Indie Devs Getting Groupies?!

Charity bundle site Groupees is offering a new bundle, simply titled Indies Unite, to help support developers negatively impacted by the Desura bankruptcy. Bad Juju Games, the company that owns Desura as well as bundle site Indie Royale, declared bankruptcy on June 4th. Prior to that, however, developers had experienced delays for sales of their games on the Desura platform.

For smaller studios, even brief delays in payment can cause major financial issues, so Groupees’ Indies Unite bundle hopes to help out developers affected by Desura’s ongoing troubles. The Indies Unite bundle features 10 games and runs until June 28th. For a minimum payment of only one dollar, you’ll receive the following games:

Epilogue
