I just grabbed the bundle because I wanted to check out a few of these RPGs and roguelikes (at least one I've not seen before), along with the choose-your-own-"Adventure Books" to see how enjoyable those are. 

It sent me an email with a direct link to a user-specific download page that has a direct DRM-free installer download link for all the games, along with Desura keys for those that are hosted there, and a Steam key for Hack Slash Loot (probably the only Steam game in the lot that has been Greenlit or whatevah).

I'm not sure how long the download page link will be good for, so I'll just burn the installers to a couple disks and possibly drop them on an external hard drive.  The file sizes are pretty small, being indies without super flashy graphics.   There's no login that I see but the page url has a user code at the end and some additional content code listed. *shrug*  I'm alright with this since it's DRM free so I can make backups.  Probably don't ever have to use the link again.

Supposedly some of the profits go to indie dev funding.. I'm guessing at Desura?  Dunno.  But I saved a chunk of money on a couple of these I had been eyeing for awhile (like Frayed Knights).

Strategic War in Europe   $3.74 @ GG

Thanks. Grabbed it. Looks a lot like the old Hitler's War board game. I know there's one out there somewhere that's faithful to that version though.

Is the P-51D Mustang a complete game like A-10c Warthog or is it just the plane that you then use in an existing world...like Rise of Flight does it?

Hell.. I think they still only have the usual Black Sea area modelled in the DCS series, amiright?  I get the impression that you're just flying the P-51 around on the modern Black Sea map.  Is this correct?

picked this up but my key for ancient shadows wasn't accepted by steam and I didn't get a key for vengeance of the machine. I realize I don't need to add these games to steam to play them but like to have them on my list of steam games. I have contacted gamersgate support so hopefully they can resolve the issue. anyone else purchase this and have any issues? the base game and first three expansions were added to steam with no problems.

heard back from them. they just say I don't need steam for these games and they cant do anything. pretty much what I expected. perhaps I will contact arcen games and see if I can get two keys that work on steam!
