Dammit... just bought this because of Ben There, Dan That (which I had never heard of before but it looked kinda funny), and now the donwload page tells me it isn't available for linux. I must say I'm a little bit pissed... I know it's my fault for not checking before, but I got so used to the Humbe Bundles it didn't even occur to me there might be no linux client. :/
Edit: Actually, two of the other games aren't available for linux as well... well at least I didn't pay more than the minimum. :>Last edited by Zhick; 14 November 2011, 12:57 PM.

IMHO these new bundles might actually have a negative impact for Linux gamers.
I guess the majority of Indie developers rather decide to go for
"Indie Royal Whatever Bundles" if they're not required to provide Linux versions.
Even with Linux users willing to pay more than Windows users, at least for the
Humble Bundles so far, bear in mind the total share of the generated money
is rather low compared to the Windows and Mac sales.
So unless an indie developer is a Linux enthusiast, where I fail to see a general
correlation, I wouldn't be suprised if we see less indie developers to opt for the
Humble Bundle "way".

Originally posted by stqn View PostI think that both the obligation to include a Linux version and the E.F.F. donation are a strong hint that they not only wanted to get more money, but also wanted to do something good. Now of course there's a strong possibility many developpers would prefer not to have to make and support a Linux version...
Now most of them changed to crossplatform technology/engines.
also linux was unknown. not so much anymore.
the HB is still the big one thankfully, so almost every future indie will now take into account linux and crossplatform or even open source tech.

I can't help myself but the games imho don't cut the mustard.
Some days ago they stated, "to avoid confusion",
"Really Big" does not refer to a large bundle but to one specific game.
Call me naive, but I thought that this hints a "big" game.
Instead, they just meant a shmup named "Really Big Sky".
Nothing to add. Just that I'll stay with the Humble Bundles only in future.
I mean if there were at least two or three available on Linux...
