jamyskis: Iconoclasts, which was in the 2012 June Bug Bundle. At the time in Alpha status, it seems to have been pulled from Desura and abandoned.
2012 June Bug Bundle contained:

PixelJunk Eden
Escape Goat
Noitu Love 2: Devolution (which is made by the same guy who is working on Iconoclasts)
Auditorium

Yep, and Iconoclasts (Alpha) is listed under the same heading as Noitu Love 2 in the downloads page.

Last update from it was v1.0 on 2012-06-11.

jamyskis: Recruits, which was in the 2012 Groupees Build a Greenlight bundle and which has seen next to no development in six months.
I do not follow this, but a quick google found their website, where the last dev blog post was from Jan 03 this year

http://forums.recruitsgame.com/t/development-log-3/61

Does not seem abandoned to me, nor that there has been no development in the last 6 months.

yea, but that was just the alpha demo, same as the one on his website. You did not buy Iconoclasts, nor has it ever been on Desura.

Ahh, got it. I was just pointing out that the game, indeed, was in the bundle in some form as a bonus since you left it out in your list.

amok: no, it is not sold. there is a demo on Joakim Sandberg's website, but the game is not for sale. AFAIK the developer is a bit of a perfectionist and have trouble showing unfinished work.
I know it's not sold, but I'm saying that although a preview was included in an Indie Royale, I don't think the preview was ever available through Desura like jamyskis suggests. And it seemed clear to me at the time that it was just a preview and not a pre-order with alpha access.

jamyskis: ...
It doesn't matter how long he takes to finish it because he's not sold it to anyone. :P

sorry, did not mean any offence.

To be honest, the demo in itself would have been worth paying for to play, no matter it being on the short side and unfinished :)

Niggles: Actually bit offended by your Groupee comments. They almost never churn out the 'named" games unlike the other bundles.
Fwiw they go the gog route and try to choose games which are in a way unique (unlike the bundle factories IG/HiB and lesser degree IR) and try to appeal to Steam AND drm free/desura crowd. Id call them the Community bundlers (yeah the fact they called some of their bundles that way says it all).
This.

For me Groupees is still the best bundle site. Most of the time they have some interesting and unique games, a good mixture between Steam keys and DRM-free stuff, nice music and good bonuses (e.g soundtracks, comics and sometimes even literature).

Can't complain about them (except for the server crash some months ago).

There was none taken! Sorry if I gave off the air of being offended.
Bleed and Not the Robots are good, but I expect most people to have Bleed already.

The rest of the games aren't worth playing. No Time to Explain was way too frustrating for me to play, Arcane Worlds is far from finished, and I don't think I need to go into detail about Unearthed.
It seems like Steam-only games are becoming a standard in the latest IRs (except the Debut bundles of course). And there seems to have many repeats too (even in Debut bundles! For example, I didn't buy the latest Debut bundle since there were only 2 games I didn't already have!). Groupees' Build a Bundles and IGs' deals are becoming more suitable for me because of the choices they offer.
That Unearthed game looks interesting. Bad yes, but interesting some weird way. Doubt that is enough reason to get the bundle though.
I was actually backer of No Time to Explain on Kicstarter. That was way before Double Fine making Kickstarter what it is now for gamers. Not a good game sadly.

My impression as well. The way how they handled the server crash comes across as very unprofessional, but apart from that, their bundles, while not always great, have certainly become much more interesting to me than recent IR bundles, plus they're cheaper and don't require me to pay in euro or to pay VAT. ;) And I really like their Build-Your-Own-Bundle approach, much better than having to pay for games you wouldn't even touch with a ten foot pole.

With recently introduced regional pricing, I check the conversion rates, then move to wherever the bundle is cheaper.

Seems like we're close to another Migration Period.
