Bought because its actually for a good charity. I really dont like the "normal" charities on humble bundle. EFF and Childs Play... heh, I would rather give some money to people who really need it than money to buy games for kids on countries with already top notch healthcare.

I normally do that with the regular humble bundle charities.

He does not receive a single cent from it, so its fine. Go ahead, and while you are at it, put everything to the charity :)

pwedepie not win anything because everything is going to charity? deluded, clear that WINS, gains popularity... thing to see a few comments here to know that some didn't know who he was and if they know who is it now...

Honestly you would have to be a huge cunt to boycott this bundle just because you hate pewdiepie. Also, it's ironic that people looked past their "hate" for EA just because of "amagad Battlefield 3 for 5$!!111one" but can't look past their "hate" for pewdiepie for a good cause.

EA is giving away games, and they won't earn any money (directly) from people buying this bundle. They are giving it all to charity. That is good PR, and gives me a reason to remove my hate of EA. Yeah, I hate PewDiePie. I hate that he is picking the weekly bundle. It did sway my opinion, but at the end of the day, I didn't want any of the indies, so I didn't.

And how is pewdiepie making ANY money from this? It's a good charity so who gives a hell who is picking the games? At the end of the day they are good games and you buy them for a good cause, no one's forcing you to subscribe to his channel or even look up who he is.
On the other hand people had no problem helping EA who, if you look at most of the comments everywhere about EA, is the devil, gain good publicity with their bundle which has nothing to do with indie games. But like i said "amagad BF3 for 5$ must buy!!111"

Why would what i said bring more viewers to his channel? If you buy the bundle it's not forcing you to go watch his videos and most people hate him to begin with apparently so i don't see where this massive benefit for him is. Because that's how the haters in the couple of threads, that popped up to discuss this bundle, are making it sound, like there's some massive benefit for him that outweighs the good this charity might do. If you actually bother to read the hate stuff it almost sounds like people are convinced the money is going to him and not the charity.

Because he's not also doing it for PR, right?
I mean, it's a nice thing to do but you might aswell donate the same amount to charity than create a bundle of 'handpicked' games already bundled before and call it your own. He does have spare money to give away.

So what, point remains that it benefits charity, take the good with the bad.

Ugh. At least it's for a good cause (although it seems like his fans don't really care all that much about actually paying up).
Kind of funny seeing the indie titles pushed to the weekly sale with the big AAA publisher deal in the front. But it's all for charity so I'm not complaining.

Totally agree. Got no idea why people are so aggressive to each other. Especially if it's just about a guy who provides free entertainment for his viewers and whose sense of humor is different from your own. People will fight over everything as if they don't even need a reason for it. That's very sad.

What he does, actually? Playing games? Has a youtube channel where he uploads his videos? Basically the same thing hundreds of other LP'ers around the world do? That's a malicious and harmful doing indeed, he is clearly a bad person! -_-
P.S. The internet may have "a bad rep" because there's a ton of people who like to hate something or someone for no particular reason, not because some guy plays the games and people are enjoying watching it. There's no reason to hate one another.

I'm not boycotting the bundle, but that annoying brat on the bundle page really turned me off of the whole thing. It's hard to think positively about considering buying the thing. That said, I'm skipping anyway because the only ones I don't have are McPixel (because it's awful) and the Showdown Effect (which probably has a dead multiplayer community due to not being very well-liked.)

I actually don't know what the big deal is. I don't like many youtube personalities, whether it be TB or PewDiePie, but I think HB whoring out like this and using him to brand this week's weekly sale is a actually a good thing (or at least the pros outweigh the cons). In the end, more gamers who may not know about some of these lesser known titles will get to experience (and hopefully enjoy) some of these gems like Thomas Was Alone and Botanicula. One can hope that this will encourage some gamers to start checking out indie games on their own, having found and enjoyed these.
Now, I think there is a problem when a large percentage of gamers only become aware of games and formulate opinions on said games at the whim of some YT personality, but that is a much larger problem :p

i don't believe that HIB is whoring out, but most likely the devs who agreed on a bundle like this. But yeah just like you said nothing wrong with that, because of those games he became famous and he is now paying them back, good for him. Also he makes those games more accessible to his fans and everyone else + he is helping charity. People don't like his videos because they are probably targeted to teenagers but what this has to do with the bundle?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don´t like PewDiePie, but the games are good. I recommend the bundle only for Botaniculas and Thomas was alone.

Amnesia you frakkin fool... is the best game in the bundle. sigh

I almost decided to pass on this for being branded with that retard! But after reading here I decided to just give everything to charity and let humble bleed for choosing one of the most annoying people on this planet as the face of this bundle.

I'd be more willing to buy an actual EA game from the Origin Store, than to buy anything with the name Pewdiepie in it... Ugh I hate that guy.

there is a trend of idiots who wont buy this bundle because of the annoying kid on youtube.

Thanks for calling me an idiot for not wanting to have anything to do with that guy spewing profanity and cries of "rape this, rape that" on the internet...

Your level of reasoning uses too many logical fallacies to even be funny as a sarcastic remark. Play again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you actually read what the charity that' supported is? Did you? I don't care if the charity is a good cause, when some guy spewing his rapejokes does it. There are enough charities for water that I can donate to. So yeah, my loss, I guess O_o

If you really want to not get what I'm saying, I can't help you. You seem pretty determined to call me insane. Congratulations you win, I'm tired of having to convince you, that my reasoning isn't insane, when you already made up your mind and went into brickwall-mode. So yeah, whatever.
