Hello there! Don't mind me, I am just your typical friendly insane person, who you may or may not enjoy being around. I am a Web Developer [still learning along the way], I have a passion for Indie games and Linux, and if capable, am willing to try out most anything have I the time to do so.

Report RSS The Humble Indie Bundle Gets a Second Go 'Round!

Now if you are familiar with the first and lament not having gotten it when it came out many many months ago, redemption is upon you! Or something. Anyways, it appears that Wolfire Games is at it again, with another bundle of indie games to come!

The original idea behind the pack of games was the premise of paying what you want for all the games. Even as little as a penny was acceptable, even though people still shared it with others and got it for free (cheapskates in my opinion). Anyways, the money was divided up by consumer's choice, going to the developer or one of two charities: the Electronic Frontier Foundation or Child's Play.

Through the amazing collective effort of the bundle, over $1,000,000 was contributed, with about 30% going directly to the two charities. Four of the five games included (World of Goo is the exception) were also released as open-source (don't confuse this to mean free, they still cost money)! There was even an extra game added to all who purchased this, Samarost 2 from Amanita Design.

If one goes to the humble bundle site, they'll simply find a box to be notified of a subscription. I suggest you should take a look at the new bundle when it's revealed! the next bundle of games! Get em while you can!
