Notch Helps Humble Indie Bundle #2 Earn $500,000 in One Day

I wish we had the figures on how many people pay a buck or less for this bundle. A list of addresses would also be nice.

Man, why does it always come back to the Jay & Silent Bob smackdowns with me on these things?

Why, so those of us with not much money would be forced to hide from the bundle and not give anything to it? Not even a dollar? Say goodbye to a ton of your contributions then.

On a side note, I don't think indie game companies are the most in need of my charity in any case.

In post 19, I took back what I said about creating a dollar "threshold." If that's all one can afford, then so be it. It's the bundle's risk for offering their games at such low prices.

Honestly I'm not buying the "People pirated the bundle" thing.

I'm sure some did but those statistics also do not include people whom wanted to install the bundle they paid for on multipul PC's they own.

I myself installed the first bundle on 3 of my PC's and by those statistics I would have been counted amongst the alleged Pirates.

That may be true. And there's also the case of people combining their resources, making one donation and then sharing the download link between them. However, when either of those things happens and they're using the bundle's bandwidth, that costs money, essentially cutting into the donations that were made.

The 25% figure also doesn't count people who used resources such as BitTorrent.

Notch is the fucking man. We need more people like him out there.

I'll try to buy this, when I can.

More importantly, when is it coming out on Steam? I want all my games in a neat list!

But... yah. Everyone go and buy it. Indie developers are awesome.

You can add non-Steam games to your list... I've done that.
OT: Notch is awesome, if I had any method of buying this bundle, I totally would be.

Here's where I heard about it. Nice preview of the five games.

It's not the same! I want integrated Steam achievements, a flag on my profile that says I've bought it, and the option to download it wherever I want! WAAAH!

I gave what I could. (10.00) I wish I could pay what the top guy did. (2000.00)

Major lols: Anonymous donated "leet" dollars!

And the tenth highest donator is fourzerotwo of Infinity Ward, the call of Duty guys.

Edit: According to my spell-check 'donator' is not a word....to the dictionary away!

Edit, the second: Oh gosh, I meant donor, I feel like an idiot.
