IndieGala, s.r.l. is an Italy-based digital storefront for video games, which grew out of its original offering of Indie Gala Bundles, a collections of games sold at a price determined by the purchaser and with a portion of the price going towards charity and the rest split between the game developers. IndieGala continues to offer these limited-time bundles, but have expanded to include a greater and more persistent storefront.
History [ edit ]
Initial bundles were typically collections of independently developed games featuring multi-platform support (including Microsoft Windows , macOS , and Linux platforms), mainly on the Steam platform . Subsequently, the bundles became more frequent and expanded to include games from established developers, AAA publishers ,[1] games for Android -based devices,[2] [3] games without digital rights management (DRM), graphic design assets. IndieGala's bundles were some of the first to feature digital copies of music [4] [5] and comic books .[6] Bundles are presently offered on a more regular basis, with a persistent storefront for individual game sales.[7]
The IndieGala Bundle offerings support a number of charities, including Save The Children , Child's Play , AbleGamers Foundation , Italian Red Cross charities, most notably supporting the efforts in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy that was affected by a series of earthquakes .[5] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] The success of the Humble Bundle approach is what inspired IndieGala and a number of similar efforts to offer "pay what you want" bundles, including Indie Royale and Fanatical (formerly Bundle Stars).[15] [16] [17] [18] [19]
The IndieGala operation has since grown to include a dedicated storefront, a Steam -like client similar to GOG's Galaxy or Desura 's client, a publishing and development arm, as well as a fund to support indie games and indie developers .[20] [21] [22]
As a corporation, IndieGala is headquartered in Rome , Italy , with about 25 employees.[23] Its co-founder and CEO is Riccardo Rosapepe.[24]
IndieGala's online debut and their first bundle named "The Indie Gala" was released on December 5, 2011, and sold over 20,000 copies.[25] [26] [27] [28] [29]
IndieGala's first published game was officially released on Steam on May 21, 2015, and it sold over 40,000 copies globally.[30]
IndieGala's first developed game was released in Early Access on Steam on 20 December 2017.[31]
In March 2022 IndieGala announced the development of a new open-world horror game.[32]

Controversy and Criticism [ edit ]
In 2013, a Indie Gala bundle had a part of its proceeds going towards the political election campaign of a candidate in Vancouver .[45] [46]
In 2017, in an attempt to mitigate piracy , IndieGala gave away one of their Unreal Engine titles, Die Young,[47] which at that point of time was still in Early Access. [48] [49]
In 2017, due to a checkout issue involving G2A in the IndieGala system, customers were unknowingly subscribed to subscription trial. The company apologized and the affected customers were compensated.[50] [51] [52]
In 2017, the customers of IndieGala together with other retailers such as Green Man Gaming and GamesPlanet who have purchased Castle of Illusion from their respective storefronts were affected by a series of key deactivations. The issue apparently stemmed from a technical mishap the moment when the publishing agreement between SEGA and Disney came to an end, the situation however was later resolved.[53] [54]
