Indie Bundle #3
Pay what you want. If you bought these five games separately, it would cost around $50, but we're letting you set the price!
All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
We don't use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely. There is no time-limit on your downloads.
You can support charity. Choose exactly how your purchase is divided: Between the developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or the Child's Play Charity. Also, if you like this deal, a tip to the Humble Bundle itself would be much appreciated!

I bought it for $10 and gave ~70% to charity. I already owned 2 of the games, and VVVVVV is worth buying the whole bundle for imo (Owned it before, but it's been re-written in C++ with a new level editor included now). Not sure about the rest as of yet.
btw crazyfingers...Its pay what you want. Pay what you think they are worth and support a charity at the same time. They aren't "weak" indie games imo.
EDIT: kudos to the top contributors. Notch $2000....thats pocket change to him though eh.

For a "big proponent" of indie development, you sure do have a weird attitude to actual indie devs trying to sell their games.
Crayon Physics Deluxe won the IGF grand prize. Valve liked Cogs enough to include it include it as part of their Portal 2 ARG. Kieron Gillen called VVVVVV "great". If you don't think these are good indie games, I think you just don't like indie games.
Also, I don't think you understand what the word "monopolized" means.
:thumbup:
Eh, maybe a bit overstated but i stand by my original post. This bundle just seemed to kill a bit of the momentum the prior bundle had built.
By making the bundle a big event they get a large amount of valuable advertisement other indie games simply do not have and many gamers feel they have "cleared their conscience" to charity and indie developers, and having a select few games is absolutely monopolization of a large slice of the indie dev pie (as small as that is).
*Shrug* maybe there just aren't any new good indie games, regardless the current lineup simply did not impress like the prior had, yet there's still this high and mighty mindset that the community is helping the "little guy". Perhaps i should have specified, I'm a proponent of GOOD indie games, mindlessly throwing money away on the same old same old in my opinion is more of the same.
P.S. If you want to support a fun, inventive Indie game, purchase Terraria on steam, if you can get it on sale great, but it's a steal at 10 bucks.
Terraria is making more money than any of the humble indie bundle games.
"a monopoly exists when a specific individual or an enterprise is the only supplier of a particular kind of product or service.[...] Monopolies are thus characterised by a lack of economic competition to produce the good or service and a lack of viable substitute goods."
Just in case you want to know. If not, by all means, continue using the word incorrectly.
Didn't really like Hammerfight's control scheme after a while, don't like the idea of swinging around my mouse like that... but it was still a interesting idea.
The other 4 are awesome though, I love games that make you think hard!
It is complimentary for existing customers, new people must beat the average to unlock it.
Also includes Steam and Desura keys
