deanb Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 http://www.humblebundle.com/ The second Humble Indie Bundle is up. As with last time you pay what you want, and then divide the cash either all to developers, all to charity, or split in the middle. As with last time they've probably also made it stupidly simple to pirate and they'll then whine that folks just clicked a link that lead right to the download. edit: Oh wait this time it let's you customize the divide, including how much of the charity stuff goes to EFF and how much to Childs Play.

deanb Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Aha! This time it's a unique link they give you. So they can easily track if you're sharing. So yeah, I just grabbed it. Made it 50:50 between the developers and Childs Play (EFF sounded a bit less like a charity that I'd want to contribute to) Anyone else?

LaunchOctopus Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Just got it too, went pretty much 50:50 like you dean, but added a tiny humble tip, same with the EFF, I guess Child's Play is more recognisable! Don't think they've offered steam activation with this one yet? Which is a shame cos I think I'll put more time into the 1st games now I can have them in my library, hope it comes eventually.

deanb Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 It's not that Childs Play is more recognisable. It's just that the EFF don't see much like a charity than...well I dunno a lobbying group. Childs Play actually helps folks out.

Mister Jack Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think EFF IS a charity but there's a similar sounding group that's more of a lobby group. The name escapes me at the moment. Basically, they're both the same people, more or less, but the foundation's money is specifically for charity purposes.

Chronixal Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hmm, I think I'll donate to Child's Play direct. I already own Braid and none of the rest interest me. Good deal for those interested though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidCrownie Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I already own three of those. Lol. Won't pass up opportunity to give to CHILD'S Play though. Edit: Whoa. Funky auto-correct there, iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 People are still going to pirate it in droves of course. Pirating a commercial game is already kind of douchey, but stealing from charity? How can pirates possibly defend that? That's just being a thief, plain and simple.

deanb Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Nah as I said it's a unique URL, so sharing a single link where everyone could download from will be a lot harder this time. Cortex Command is 16-bit btw. So won't work on new fancy 64-bit OSes. I've messaged them for a way around it but...oh I closed mail client ...hmm. Nope no reply.

Mudkip3DS Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Wait, only 16-bit? What was THAT dev thinking when he coded that? Is this game from 1994 on DOS or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 http://www.humblebundle.com/ Notch is the highest paying individual at the moment with $2000 paid. Some shitty mac developer has put in $1000 for an advert along with another two sites. Robert Bowling (Infinity Ward dou..dude) has put in $500, he was at one point the highest until RockPaperShotgun trumped him As for Cortex Command, I don't know. I've had a reply but it says it should work fine, so I'm gonna reply back, they wanted to know what system I'm on. edit: Seems the problem was on my end. Seems out of all my games Revenge of Titans was the only one that downloaded correctly. Machinirium wasn't the only one that fucked up.

AcidCrownie Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I find the difference in purchase price between platforms to be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Well those Linux guys don't have any other games to spend their cash on so they can be quite forgiving Those Mac guys are always over paying too. Prices are therefore as expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev_Revenge Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I grabbed this for $10, didn't have a pc copy of Braid and didn't have any of the other games. Hopefully they come with some steam keys down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simas Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I bought 2 gift copies for 5 each. Will get 2 more copies, one for myself and the last gift. Have high hopes for the TD game. Never heard of it before, but seems quite enjoyable. But with so many Steam sales, hard to make time to get around all the games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 seems a bit bum compared to previous bundles - they'll have to milk the charity angle more than the bargain angle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yeah it's just the games from Frozenbyte. Seems more of an advertising run that much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Wouldn't it be humble indie bundle 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It would be if this thread wasn't from when it was Humble Indie Bundle 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicariousShaner Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 For at least a dollar, most everything is a bargain. I plan to double the amount, 2 dollars, for this bundle. I plan to double it for every time one comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 There's a new one out: http://www.humblebundle.com/ Crayon Physics Deluxe VVVVVV Cogs And Yet it Moves Hammerfight As usual pay what you want, to who you want, how you want for whatever platform you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Got mine. Not sure if I'll download them on my Windows install or my Linux install. I assume you can do both, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
