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.
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]
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]
