Phc7006: If I were to pick this one, that would only be for "The few".

On the other hand, didn't read much about Cinders and the Nightmare. Should I be interested in those 2 ?
I paid 3$ to be sure I get Cinders. After couple of hours of playing Cinders I can say it's well worth the money on this game alone. It's a real shame I can't buy this game on GOG. I understand the reasons, it seems these kind of games aren't popular so it doesn't justify Gog's interest.

Well, GOG started and largely remains a niche market business. Their interest probably encompasses games that you wouldn't find on Steam or Gamersgate. The question is whether they would sell it for the full price (22.95 USD ). I'm pretty sure that at 9.99, the game would do well on GOG, but would Moa Cube trade more visbility for a lower price point ?

Moa Cube tried to get on Steam and GOG and both refused. I guess GOG has too high standards (sarcasm).

Mmm. Weird. Would be nice to have some insight from Gog on that....

Yeah, well don't hold you're breath. Though, to be fair is probably related to costs. I assume releasing a game involves some fixed costs which GOG has to support . Considering that a game like Cinders (which is a niche within a niche) has sold 2000 copies in 12 months (and is considered by developers a success) those fixed costs are not likely to be covered by GOG's share of sales much less turn o profit. Again, that's only my assumption.
Well, anyways I think we´ve got to few votes for it on the wishlist:

If it would get 1000 Votes I don´t think our beloved GOG.com-Team would refuse them anymore...

Haven´t heard of tis yet, but of cause voted!
I bought the bundle, paid (slightly) above average, but I don't see Cinders in my account. Did that happen to anyone else? I think the average displayed on the site is still the very same one displayed on the bundle's release day; maybe it's not the correct figure anymore? Has anyone had any experience with their support? If so, how long did you have to wait for a reply, and was it friendly and helpful?

Not sure if this counts - I send them an email inquiring about their "three months to download" in the FAQ and handling of updated versions of games; that was Jul 27 and have yet to get a reply (starting to doubt that I ever will).

I paid 3$ and I got it immediately. I bought it only for Cinders, if it wasn't there I would have been really mad.

That's bad. Seeing that it's a new bundle and an underdog, I was hoping the guys responsible would be particularly interested in feedback exchanges with their customers in order to improve their service and eager to promote their bundle by way of quick and friendly replies.

Then again, the FAQ now says:
Q: For how long is the download page working?
A: As long as GamesRage exists! If this time will have to be shortened a bit (storage space costs some), we'll notify you via email at least a month in advance.

So maybe there's hope, in that they might have listened and just didn't send you an individual reply?

Same here, but I was a little cheaper, typing $2.35 when the average was displayed as $2.28. Anyway, that is above the average, isn't it? And as it is now, I paid $2.35 more than I normally would have for 4 games that I most probably have no use for ...

Ah, the changes must be very-very recent. I thought it might be the case, so I've been checking for changes on their site and they weren't there this morning.

I also suggested that they add a direct link to the supported charity and I see that they've done this as well.

It looks like they do listen. Still, a reply would have counted very positively - maybe they underestimated the work and time required to run a succesful bundle and are a bit overwhelmed.
Too bad they didn't expand their FAQ to cover other questions I asked - maybe they'll do so later.


Regarding the BTA - I seriously doubt it's current or properly updated; IIRC, it showed as $2.28 when they came back online and hasn't changed since.
Either way, you should contact them and see how you can get this sorted out.
The bundle now includes the soundtracks for Cinders and OddPlanet, artworks for Cinders, King's Arthur Gold and Nightmares from the Deep and a Bonfire demo.
