I was sorry to read about the fallout between the Desura team and the Humble Bundle guys :( I do understand the reasoning by Desura because they were hosting the downloads and getting none of the money. In fact I suspect the 2GB game Shank in HIB 4 was the prime reason that Desura decided to stop hosting the bundles. But I think they may have now shot themselves in the foot by not thinking of marketshare. I had bought every Humble Bundle and was starting to enjoy having my game library in Desura and was considering purchasing additional games through Desura. But now because of the fallout the HIB games are distributed through the Ubuntu software centre instead, and when Valve finally brings Steam to Linux, every single Humble Bundle game will be available on Steam too. So Desura is going to lose a lot of relevancy for users like me.
