Not as good as the DRM free humble bundle since this one requires Steam.

Bundle oversaturation. I already have a huge backlog of gaming journalists in my basement, so I'll pass on this one.

I'm confused, what exactly is the point of being shitty like this?
I really don't see the problem of having multiple regular bundle events for independent games. typically most inde games offer little stand alone gameplay thanks to them usually focusing on only one or two game mechanics (that they then do really well) and naturally don't offer much more than a bit of fun for a few hours.
there has been plenty of indie games that I have been interested in but declined to buy simply because I knew that despite being able to afford them, I really wasn't going to play them all that much ... but when it came time that the games were included in a bundle with other indie games (provided there was at least one other game I liked) I really couldn't find a reason not to go for it because even if the game I wanted wasn't gonna last all that long, I was still gonna get more than enough game play one way or another.
personally I say "the more the merrier" 'cause it's not like these games are constantly offered in the same bundle all the time, so the more collections that are being assembled and reassembled regularly means more chances for someone, somewhere to find the perfect bundle for their tastes that includes a few games that they wouldn't have tried out otherwise (possibly expanding that persons interests while definitely giving smaller teams hands on their games that they normally wouldn't have).
Wolfire may have hit on gold with their Humble bundle idea, but that hardly means that they should have exclusive rights to offering bundles.
WTF is wrong with RPS? every time I turn around they are pulling something douche-y, it's like they are trying to out cock themselves on a daily bases.

And that's very bad.
