Exactly. It costs them more for the bandwidth if you downloading it. If you aren't going to give at least a dollar, you should just download from somewhere else that won't cost them bandwidth (like on a torrent).

$5.00 it is.

that's not how the internet works. at all. you don't pay as you go on bandwidth for web hosting.


edit: also note that one of the top contributors to the indie humble pack is a ex-iw employee. tee hee!

Osmos is worth far more than $10, Braid was interesting, dunno about the rest.



I love the double guilt trip: Rip off poor indie devs, AND sick children.


EFF is basically the coalition of "DRM is for money-grubbing corporate machines" too.

It is how it works, especially for CDN (do you think someone is going to host huge game files on a normal webhost? That would be an easy way to get your account disabled for sure)...

They use MaxCDN which costs 99.99 USD for the first TB, and just keeps going up based on how many GBs they have transfered.

Dear Humble Indie Bundle customer, I would just like to personally thank you for your support in making the Humble Indie Bundle #2 even more successful than the first one. As thanks, I have added the Humble Indie Bundle #1 into your bundle. If you go to your personal download page, you will find the following games waiting for you:

- World of Goo (now a top seller on the iPad)
- Aquaria
- Gish
- Lugaru HD
- Penumbra Overture
- Samorost 2


Happy holidays! They're (mostly) redeemable on Steam too, if you would like to link them to your account.

If this kind of thing makes you happy, please feel free to add a little more to your Humble Bundle purchase (you can help bring up the average on your download page) and keep spreading the word!

Sincerely,
Jeffrey Rosen
Humble Bundle


More free games! :D
