What makes you think that when it goes off-sale people won't just pick the hundreds of keys they farmed for 5 dollars and just give most of them away?

1 gifted copy = 1 purchased copy. I don't understand how that doesn't support the developers.
I understand not wanting to flood the site, but equating purchasing a copy to give away with cheating the developers is a bit of a stretch...
I just paid $3.88 for the whole bundle, did I cheat them by paying the price they asked me to pay?

I don't think you realize that a lot of disgusting people pay 1 dollar for a hundred keys (1 cent each). So the website gets flooded by shady trout with hundreds of keys and etc.
Now the frozenbyte bundle restriction doesn't make much sense in my opinion. Maybe it's to incentivate people to buy it instead of being shits and begging for a really cheap game bundle.

That's not 100 bucks to the developers. It costs them roughly 30 cents a transaction, so they're actually losing money when people pay under a dollar. Factor in that you can't get bunches of keys at once, that's 100 transactions for one penny, where they get charged 30 cents each.

This is the reason why they started adding captcha for people that paid less than a dollar (I think). Hopefully, that'll make up for the money they lose when people pay 1c

it's not supporting the developers if you only pay 1 cent for the pack. the humble team has to pay for each transaction (something between 0.40 and 0.70), so they lose money for each of those.

okay, so whats stoping someone from just waiting 2 weeks to flood the site with 5 copies of frozen synapse at a time per week?
Really, with the HiB, HiB'2s and HiB'3 already on steamgifts, how do you verify those were bought with 'proper" amounts of money?

And we have the first person circumventing it by choosing Frozen Synapse as Game:

Bought Frozen Synapse about a week after it was released. Unbelievably good game, easily worth it's original price.

Cult, I want to buy a few extra copies to gift here at a later date. For a few reasons...
This game doesn't look like my kind of game, but I played it at a friends house and it was kickass, I want to share that...
It will get my feedback score up higher here on the site, which is never a bad thing.
It will allow people a month or two down the road who missed the bundle to get the game.
Can you just confirm that this is ok to do, and how many points will it be? Or are you just going to have people put up Frozen Synapse? Or a special Humble Frozen Synapse? Thanks!!

"So, no ..., Frozenbyte Bundle submissions, Frozenbyte Collection submissions, etc.
It's always been the policy to support developers, and we feel that people buying them cheap to submit cheats the developers."
Disregarding the Frozen Synapse Bundle, the Frozenbyte Bundle on is only available if you pay higher then the average so anybody getting them isn't buying the Frozen Synapse Bundle for as cheap as possible. Just throwing that out there.

That may be true right now, but people who purchased within the first few hours, were able to obtain the Bundle for a penny. I didn't see them add the minimum amount until afterwards, but right out of the gates the entire was able to be had for a cent.

Well, you will be gone from the website, which is just good for the rest of us. I don't care about your life, although you are probably sitting in your basement, eating doritos all day, still believing that inverted color looks cool in profile pictures.
When was the last time you saw the sunlight? Or touched a beautiful woman? I guess both never happened though so you don't have to answer.

I DJ. I don't try to scare anyone, and I certainly don't like babysitting. There does need to be structure here though, as the community grows rapidly and people don't seem to want to read the site rules.
I don't think you read what I said, I meant toe-to-toe with me in Frozen Synapse. Because the game is awesome.
I'm not a teenager that's like RWAWAWAWW THREATS, I WANNA BE COOL.

I'm sorry, but this ban makes no sense. The amount of money they'll earn and the amount of bundles sold won't change.
---If there was no ban:
-People buy a lot of bundles for 1 cent to giveaway.
-Only the ones that can't buy it (because they don't have a credit card) enter giveaways.
-Generous people don't care about the giveaways and buy a bundle for 10 bucks.
-Greedy people buy the bundle for 1 cent, since it makes more sense to spend 1 cent than 300+ points before you win.
---If there is a ban:
-People buy a lot of bundles for 1 cent to giveaway in the future.
-People who can't buy the bundle are desperately waiting for the giveaways to start.
-Generous people don't care and buy the bundle for 10 bucks.
-Greedy people buy the bundle for 1 cent.
The only thing this ban does is cost the guys at HumbleBundleIndustriesOrWhatever extra $1.50 because of 5 greedy people that would rather spend 1000 points on giveaways, but are now forced to buy it for 1 cent. (on the other hand they'd probably rather wait a month :P)

So, no Frozen Synapse submissions, Frozenbyte Bundle submissions, Frozenbyte Collection submissions, etc.
It's always been the policy to support developers, and we feel that people buying them cheap to submit cheats the developers.
Pay the developers, Frozen Synapse is a brilliant game.
I'll trounce anyone that wants to go digital-toe-to-toe with me in Dark Secure.
Just saying.
Thanks for your understanding.
