I don't like any of those games, but it apparently a lot of people in this thread do, so it's awesome for them.
Hm? I shouldn't comment because my opinion differs from your own? That's not really how forums work. I shared my opinion--that I don't want it but am glad for those here that love it--just as you shared yours. Why you've a problem with that, I'm not quite sure.Necabo said:Don't reply here then.Clearing the Eye said:
This is great, love bastion and LIMBO and getting those for so little money is something my student-starved wallet is very happy with
Maybe using the Steam trading system? I know you can trade games to other people for other games and in-game items, so you could just trade it for nothing. I'm not sure the details, but you can only trade games in this fashion if you haven't played them.ThaBenMan said:
Maybe look into that route.
Ah screw it. I don't want the games, but it's for a cool charity that makes a lot of people a little bit happier. I'm sure the soundtracks are cool enough.
Hopefully others who don't want the games will think about giving a little money anyway <3

It's such a good bundle this time. It's a shame I already own most of those games.
Anyone who doesn't own already Bastion, Amnesia or freaking Psychonauts? Go buy this bundle right now. You won't regret it. Hell, I'm strongly considering buying the bundle just for the charity aspect of it and giving the duplicate games I end up with to friends.

I but this I mean I already but I didn't and so even no really wait for me too ah
Well, this or Kiff's moanings is all I'm able to say right now as I'm downloading more games wondering what I did to deserve this.
No, really, I'm gonna wake up and still think it was worth it just as an awesome dream.

That Lone Survivor looks pretty neat, will give that a go for sure.
What startles me, is how often these guys can include old games, and ignore every other indi game out there - as if there's only so many indi games, newsflash.... there's fricken thousands of games out there.
What about Spelunky for instance, I'm sure the dev deserves, and would appreciate a little bit of cash - even though the game is free, it's about exposure, and charity, and showing appreciation for people who make great stuff like that for free. I don't need another Braid or Meat Boy, and those developers don't need any more of my bloody money! - I'd rather my money went to encourage new developers and new projects.
Actually, I'd really like to see a Humble Bundle just feature indi games that nobody has heard of, or make it a competition! - have dev's make a Humble game, and the top 5 go into a bundle. Anything would be better than lining the pockets of the same indi devs everytime, devs who already made a fortune through XBL, Steam, and have already featured in bundles.

While I agree that having all the games be well known and successful kinda defeats the point, the worry would be that you'd lose a lot of the business they generate. Someone in this thread has already said, not buying, don't even know that game. I think the genius comes in the mixing of the twosurg3n said:
You could simply give all your money to charity if you didn't want any to go the developers. They need games that are well known enough to bring in sales. If you read this very thread, the vast majority of people are saying how excited they are to be getting these particular games. If the bundle had more obscure titles, such fervor is unlikely.surg3n said:
It's ultimately about getting as much money as possible to charity--the devs know this.
I bought this before the extra games were added and already owned 2 of them with the others on my 'must buy/play.. some time' list, but I was probably going to wait for them to go on sale before splashing the cash. Now I feel like I've just been given 3 free games!
Funny thing though is that if you divide the money I spent on the bundle between the 6 'new' games I'm getting, I've ended up spending more on each than I would've otherwise been willing to pay separately. Yay charity!

I agree with this. It's an awesome bundle of games, there's no question about that, but they really should have included a handful of new lesser known titles. If nothing else, it would offer exposure to the up and comers, and would potentially prime the pump for the next bundle.surg3n said:
Kick ass dude, was tempted to buy Lone Survivor a few days ago when I got Humble Bundle V but dot something else instead. So glad I did not as now it is part of the Bundle.
