Support the developers of these games, they can't get much cheaper.

Of course! Like me!

Hats are way more valuable than Dollar or Stocks right now!

Everyone sell your gold and buy hats.

Only missing four of the games in this pack (the oldest and newest of Dejobaan's Steam-hosted games, an FPS, and a tower defense and/or strat game), two of which are in genres I don't have an affinity for.

However, I am considering this not only for silly hat (for a game I don't play anymore...), but for gifting the games I already have. That's if I would have an immediate, receptive recipient for 'em.

@TJF588 I would love to receive one of the games in the pack. Especially Super Meat Boy. I missed it when it was on sale over the holiday.

@TJF588 *sigh* It's not a public offer, gaiz. Personal friends sorta thing. Just publicly ruminating on possible actions.

I hate to burst your bubble but in general you can't gift certain games out of a pack when you buy a deal like this. If you buy them individually then you could but the benefit to you would be nullified.

That would usually hold true, but the Steam storefront states very plainly that you may gift extras out of this pack to your pals.

Well the way you put it sounded very much like "hey, who wants me to gift them some games?"

You get Meat Boy as a potato. Does that count?

1... 2... 3... KICK IT! (Drop That Beat Like an Ugly Baby) looks surprisingly promising. I purchased it and the idea is really promising: procedural Aaaaa! with music.

I have many of the games in the pack, if I get the pack, can the extra copies be regifted to my friends? I remember a couple of packs back in a Steam sale, those extra copies were "lost", Steam didn't allow you to regift them.

You can re-gift copies of games you already have for this specific sale. I'm not sure if it's standard policy now, but you can for this sale in particular.

It's not necessarily standard policy, even if it usually works that way. Always work checking before hand. I've been burned by that once, where I was unable to gift a game I already had.

Also, if you don't own the Steam copy, you cannot, under any circumstances, gift it, even if you own a copy from another service, boxed or bought directly.

You can buy just SMB for $7.50. All the games are also individually discounted.

Too bad everybody on Steam already owns at least half of these games

Seriously, though. These are all astonishing Indie Games (especially Super Meat Boy), and ignoring these deals is an absolute crime.

While we're adding screenshots to the gallery, there's plenty of good shots in this thread:

I have a Mac, but I think it's probably worth buying Meat Boy because I get the Mac version also when it comes out.

Indeed. Pick it up now and just sit on it. Supposedly the Mac version is coming very soon, but they've been saying that since January. : /

Bought Toki Tori - had been meaning to get that on WiiWare for ages, Rush - by same developer as Toki Tori and the concept looked good, and Audiosurf - not a fan of music genre, but this is more a racing genre with an awesome soundtrack and is an awesome game I've also been meaning to pick up.

The issue here is - I bought the 3DS last weekend. I shouldn't be spending more money on games.

Silly Steam always forces my hand at the wrong time - stupid Christmas sales a week before Christmas making me buy games I still haven't played because they were less than £5!

I've already got some of those. Most are bad, let's not kid ourselves. But there are some gems. I mean Super Meat Boy just got tedious around World 2 and I haven't felt the urge to play it again. Amnesia was great.

Problem is that's £30. I'd rather buy Crysis 2, or other games.

Even if you don't want the whole pack, they're all discounted individually which is an awesome buy.
