Go and pay what you want (even $0.1) for a bundle containing Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos and Revenge of the Titans. :P They all work on Windows, Linux and Mac and are 100% DRM free.

Cortex Command is worth at least $10 bucks, imo. Great game.

Oooo; Braid? I always meant to give that a try, guess I got an excuse now ...

EDIT: Oh, hey, Machinarium is that game? I've seen that played; that's fun too. 8-)

Revenge of the Titans looks pretty fun. Braid does too. I think Cortex Command looks good, but I think I would just get pissed at it.

I picked up the last humble bundle and loved every game in it. Just got this one too. Cortex Command looks fun, and braid is awesome (I have it on XBLA, I wonder how well it is on the PC/Mac)

Hmm, already bought 3/5 of the games previously. Might need to pay 2/5 of the average. But then how am I supposed to boycott Paypal, and Amazon, and Visa? Unless...

At the time of this post

Total revenue: $253,398.73
Number of purchases: 36,939
Average purchase: $6.86
Average Windows: $5.67
Average Mac: $7.68
Average Linux: $13.83

Windows users are the cheapest and Linux the most generous?

They're just not used to having decent games to play.

Or they haven't previously wasted money buying apps that Linux comes with for free.

They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas.

So then who really is the cheap one ???

Yeah, you're probably right. The 80% of people who use Windows are just dumb. That's the simplest answer.

It's down to 80%? :o

More money than brains, anyway. If they have enough money to dispose of, they might still have some brains. Of course the malware might get you in trouble anyway.

I was just giving a conservative estimate :P... anyway I think my original point is correct. There aren't a lot of good games for Linux so something like this is a big deal for Linux users. Windows users already have a huge set of games pumped at them constantly so these are not as significant.

If they had some RPGs I might be interested.

My butt. I paid full price and they never update it. It's such a waste of money. >:(

I paid $18 all up, $10 to the developers, $3 to each charity and $2 as a tip, which I assume is going to wolfire games. I already own Braid, Osmos and Revenge of the Titans, and $10 for the other 2 games seems like a bargain.

I put myself down as a linux user, because I really would like to see more comercial linux games.

I spent 20 bucks. Oddly, when I tried to split it even between developers and the "humble tip", it calculated 10.01 and 9.98. lawl sliders.

And I still can't download Machinarium ... Braid is pretty impressive after a couple of worlds though.

EDIT: Got my Machinarium downloading now via the pirates. Hope they're paying for it too but I doubt it. A penny for the children? I need that money for grog and wenches, arggg!

It seems $29.95 was an example input in the textbox and that seemed reasonable so I went with that. :) Of course, I also classify myself under Linux. Indeed, I think that Linux users pay more because they appreciate the open nature of the Humble Bundle. The code isn't necessarily open (albeit, most of the code was opened up for the last bundle), but at least the license is pretty fair: use as many times on as many computers, etc. That on top of the fact that they're making Linux ports makes it well worthwhile to support them. It helps that the games are generally pretty good too. :)
