Tanukitsune Posted September 11, 2009 Despite the fact that I already own Braid on 360, buying it again on Steam seemed like a good excuse to play it again... But when I downloaded I saw two new games next to it! Crash Time II and Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals, which happen to be published by Meridian4. I remember buying the complete pack a while ago, and when I always buy one I always jokingly think that this should entitle me to all the games they ever publish.... EVER! And now... I actually got two new games from them? The only other complete packs I remember buying is the PopCap one and the Mumbo Jumbo one, but Mumbo Jumbo has had new games since the pack and I didn't get those... And now I wonder... is this a mistake? Or do some companies actually do this? Even if they do do this I doubt it would be permanent, perhaps you get all the games published after a few months since the day you purchased the pack?

JonCole Posted September 11, 2009 If this is true, that's amazing and really something new. I'd certainly "subscribe" to certain devs/pubs if I could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted September 11, 2009 They seems to be just so-so games though... And they aren't part of the Meridian4 pack, which is weird? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonCole Posted September 11, 2009 Still, I've always thought that the idea of giving a sum of money to an indie dev to essentially pre-buy all future games (within reason) would be pretty cool. I know that a lot of indie devs toy around with weird sales models, but I don't know if anyone worthwhile has done this type of thing yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted September 11, 2009 There's a small publisher in my country who gave free games if you sent them enough registered game cards... I don't know if they still do it though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noyb Posted September 11, 2009 The guy behind Immortal Defense is selling his past and future games for a flat fee on Kickstarter. I seem to remember Flashbang toying with a yearly subscription, although they seem to have abandoned it for one-time purchases to download their games.

Nachimir Posted September 11, 2009 Not a subscription, but Edmund McMillen sells the past 10 years of his work on a CD for $10. It's called "This Is A Cry For Help". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got it, but isn't the version of Gish just a demo, or did it have both?
