“Pirate Bay Bundle” shares 101 little-known indie games via BitTorrent

Since The Humble Bundle launched in 2010 to almost immediate success, the Internet has been absolutely flooded with similar pay-what-you-want bundles of various indie games. Even amid this flood, a new indie game bundle stands out, both for its selection of titles and its distribution method.

The Pirate Bay Bundle is a free collection of 101 small indie titles that I can almost guarantee you've never heard of, let alone played. Curator Moshboy describes the collection as an extension of his Underrated Indie Games series of YouTube videos. "Some were made for game jams, others were made just because, some are made by celebrated game makers, many are made by folks that you won’t know," Moshboy explains. "Many are usually only available to play in your browser, but I managed to convince these wonderful folks to provide me with offline versions."

As the name implies, this massive collection of games is being distributed via a BitTorrent link on The Pirate Bay, with the cooperation of all the creators involved. While other indie bundles have also shared their DRM-free games via BitTorrent, I'm not aware of any that have willingly offered their selections entirely free via the popular and perpetually legally pressured torrent-sharing site (though that hasn't stopped some people from turning to piracy to save a penny on other bundles).

Hosts/Admins - I can see that this might be considered inappropriate for DU, though it does appear legit and not theft in any way, just say the word and I'll self delete it.
