Buyer sets price and distribution.

Child's Play is a very worth while charity, so I gave it all to them.

From the site:

We don't use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely.

Paid $5 for the pack. Already had World of Goo.

Yeah, already paid for World of Goo once too. I put $12.00 in to go to Child's Play for the others. Have no idea if I'll even like them, but I'll try each. Regardless, Child's Play is worthwhile so money well spent.

I'm low on cash, but thinking of throwing them $5 or 10. It's better than nothing, I guess.

THEN I'll convince all of my friends with decent PCs to do the same or better. So, it should even out in the end. :)

That's hella fked up :/

I can only hope that they are downloading first, giving each game a trial, and then paying what they think is worth after wards.



Some people aren't even bothering to pay- just downloading straight from the site. Sort of fail on their part I suppose.

Gave $5. Which one should I try first? I've already tried world of goo, and didn't get into it. I figure I might as well torrent them to save them bandwidth.

Aquaria and Penumbra are nice. Gish is pretty lame.

I have no clue wtf Lugaru is.

Samorost 2 has been added to the bundle now and anyone who has already purchased it should be getting an e-mail with a link that allows you to download that game as well.

Would like this more if we could get it though Steam but I guess that would be asking to much. If we could buy this bundle through Steam it would be pretty hard for the developers to make any Steam sales.

Neither did I, but it's pretty sick. Combat game with anthropomorphic bunnies.

They're working on a sequel as well, with very nice graphics and physics, and really amazing tools for creating your own stuff (and ONLINE play!!!). You can preorder now, and you'll get access to weekly builds of the current stuff.

Also, for those of you who liked Penumbra, Frictional Games is offering the entire Penumbra collection for $5 to those who donated to the Humble Indie Bundle. There's a coupon code that comes up during installation of penumbra from the bundle.
