Comment on A Game Pass for indie games: meet Indie Pass, a $6.99-a-month subscription launching with 70 titles

  I could see this as useful to get for a month so you can try out a bunch of indie titles to find ones you like before you buy them. Could be helpful for developers that don’t have small demos or anything.

  Certainly not useful to have perpetually.

    2 hour refunds on steam have never let me down. Also I’d rather encourage devs to release a demo versus yet another subscription model. This is a big pass from me.

      To be sure, that’s a decent way to do it. If indie.io had something similar, that might be nice.

      Though given it’s all indie games over there, I’d be on board to pay this 6.99 not as a subscription, but as a fee to get a week to try out whatever I’d like for some reasonable amount of time, maybe set by the developer. Then of the games I’ve tried but not purchased the full version of, split the 6.99 between them.

      Maybe utopian thinking but it’d be nice.
