Humble Indie Bundle 2: This Time, It's Charitable

Go To

In May, a group of indie developers got together and bundled five of their games together, for customers to buy at the low, low price of "whatever they feel like paying." One cent, a hundred dollars, whatever. To make a long story short, it was a gigantic success and now they're doing it again.

The games are:

Since 'tis the season and all, this time sales will be divided between the games' worthy developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Child's Play charity. Go nuts!

You lie. It has to be at least 1 dollar. *slap*

Just kidding. (But seriously, though, it does) This looks nice, I'll have to snag this.

EDIT: not actually sure, but it does let you know you're being a tight wad by putting less than a dollar

I put five dollars toward it, because that's all I could give (mortgage payment has to be paid, after all). I split the money between Child's Play and EFF.

Cortex Command is a cool idea, but it's far from a finished game. Kinda glad I grabbed it on the cheap.

Ooooh! I want! With saving up for the Holiday sale, and Christmas shopping, it may be more difficult for me to spend as much as I had the first one, though.

"Please note, Cortex Command is still under active development. Revenge of the Titans has just launched and Puppy Games plans to keep improving it. You are eligible for all future updates! The bundle makes a great holiday gift that will keep improving over time." ^Well thats nice.

Congratulations! you got me to post. I lurk all the time so this is rare.

^^Works fine for me.

^Indeed. Wonder how that works out considering the lack of autoupdate mechanisms.

The Linux versions are not stellar, but hey, what else is new.

Lets sit back and see once again as the PC community proves all of their arguments against DRM are lies and that piracy will go after anyone without it, no matter what.

Don't be so haughty.

Anyway, they've already made half a million dollars.

Grabbed the pack for ten bucks. Honestly, i never planned on actually playing any of these games but i'm having plenty of fun with Revenge of the titans already. Getting eaten a lot, but hey.

Feels so good to do good while getting good deals. Also it's neat to watch the "total revenue" bar tick up constantly.

You are not alone.

Wow, ID. There are at least 4 cases of facepalm-worthy troll bullshit hidden in that sentence - 5 if I consider trying to incite this kind of crap in a thread that is about a charity event. You really should consult a patent lawyer, this degree of high-grade compression could be marketed to PR drones anywhere.

Anyway, I spent 15 bucks, shared among the charities. I don't really care about the games this time around.

._. So uh, how does this thing work?

I'm not exactly sure ^^;

Anyway, it makes me not want to do it, since I would feel guilty for getting games for cheap without giving enough money for the charity nor the developers.. ^^;

Ana Since: Jan, 2001

And giving no money at all will make you feel better? Don't quite follow that logic.

You fill out the purchase form at the bottom of the page, choosing your own price. You are sent links to download each of the five games, DRM-free.

^^Well, true, but still, makes me feel like a cheap skate -_-;

^I mean, there is paying thing at bottom.. It has paypal, google and amazon thing? How I do just pay? And can I pay in Euros?(well, I guess if I pay, it just.. Well you know)

Also, when does this charity end?

You'll need to use electronic money; I paid with my debit card, for example. And as you can see from the counter in the upper right, it's over in about five days.

That would only mean anything if piracy wasn't rampant for games that use DRM. DRM is something that only affects legitimate users, dear.
