The Humble Indie Bundle

[Dionysos]

Thought this might interest a few, and I think at least everyone should be made aware of the project (which has become a pretty big success). It's pay-what-you-want, DRM-free and multiplatform. So to say perfect for all the ideological pirates out there (They've already made $627,483). Games in the bundle are World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra Overture and Samorost2.

Their info:

The Humble Indie Bundle is a unique kind of bundle that we are trying out.

Pay what you want. If you bought these five games separately, it would cost around $80 but we're letting you set the price!

All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux. We didn't want to leave anyone out.

There is no middle-man. You can rest assured that 100% of your purchase goes directly to the developers and non-profits as you specify (minus credit card fees).

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.

Your contribution supports the amazing Child's Play charity and Electronic Frontier Foundation. By default, the amount is split equally between the seven participants (including Child's Play and EFF), but you can tweak the split any way you'd like.

And now, thanks to a humble donation from Amanita Design: all contributors are given a free copy of Samorost 2!

Did it give you the games though?

Also, you shouldn't be such a scrooge...

[Dionysos]

xD That's extreme.

Though considering, they still made 50 cents more than if it hadnt been for the bundle It's great being able to run a "new" fps on my linux again, and World of Goo is incredibly cute/fun. You don't really get it until you try it.

Wow World of Goo's in there? That game alone is worth like $20 in my opinion.

But this is a great charity idea though. It's like donating money to foundations and getting games in return.

Yay, a steamfriend of mine made a competition on a german website wher he would give away 5 keys.

Only 1 guy participated and I was one of the other four to get a key

World of Goo is cool! Nice game and I like the idea of this charitything! Rock on, Indies!
