MacGameStore Presents a 10 Year Anniversary Sales Event!

A new Pay What You Want bundle has been posted, this time it is 10 games from KISS ltd.

Also for the rest of this week, all normal game purchases (excluding the bundle) grants a freebie game called "Pickers: Adventures in Rust". That is automatically added to cart (if you don't already own it!).

The last bit of event news, is that all purchases (except wallet and gift cards) net double the reward points. This also includes purchases of the bundle.

The sales continue!

I take it that bundle #1 was a success?

Enough to gain the attention of a few other publishers.

Personally I would have expected more if the advertising or PR took off... but for how little it was mentioned out in the world, it did quite well.

This new bundle is going absolutely no where.... heh. Its a stick in the mud.

Well, it is a pretty weird gathering of games.

I already picked up the 39 steps when it was at a give away price on steam and that was OK as far as interactive stories go.

Nothing else stands out for me but I've picked it up anyway given the low price as hopefully we can encourage more game developers to also offer their titles for OS X. A couple of the Steam keys said  invalid platform so not all may have added their Mac version on their yet.

Wait what ?? Please let us know the exact games that did this. All of those are SUPPOSED to be Mac! At least, that is what KISS ltd led us to believe. Please let us know.

Crap, just discovered yes... Litil Divil and Snooker are windows only on Steam. Hrm, this presents a bit of a logic issue with how our end is setup with Mac and "Optional Steam Key Provided" ........ as... well, it may be optional, but it doesnt give a mac version on steam! Gaaaaah. I hate logic issues like this, as it means yet-another-exception-rule-to-the-already-bloated-system.

Yeah sorry to cause problems for you. I'm guessing the Mac builds will be added to Steam at some point so it's not a priority for me as I'm still busy with other games at the moment so they are just joining the queue...

If they never do, there is always the non-steam download method for all the mac versions in the bundle. They download through MGS (which is pretty simple to use), and once downloaded you DONT need mgs running to launch/play them.

This bundle #2 didnt have any real good AAA titles that key-farmers can buy into. Which is pretty much what happens with these kinds of bundles. The actual legit number of normal people buying pay whatever bundles is very low compared to how many repeat purchases by those china/korea/russia resellers who are just turning around and selling the keys elsewhere for more.
