And all I wanted to do was spread the joy of a new Indie Royale bundle. Shame on me!

Let's analyze this:

Why would I do this?

This sounds like the act of a rebel and/or a saboteur (of which i am neither)...so why would anyone do this?


Lol

There was something that took place in America last month where the city government walked into a poor housing area and shut down some woman handing out free food.

She didn't have the appropriate and expensive paper work to hand out free food in a no free food zone.

That's exactly what you're supposed to do. Or activate it on Desura for when Steam is down or you get mistakenly banned by Valve or whatever.

The Desura key is not a "separate game". It's a different way to access the same game that you were provided for convenience sake. If they could have had the same key activate on both Desura and Steam, they would have done that - it's only two keys because Desura and Steam don't work like that.

Some of my GOG games have Mac installers available. Well, I don't have a Mac. Does that allow me to download the Mac installers of the games and provide them to Mac users to keep the Mac versions from "going to waste"? No! Forget TOS, that's just piracy.

I keep asking myself this. Why on earth would anyone do this? I think the answer is greed.

But this is more like you coming in and taking the free food and selling it to the poor. (yes, I know you are giving, point is the woman looses out)

I didn't like most of Indie Roayeles, but this one is must have for me ;) Especially for Puzzle Agent 2, I love that style!

Indeed, greedy greed-a-buggers giving away stuff.

If the woman was handing out pirated DVDs, would it still be charity? No, because she fucking paid for the food (or had it donated, with permission of those providing the food). She didn't buy some food at a ridiculously steep discount, take double what she paid for without permission of the sellers, eat half of it, and then dump what she didn't want on someone else.

Your so called act of charity loses you no money. You don't give anything up for the goodness of others. Calling what you're doing charity is a slap in the face. You're exploiting the goodness of a group of small developers and trying to pass it off as a moral service you do out of the goodness of your heart. That absolutely fucking disgusts me that you would consider yourself at remotely the same level as someone feeding the homeless.

Last word from me on the matter of splitting up the bundles and sharing out keys, so there are no illusions -

1) you are not fighting 'the power' and big corporations, you are misusing the trust of the underdog (Desura / IndeRoyale) and ripping of indie developers. You seem to like everything DRM free, but this behaviour is just the justification for putting so much DRM on things that it is not possible to do so any more.

2) Why don't you just go and pirate the damed games. The result for IndieRoyale and the developers is exactly the same, but at least then there is not this rubbish pretence that you are doing "a good dead". I prefer a good old fashioned pirate to this rubbish, at least he is honest with what he is doing.

I am done with this now.

Now you're talking McDonald's.


Kind like Robin Hood went ape-shitz and started Rob'in every body.

Seriously though - it's just one key.

Had the person not been given it, they probably would not have bought it themselves because they would have been distracted by something much more interesting - Like life outdoors.

This equates to one less person to care about or spread the word around for those games..or bundles in general.

I most certainly hope not.

Old joke time, you have all heard this one before:

This Scottish farmer walks into the neighborhood pub, and orders a whiskey.

"Ye see that fence over there?" he says to the bartender. "Ah built it with me own two hands! Dug up the holes with me shovel, chopped doon the trees for the posts by me ownself, laid every last rail! But do they call me 'McGregor the Fence-Builder?' No..."

He gulps down the whiskey and orders another. "Ye see that pier on the loch?" He continues, "Ah built it me ownself, too. Swam oot into the loch to lay the foondations, laid doon every single board! But do they call me 'McGregor the Pier-Builder?' No."

"But ye fuck ONE sheep ..."

That's a bit different.

Technically those links can get around meaning the whole net could wind up with the link.
Unless GOG has IP restricted those links like the bundles started doing.

If you're meaning giving away MAC GOGs then I agree, I decided against that. But taking the Interplay Bundle for example - I traded some of those keys and gave the rest of the excess away.

Have you ever looked at GOGs Classified thread?

Yes, and you're the only one doing it, right?

I get what you're saying but that is faulty programming of the human mind of which I am not responsible for.

The inability to properly discern right from wrong, producing self-righteous mobs, has paved many a road in hell filled with machine guns and landmines.

As I told the other dude in this thread - If you understand you did no wrong then you gotta go down like Gibson in Braveheart.

No one's arguing that Scotsman foul nowadays.
As I said before and aside from the Royal's TOS - The morale majority seem to agree to reserve their duplicates until after that bundle is over.

Thus they don't steal away a potential funder and their keys have more value since they're no longer cheaply obtainable.

He wasn't giving away video games, you're not fighting against violent, bloody oppression.
