3 allow you to hand off one copy while keeping the other for yourself. Lending? I don't have an issue with it. Duplicating a game so now there are two people with permanent copies? Fuck you, quite frankly.

And my well adjusted moral compass prefers to compensate those who provide entertainment for me. Because I'm not selfish and greedy, and my own self interests aren't "rip off small studios and get games for free".

I haven't done any of those things before, but thanks for the veiled attack on my credibility. But whoops, looks like can continue taking levels as a lawful good moral crusader.

and by being "fair" you mean taking advantage of a system based on trust set up small indie developers, trying to be fair to their customers.... riiiight..... you got me convinced now.... good moral compass there.
