Humble Indie Bundle lets you pay what you want for five amazing games
"Pay what you want" is nothing new for 2D Boy, the company behind World of Goo. They tried a limited-time experiment with the choose your own price model that ended up moving tens of thousands of copies. Although most gamers only paid a penny, full-price sales and sales on Valve Software's Steam store went up in a big way after the promotion. Will people pay closer to full price when charity is involved? We'll have to wait and see.
Did I mention all of the games are DRM-free and cross-platform? Check out the promo video after the jump for more info and ... a little rap.

Sent em $10. World of Goo is worth it alone.

Um, how come my Download Squad RSS feed turned into the TV Squad feed? I went to check new posts on FF and all it is giving me is links to the TV Squad? And no, I haven't subscribed to TVS. I'm very confused.

Same thing happened to me... I have no clue what's up with that.

Same thing here... Something went wrong in the Weblogs Inc headquarters.

I am only really interested in Aquaria (have played the demo), but haven't bought it before, because standalone it was overpriced at about 16€. So I payed 10$.
I chose the money to go to the devs, because IMHO those charities really aren't THAT important. I mean giving toys to children in hospitals in western countries is not my idea of high priority charity. Instead I prefer to donate to MSF in parallel.

I gotta admit, it does take some chutzpah to come out with an anti-children in hospitals stance, even anonymously on the internet. To each his own. All worthy causes IMO.

Well, my view is that we are talking about children in western countries here (with the one exception of that hospital in Egypt that is listed on their website, but that is one out of 30 or so). They probably own enough toys. Hell, probably even the hospitals have toys available.
And even if they don't: The difference is between the children being bored slightly more or slightly less. There are so many other charities that are really about life and death of people (including children).

sorry for the question, but Im using ubuntu 10.04 (completley awesome), and would like to know how to get them for linux...only asking because the article was also filed under linux, but it would be great to have these game natively in linux, plus steam (maybe), now that would be amazing.
