Well I just got home, and in addition to sitting through like 10 minutes of DOTA 2 update hard disk grinding, I already own Cubemen. You win this round, Steam.

Steam sale veterans, are there "rules" when it comes to buying indie games? For example, if a somewhat popular indie game pops up as a daily on day 3, should I buy it or wait for it to be on a bundle. Can I gift games I already own from those bundles?

edit- nevermind, didn't realize the games in the bundles are revealed beforehand

Same, I was looking forward to picking up a few games, but they're in bundles where I already own the rest of the games in there. Hopefully they discount the individual games too.

DERP, there's like one game in every bundle that I don't own.

Yeah that's annoying. There are 2-3 games I want out of that but they are in bundles that don't interest me.

Lone Survivor
Machinarium
Botanicula

are probably the only ones I'm really interested in getting.

Anyone else have Team Fortress 2 trying to update? Mine just stays at 0%. And I really want to play it... First world problems.

I wish Indie developers would not do business with EA. I have never seen Deathspank 1+2 in a bundle, there was that one time for that $20 EA bundle, but i only want the first two Deathspank games.

Day 1 is the only one I'd consider getting for Lone Survivor and Anomaly Warzone if it's cheaper than the 2 games together. Also Sword & Sorcery, Braid and Botanicula but I'd assume I could get them cheaper individually.

I didn't really expect that last one in Day 5.

But I already have most of these(or at least most that I want) so ;_;

How long do you stay a junior?
3 months after registering and after you rack up 300 posts.

Xseed is about to COLLECT on day 5.

I'd be excited about those daily Indie Packs if I didn't already own 60%+ of the titles...

Hopefully the individual games have a decent discount and I'll just grab the few that I'm interested in.

Xseed is about to COLLECT on day 5.

Really? I'd say its stupid similar to Receattear. It matched with multiple other games that have been given away already in multiple other bundles or on sale for dirt cheap. Audiosurf for example is word vomit and a waste of a space. Its been on sale for like 2$ every sale since 2009.

I'd much rather have a 66% off sale for a daily deal.

Like most others have stated. The packs are great for new players, but people who have been on Steam for a few years now already own most of the games. So its like one, maybe 2 games in a pack of 5. And its to the point where I'd rather just pay the addition few bucks for the two games I want. Than buy another pack.

So those indie bundles will probably be $10 based on recent Steam indie bundle prices and the presence of the last game in bundle 5.

How much do you guys think these bundles will go for? $5 seems waaaay too generous, but at $10, I'm not sure if I'll be interested in buying a bundle for one game.

Also, I remember the Recettear guys saying they wish they weren't in a $5 bundle because the game was too cheap. And since then, I don't think it's been below $10 (I could be wrong here).

Same, though who knows? Maybe these are $20 indie bundles rather than $5, though I still would like Xseed to make the most money possible and I imagine a single $5 will do more good for that.

Also, I remember the Recettear guys saying they wish they weren't in a $5 bundle because the game was too cheap. And since then, I don't think it's been below $10 (I could be wrong here).
They've had solo $5 deals afterwards, which is what would be best for Ys I think.
 
Ys is totally worth the asking price for Day 5, everyone. Daily or not, it's great!

What happens if I have a game in the Indie Bundle?

I just want Audiosurf and Cave Story +.
You usually don't get a giftable copy of the game you already have. Sometimes, however, you do get them as gifts.

What's so good about it, just asking :D

Y's, I'm assuming. I know squat about the other games with it though.

But damn, there's only one or two things I want in those bundles. Guess I'm stocking up on stuff I'll never play. Gonna pray for what I want to be discounted anyway. D:

personally I'm hoping for Ys Origin on a daily, I've already got Oath on PSP

Also I own like 2-3 games in all those bundles... ah well
