Doubt it but, any response yet? Kinda curious if they really plan on giving two copies of the game for every purchase.

They're supposed to according to the description for the game on the bundle page... if they didn't intend to give two copies away with every purchase then they shouldn't have copied and pasted the description.
Not heard back yet, but then it was friday evening by the time I wrote to them so I don't expect to hear anything until monday.

I mostly trust them to honour what was written, but on the off chance they turn dodgy and change the text I took a screenshot:

I hate to be pessimistic, but judging from what's happening now and what happened in the first indiefort, I have little faith in Gamersgate getting around to providing Steam keys for the games that get greenlit a couple of months down the line.

I don't see why they have any obligation to, it's the developers that should provide them (in exchange for proof of purchase on GG).

Because no other bundle makes me chase devs up for keys?

Was it said anywhere that they would be included though? I had no idea actually that Steam keys were involved in these bundles, but maybe I wasn't paying attention.

To be honest I haven't looked at what GG say about the bundle, I'm getting my info from echoMateria on Steamgifts:

Also the games on this bundle that have Steam versions already present will give Steam keys to add to your account... The rest are all on Greenlight (except 2, here is a link to the Greenlight Collection) and you will get a Steam key for those when they are greenlit with your votes.

But the question is where is echoMateria getting this info from? I don't see any public info on GG that they're supposed to include Steam keys.

Hopefully he'll clear this up the next time he drops by.

I hope the keys do turn up after games get greenlit, because I think there must be a fair few people that have taken a punt on these bundles in the hope they would eventually get some of the games added to their Steam library.

I'm getting my information from the the private chatroom GamersGate setup to coordinate the 18 involved indie teams for this big bundle. Senior GamersGate staff has left for the weekend and the remaining staff member can't make more comments about this issue without getting in touch with them or fix things by himself at the moment. So we are all waiting. I'll update when there is an improvement on this situation.

Originally there were no plans to include Steam keys for any of the games involved in IndieFort. It took some persuading when I pushed this change for the games that already have Steam versions to provide Steam keys as well. They wanted to keep this as a bonus the involved teams are offering themselves and not an official situation at GamersGate, probably to keep people from expecting the same thing in the future all the time. That is why there aren't any official words about the Steam keys on the bundle page.

But it seems they had some trouble setting this up, considering the problem they earlier had with the Caster keys and now with this one. The situation with the Caster keys were fixed by the Monday, so I am hopeful for a positive resolution to this one by then as well.

Steam Greenlight keys delivery promise depends solely on the developers of the games in question. We won't back away from our promise, but I can't speak for everyone. All I know is that everyone involved were in agreement over this when I wrote that description.

I see... So I was right that it's not an official policy. However, if they've agreed to it that's cool. Why not Desura keys as well/instead?

Regarding the GamersGate's IndieFort Bundle:

I talked with Natalia from Sigma Team, and she said: GamersGate staff present said that "They are on it!", so expect the Steam keys for Alien Shooter 2 Conscription to appear soon.

News regarding the Achron keys aren't so good though, on top of no comments regarding double keys promise, GamersGate is saying that there aren't any Steam keys for Achron in this bundle. This was a surprise to me as well since this doesn't match with my information earlier.

I can't get into details why and whose to blame for all the problems of the bundle. I can only apologize for my part in relying wrong information earlier. I am not a GamersGate employee, but a member of one of the 18 indie teams involved. I only did my part in promoting the bundle, based on the information I was given at the moment.

Thanks for the follow-up, echoMateria.


Although I'm not impressed with the way GamersGate have handled this, I really AM impressed with War of the Human Tanks. Your team have made an AWESOME game and I hope as many people as possible try it and buy it. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I'm looking forward to seeing it on Steam, and also to seeing what you guys come up with next.

I got two replies about the second Achron key: The first one said that you only get one copy of the game unless you buy two bundles and the second one shortly after said you do get two copies and that a second one had been added to my account.

My guess is the first response was before he'd realised that it says that in Achron's description on the bundle page. Happily, my screenshot was unneeded. :)
Not meaning to take away credit, but isn't Fruitbat Factory just the localisation team? I mean, that's not to say that localisation isn't important to it being great, but I think Yakiniku Banzai deserves credit as well. :)
