I'd like to know how much do people usually pay for bundled games.

Do you pay minimum $1, do you go for at least average or are you generous and pay more than average (how much)?

I personally bought only 2 bundles in my life, one was Humble Indie Bundle 6 and I went for BTA. The other one was recent Darksiders and Red Faction bundle for which I paid only $1 because I didn't have much money on my credit card at that time.

I felt bad and cheap for doing that and I probably won't be doing it again. I think people should pay more if they can afford it, developers that allow their games to be sold for so little deserve support (as opposed to most AAA developers nowadays).

What are your thoughts?

I always go for average or up to a dollar more.

mostly the average + a few bucks (last bundle i bought was BTA 6.70$ and i think i paid 10$) but the bonus mostly depends on the games

I don't see why some people in this thread here think you are a cheap bastard if you only pay the minimum for bundle games. They make an offer and I decide whether I make use of it or not. It's not like I pirate games if I pay the minimum. They still make money with it, it's digital distribution after all. If I don't pay one dollar they have one dollar less (minus paypal fee, which is maybe 0.25§) and nothing gained. If they don't want me to pay 1$ then they shouldn't make that offer. Simple as that. Do you people have the same problem when buying games at sale prices on Steam? 'Oh no, it's 75% off, I can't do this, the developer deserves more!'? You have to be extremely rich if you constantly pay the maximum price possible for anything you like only because it's a good product.

That said, charity and supporting (good) developers is of course a great thing. But unless you have unlimited money you have to choose which charities you support and generally what you buy and at which price you buy it (generally, not only computer game/bundle related). To cut a long story short, I pay minimum if I only want the minimum games and bta if I want the bta games. But not more.

I usually just beat the average, but my husband paid $10 for one once to support the charity.

I spend $10 for pay-what-you want bundles to support that pricing method.
For things that require a minimum (not min/above-average but things like those $5 bundles), I'll generally pay that.

I buy all the bundles (basically) until recent. Now have most games. Did BTA before, now depends.

I pay whatever I can spare at the time, at least the average amount.

Our family likes to pay based on where the money is going. If the money is going to charity, we pay at least above the average. How much that is depends on our current finances. If it is not for charity, we will pay the smallest amount allowed.

that's pretty much how i see it. i would want to donate to eff anyway, and if humble bundle wants to give me some games to do it then i certainly appreciate it :)

For Humble Bundles, always $10 to $15 depending on what I can afford at the moment.

the greedy people that only pays the minimum will promote the release of "Humble Bundle Dev, Developers Need Food Too!"
