As an indie bundles consumer, often I ask myself if the price paid is fair enough for a bundle. Normally, I just beat the average to unlock all the games or extras. I don't know why but I have less respect in some bundle so I don't feel sorry for paying the minimum which is 1$ most of the time. (indie gala and indie facekick). Humble bundle and indie royale + groupee's bundles are my favorite so normally the price paid in my opinion is fair for them. 5-6 $ is the perfect price for me, no matter how much game (3-8) in it. Much respect to bundle in a box too but I paid the 1$... :(

All of those bundles must represent 20-40$/month and I'll never have the time to play all these games!

How much do you truly spend for a bundle?

Humble Bundle - whatever I can afford, which is well above the Linux average each bundle, due to the Linux support (though probably not in future, I'm a bit pissed at the lack of Desura)
Indie Royale - bare minimum until they include some Linux games again, at which point whatever I can afford relative to the number of Linux games included
Indie Gala - minimum to get all games on happy hour, I don't value their games much
BeMine - minimum for the beat the average, I'll pay more when they start including Linux games (which they are going to do)
Bundle-In-A-Box - minimum for the beat the average, it had good games, though no Linux support

It's pretty obvious how I value bundles. :lol:

For me it depends on the bundle, if it's a bunch of stuff I've never heard of I'll never pay more than 5, if it's stuff I'm interested in I'll pay up to 10, but 19.99 like steam bundles is sometimes a bit too much depending on size.

yea 20 bucks (even though i have paid this much recently) is far too much and still call yourself an 'indie bundle'
