Question of the Day, December 16, 2010



Yesterday we learned that the second pay-what-you-want Humble Indie Bundle had earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in one day [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/106160-Notch-Helps-Humble-Indie-Bundle-2-Earn-500-000-in-One-Day]. Will you buy it, too?

Just bought it. The only game that interested me was Revenge of the Titans though...

 

[Patton662]

I'm not much of an indie gamer, also I'm skint.

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

I'm not really interested for it at all.
Plus i'm saving up for some future purchases...

 

[LTK_70]

Even though it's for a good cause, I'm not interested in the games.

 

[DanielBrown]

Never cared much for indie games.
Won't buy it, didn't know what it was before this thread.

 

[Proteus214]

I'll buy it as soon as I can put down WoW for 10 seconds.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Not this time. Last time, Aquaria really interested me.

This time, nothing I want, really.

 

[ajemas]

I'm getting it. I really do want to support the indie developers, as I feel that there is a lot of good talent that is going to waste. I'm not saying that indie stuff is better by default, but that many people with good ideas are left out in the cold because they don't have the right connections. They're certainly getting a good amount of money from me.

You don't even have one dollar? O_O

 

[DTWolfwood]

i've tried a bunch of indie games from friends who've bought them...the problem is none of them made me want to replay them. Its fun while playing, but afterward you just forget about them. So can't say i plan on buy any indie game bundles

What fucking tears me up is that ALL you hear from ignorant non-gamers nowadays is how morally bankrupt, deviant and harmful gaming culture is.

Yet, it's pretty clear how charitable gamers can be.

Try Super Meat Boy.

As for HIB2 - there's at least one worthy game.

I'm a student and am currently £320 into my overdraft so no I don't even have one pound.

Yet, it's pretty clear how charitable gamers can be.

By the end of next year, The Child's Play Charity will have earned in excess of $10,000,000. Those sorts of figures should shut almost any naysayer up.

It won't, though.

Ignorant morons are hate mongering. They always will be.

I already have Braid and Machinarium and the other games don't interest me; I still have too much to play through from previous sales. I haven't even touched Gish from the first bundle, for example.

yeh games with punishing difficulty are even farther from my list than just mindless fun indie games. Don't have the time or patience anymore to be frustrated at every turn. <.<

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Probably not. None of the games really interest me, and I have enough games in the "list of stuff I haven't touched yet" to still get to... Need to try and knock a few out before Steam's Christmas Sale again...
