Humble Indie Bundle #2 Just Made One Million Bucks

[m_gol]

Lugaru was far from polished, or at least that's how it seemed on my computer. Same with a couple other games. World of Goo was as polished as can be, though.

In this sense I think most games suffered from "beta-ness" in their initial HIB2 form, Braid didn't even start, CC didn't run in 64-bit mode, Revenge of the Titans was incorrectly packaged... Thankfully, till now most of the issues has been resolved, so now the only "beta-like" game is CC.

Also, I didn't notice Lugaru to be far from polished. It certainly wasn't wonderful graphically but it worked correctly so I guess it was finished. No other game was IMHO "far from polished" in the first bundle, too.

Did somebody notice the onlive codes? Also 5000$ from onlive... Only Win+Mac, but Linux support would be interesting. Maybe i test it just for fun

What do you mean by "beta-ness"?

Mind you, Cortex Command is pretty "beta" too Most of the modes don't even work!

Of course - there's no DRM, so as long as you're being honest, you can send your active HIB1 download link to someone else, or just send them the install files you've downloaded.

Actually, DRM has nothing to do with it, I'm just asking about potential licence issues, I wouldn't like to break some rules.

Just out of curiosity - are HIB licences transferable? I mean, if in a few months I met sb that didn't hear about HIB before, could I give to them my licence key for HIB1 (deleting it from my mails etc.) as now I have an additional HIB1 licence contained within HIB2?

year's bundle was fun (especially the standout World of Goo), but there was a bit too much "beta-ness" in it.

I'm loving this year's bundle. I'm already addicted to 3 of the games, and the other 2 are pretty darn fun. Last year's bundle was fun (especially the standout World of Goo), but there was a bit too much "beta-ness" in it.

I'm sick and tired of multiplayer FPS games. I've been playing them for decades. Now they bore the crap out of me. Every new game announcement I read about for Linux seems to revolve around yet another damn FPS frag fest. This bundle is refreshing in its lack of FPS fragging, and I'm really looking forward to the upcoming OilRush game too.

And for those idiots debating the value of the bundle's revenue... who cares? This is supposed to be a charity and fund drive, not these companies' sole source of income. Stop turning this into a philosophical debate and just have fun with it.

Everyone who ordered before the HIB1 games were added gets them. Only people who are ordering after they were added need to pay above average.

I think everybody got the extra games from the first bundle, well i had em already but i think thats a nice idea

[m_gol]

Was the average at some point below $5? My friend paid just it and she has HIB1 links on her site, too.
