I'm sad that's seen as the value of these high quality Indie games ($0.92 or $1.84, either way).

It's a race to the bottom in terms of price these days.

I just got it, mostly for World Of Goo that I've been meaning to get for ages. I only had about $10 to offer in the deal currently, but because of this I'm far more likely to want to buy something from them in the future, and will likely offer more to these developers when finances are a little more secure.

Already own World of Goo and Penumbra Overture and am not really terribly interested in the rest, so didn't bother. I did buy World of Goo directly from 2D Boy for €15, so they made soemthing off me at least.

The real challenge is if they can pull it off again. I hope they can.

The Humble Indie Bundle is great, but a lot of the ecstatic pontification about "new business models" seems highly premature. Nothing about this promotion - for that's what it is - suggests this is any way to sell first-run releases, or that it scales to games with substantial budgets. Those experiments still need to be done.

I'll try and pick the games up, but my problem is likely to be downloading them.

I got it once they added Samorost 2. This marks the third time I have purchased World of Goo and the second for Gish - so originally the pack was of limited appeal.

I think it's interesting that the developer-charity split is 70-30. I would have expected it to be closer to even.
