Phoronix: Another Single-Game Humble Bundle Deal Launches

Another "Humble Indie Bundle" is now available, but like the last bundle, there's only a single game being offered up. At least it's still multi-platform, DRM-free, and goes under a "pay what you want" model. Another catch is that the new game that forms this bundle is still in an "alpha" state...

Since when do bundles consist of a single item? I don't get it. This is what a "bundle" is:

There is nothing said about a bundle.

Just a buy and support a game if you like.

a scam

this shit ain't "humble" or a "bundle".
this is just some hacks trying to pull off Minecraft-like sham and getting profit with half-assed effort. only their effort doesn't even have a substance like Minecraft did.

Looks like they are trying to milk every last penny out of this marketing concept. But LOL at the 'easter egg' you get if you set the amount of money to pay to less than a dollar

[Setlec]

i wonder if they will open source it or not...

[PsynoKhi0]

They're experimenting, why not?
Helping finance a game under development sounds like a decent idea, as long as they have enough to show for it.
It's still pretty balsy given that the Frozenbyte and Frozen Synapse bundles were the less successful.

(And yes, only the URL names anything releated to a bundle.)

The game reminds me of "8 bit pixel warriors" or something like that, on the PS3

As someone mentioned, open sourcing seems to have fallen out of favor, which is a shame, I'd love a mono-free Spacechem.

Except for the article title.

Edit: And the URL.

Michael doesn't think that a game not made by a company with millions of dollars and corporate backers doesn't look good!? How shocking!

Honestly the game looks quite fun. And since when did we start complaining about the way pay what you want sales are run? Especially ones that support Linux and are DRM free?
