However complaints have hit the internet about the site with some concerned that the person in charge is attempting some sort of scam.

As a result developers for two of the games included in the bundle (Bob Came in Pieces and Graviton 2) have now pulled out of supporting this venture. The PC Gamer blog site has chats with the developers behind the two games as well as the German-based organizer of this bundle who attempts to defend himself (it doesn't help that his broken English response is incomprehensible at times). Our verdict after reading all of this, well, stuff? Just wait for the next bundle deal.

If you ever wanted to try a game that's outside the mainsteam this is the perfect opportunity.
