New game sale site with shades of humble bundle

[BobTheJanitor]

This site: http://www.indieroyale.com/ was just pointed out to me recently, and I kind of like the idea. It's a pay-what-you-want scheme, but with a minimum payment floor. They start with a low minimum price, and as more copies are bought the price goes up. However, someone can push the price back down by spending above a certain price. Really I'm just curious to see if the idea works, or if it will end up falling flat. They seem to be doing okay so far, closing in on 3000 15,000 (wow, my script blocker messed that up badly) copies sold of their first bundle, which launched just today if I'm reading it right. Once this thing gets some publicity I could see it taking off.

I mention it here because I'm sure a lot of other people here like good deals on indie games as much as I do, and also because I figure Arcen might want to get in touch with them as another possible marketing avenue.

yes. I already picked up this bundle. It has at least three really good games! Even without the fourth, it's a good deal.

I'm waffling on actually purchasing this bundle, actually. The only game in there I don't have already is Gemini Rue, and I have no familiarity with that title at all. Especially with the adventure genre, it's really hard to tell if something is going to be good or not.

Just picked up this bundle (Had ARES from the Steam summer sale earlier in the year) - love the Humble Bundles, and am sure this will also become a firm favourite of mine!

The only game I wanted out of that was Gemini Rue, so I went on Steam and bought it by itself

I bought the bundle mainly for Gemini Rue actually, great game. It's short but it has a very interesting storyline.

Well worth the price.

New bundle up, by the way. NightSky, Fate of the World, Scoregasm, and Ben There, Dan That/Time Gentlemen Please.

I don't know why I'm effectively advertising for these people, but I do love cheap indie games.

Has Arcen considered contacting these guys yet? Seems like AI War or Tidalis would fit right in. Sure people are getting it at a massive discount, but like any sale of this sort, you massively make up for it in volume.
