The Humble Indie Bundle is Back
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
You can say what you want about the low prices some people choose to give, but for myself, I have never heard of these games and have virtually no interest in them save for the price factor, so would it be better I give nothing at all to a charity or developers, or at least give them something?
I got the first bundle, and played 2 of the games maybe twice, and gave them $2. For the amount of time I spent with their product, they got a fair shake.

Well look on the bright side.mariofan1000 said:

.I'll probably go a dollar over the average, cause I'm balling.
As I said elsewhere, I'd rather 2 dollars from 1000 people than 20 dollars from 10.
I haven't even started playing the games from the previous one! Wait... no, Braid was one of them, and I played it. I can't even remember the games I'm not playing.
At any rate I planned to buy a lot of stuff this week anyway because the dollar is so low and the economic crisis means by next week the US will become a blasted wasteland with very poor mail service, so I'm trying to get as much swag out of there as is financially viable.

I think I bumped up the Windows average a little bit, plus I send some more love to Child's Play.
EDIT:Too many users. It seems that going about 100x average isn't enough for a bump.

Not to be rude, but I think that anything under $1, and they lose money, because they have to pay for the bandwidth, and the charges to process each purchase. Still, it's the thought that counts!Alphakirby said:
Not being rude or mean or anything, I'm just saying. You gave what you could, and that's what counts. Enjoy the games!
As a Linux User who always donates well above the Linux average, the reason why is merely respect.
They are willing to go out of their way to support us as a userbase, I am willing to support them as developers. Linux users always rally behind this sort of thing, it's just one of those things we do.
It's not even that I don't have other games to buy, I tend to run ANY windows game well using WINE, I use Steam with WINE and play several dozen different Windows-only games with it.

As did I because I pretty much use Steam to streamline my gaming so I don't have 35 different platforms to play 10 games on,sadly Starcraft 2 is not Steam supported and it takes up too much space.kyosai7 said:
There is another thing that using Steam helps with, running one of the games.qwerty19411 said:
I didn't see the Steam code thing at first, so I downloaded the game straight from the page. After I installed them, only VVVVV and Hammer Fight worked. Crayon Physics just popped up a white screen and the music from the game. Cogs runs at a snails pace, taking about ever mouse click about 7 to 10 seconds to complete(this is with it set on the lost setting), and the music skips three times, goes smooth for a second or two, and repeats. And Yet I Moves, doesn't even move at all, I started it up, a window pops up and then it crashes and closes.
Now, when I used the Steam code, Crayon Physics works fine, but Cogs, And Yet It Moves still act as I explained.
I just don't understand it, my computer is only a couple years old and from what I saw from the video, those two games really aren't that amazing in the department of graphics, or processing for that matter.
The only thing that could possibly be the problem is that my computer didn't come with amazing graphics capability, but everything else is what I would consider tip top. Maybe my computer has something against those two games, because there is no reason why it shouldn't be able to run them without problems.
So I guess I would give a warning to people that haven't purchased yet, if your computer is middle of the line or lower, it will probably only play two maybe three of the games if you are lucky.
Though I guess it could just be looked as donating without a need to get anything out of it.
