I apologize.  I requested a copy before I remembered the issues with Paypal.

You're right--next time I'll do without.

I can't wait to see someone do a giveaway on this site and for every single person who's expressed disgust in me giving away games to sign up.

"BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME!!!!!"

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE HUMBLE INDIE BUNDLE IS?!

The difference is that you are actively harming the people who are trying to do a nice thing(the humble indie folk) AND making it look like you are doing a nice thing by helping people get games.

They've done it four times now. The first one even had people PIRATING the Humble Indie Bundle from an unsecured link.

It's not harmed them and has, in fact, raised awareness of each of the indie companies involved. Which is more the idea than making money (although they do make a hell of a lot of money).

Don't you think they would've stopped after the first time if it was harming them?

PayPal does not charge per transaction, by the way. As far as I can tell, it charges monthly. So, yes, I am contributing by paying £0.01 for each of these copies, no matter how marginally.

If it makes you all feel better, I gave them 5 dollars to cover you.

Got mine, thanks, RF. :D

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

I AM glad to see Linux users continuing to overrepresent, paying more than twice the average on average, for a bundle thing that has a history of not working so well on their systems. (at least most of the first didn't on mine)

Yeah, fuck indie devs, sick children and people who want to stick up for our rights!

It's not as if any of those folks could put the money to good use.

And if one doesn't have the money, surely one mustn't take advantage of the kind offer of strangers, enjoy their handicraft, and then advertise via word of mouth.  If one is part of one of the underprivileged target groups, indeed, one should leave the playing of games to those who can afford to give out charity, rather than receive it.  Kind of you.

Don't make assumptions.
