OP doesn't have rep enough to post links yet. +1 to you for helping out. =)
Right, this is going to come across as a bit mean-spirited, but here we go:

- Marketing your own bundle on another (competing) gaming site is not exactly good form. There's certainly nothing wrong with popping up in existing threads to offer support or answer questions, but creating a whole new thread to market a bundle is a bit of a no-no. This is essentially spam (although I'm not going to report it as such - I'll leave that to the mods to decide).

- Your reputation following the Puddle affair (particularly ) and the [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/general/bundle_bandits/post58]email security issue is not exactly the best. Not to mention leaving your entire unfinished development website on-line for weeks. Despite your claims that the website has been developed by experienced professionals, I'm unconvinced, and so I'd have serious reservations about buying anything through it.

- Xotic, Rhythm Destruction and Zombie Shooter have all been bundled to death before.

- Loot Hero and Pirate Jump 2 are already free games.

That leaves Just Kill Yourself and Cardmatch 3D, which admittedly do look halfway interesting, although nobody seems to have bought Just Kill Yourself, so it's impossible to tell if its any good.

I guess they don't call 'em Bandits for nothing.
Oh, and pass.

OP, in future instead of starting new thread you might want to post on the gaming deals thread:
http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gaming_deals_thread

It's an active thread with lots of followers who monitor bundles.

Oh come on. While I agree with much of what you say, this is not really that bad. There's typically a thread per bundle on the forum, does it really matter if it's opened by Spooderman or the owners of the bundle site? Now, if they were bumping it or creating several of these, then I too would join in telling them off. But the other reasons alone were enough as a call of attention, I think.

There's a reason that it's considered bad form to post your own products here. Imagine if every indie game developer and bundle provider posted a shameless plug for their game here? The forums would be overrun. As soon as you start making exceptions, you open yourself up to accusations of biased modding when the actual spammers come.

Adam Biser's plug of Kilgazar was accepted here because Adam's been a member of the community for a long time. BundleBandits is different - they created the account specifically for their website.

Likewise, NukemDukem's plug of his gameplay videos was less well-received because he created his account specifically for that and it was obvious that he was simply trying to get views on his channel (in fact, a quick Google reveals that this is all he was interested in at the end of the day - he wasn't in it to simply make game videos, he just saw it as a monetisation opportunity).

Bit of a difference between a fan of a bundle keen to tell others about something they found vs someone who has a vested interested in product ie rep (remember the amazon rep business someone mentioned a while back?)
Mostly interested in this for Xotic, and you didn't bundle a DRM-free version, so really nothing here for me in this one.

Also, some clarity on the Injustice offer please. It sounds like you get the game when you pay $5, but you use the verb "win". Does this mean that people who pay $5 or more are entering a drawing to receive the game? Or do they automatically receive it? Because if it's a drawing, it should be "chance to win". And if it's automatically included at that price point, you may just want to say "receive". I know it's a picky distinction, but it makes me wonder nonetheless.
Sure, there is a difference between the two. I won't argue that. However, I still don't see it that bad. We still get 1 thread per bundle, that is hardly flooding. I wouldn't call it spam unless they kept insisting by frequently bumping their threads or creating new ones all the time. I for one found it nice that they bothered to create an account to reply to the questions our community had about their new site, even if the answers weren't the ones I would have hoped for.

Either way, this thread will a) get the same discussion any other bundle thread would have (making it a legitimate thread) or b) get ignored and fall ot oblivion, so I don't see it as a particularly bad idea.

That said, my opinion might be related to not considering the bigger picture (if everyone did that, yes it would be annoying) and not really remembering previous cases.

Exactly my concerns. BundleBandits some input would be nice.

You win by paying $5 or more. *sarcasm

not paying, donating. The bundle seems to have a buy button and an optional donation, and the bundle alone is 2$, so chances are you would have to pay 7$ for it. Which is quite confusing and could use some clarification, too.

Oh my. I'm liking this bundle less and less.
