Remember when Bundles were something cool and new?

I actually think that HiB still stays fresh, that one gets on the safezone.

I wish I shared your enthusiasm about Humble, but for me it's more like a collective of kind-of or mostly known indies that are acclaimed critically and/or loved by the public. There's nothing wrong with that, and still every Humble is an insta-buy for me (bought the Music bundle too even though I'll never listen to it), but there's something wonderful in getting a pack of games you know next to nothing about, try out, and be amazed. This is why I'm also insta-buying the Royales these days; they're the only ones that bring quality and so much fun games, and I usually only know 1 game from each bundle. It's a blind deal, but it always has been a winning deal for me so far. And there's still a lot that I haven't even tried from them...

In any case, ever since they introduced me to the Blackwell trilogy, they have my unending trust. They have to fuck up really bad to lose it.

I don't.

Same ^_^

me too. I buy roughly 75% of them, I think. I left some Indieroyales and Indiegalas out since I'm infected by the bundle-virus but more or less because I had more than 2 games from the bundle!

The games maybe?

I mean...i dont know how you guys buy the indie royals :S

These games are sucks (In my opinion) i dont see me playing those games..

trendy =P

buying indie games and supporting the artists who make them is like one of the most hipster things ever

lol. go support kitties then.

yeah, Humble Bundle still rocks, and indie Royale and Be-Mine realease some good bundle for each 2, or 3 'meh' ones...

Pretty much same here.

Agree.

Indie Royale tends to throw some gems as well, but I agree with you.

Nah...you should take a look at the Bemine 2 bundle...I wish there were more bundles like this one

YES.

30 cents is better than zero when you pirate their games :P

Because in many cases the added incentive of a low price, of charity or of giving the money directly to developers is what makes people cross the threshold of buying. The HIB makes tons of money for developers, probably more than they would otherwise get. Other bundles, I'm not so sure, but they still make an effective promotion.

I don't really bother thinking about it. The developers have agreed to have them put into the bundles, so they accept that they won't recieve as much money as if people buy their games seperately. I always beat the average anyway, so it's not as if I'm a cheapskate(Well, with Android bundles I often don't bother beating the average, but that's because I don't an Android phone). Buying bundles is legal, unlike piracy which is illegal.

That was one of the original ideas for the thread, but never happened.
