Indie Royale


Indie Royale were a series of game bundles similar in concept to the Humble Bundle. Purchasers were able to decide how much they want to pay for a bundle, but - unlike the Humble Indie Bundles - Indie Royale bundles had a minimum price. This price was increased slightly every time a buyer chooses to pay the minimum amount, and was reduced when a buyer pays significantly more than the minimum.
Indie Royale was a joint venture between the defunct video game download service Desura, which was owned by Bad Juju Games and the independent game editorial site IndieGames.com. Bundles were released approximately once every 2 weeks and typically run for 7 days, except for "Lightning Packs" which ran for 100 hours. Every game included in an Indie Royale bundle supported the Windows operating system, and many also supported Mac OS X or Linux. There were up to 3 ways for a customer to install games purchased through Indie Royale: by using Steam, using Desura, or by directly downloading an installer. However, some games were Steam-exclusive or not on Steam at all, so the available channels varied from game to game.
