The company's co-founder and CEO is Riccardo Rosapepe.[2][3]
History
IndieGala started out by offering video game bundles, similar to Humble Bundle, with games offered generally only for Microsoft Windows, and usually with digital rights management (DRM). The first IndieGala bundle was released on December 5, 2011.[4]
Most games, so far, have been Steam keys or Desura keys and not direct downloads. Exceptions include, but are not limited to, Vizati in the first IndieGala bundle, Fruit Blitz for Android in the second IndiGala bundle, as well as the original Postal game for MacOS, Linux and Windows, also in the second IndieGala bundle.
Similarly to Humble Bundle, buyers can set the revenue split between the developers, charities and organizers.
A peculiarity of the IndieGala bundles, which distinguishes it from other similar sites, is to give to music albums almost the same prominence as that given to the games. IndieGala was the first to include music with an indie game bundle.
IndieGala also launched an initiative called GalaFund that aims to support independent game development.[5][6]
In 2013 IndieGala started focusing on publishing and independently developing video games. The first published and co-developed video game was Blockstorm, which was released in 2014 in early access.[7].
IndieGala has since grown to include a dedicated storefront, the IndieGala Store.
