Indie Devs are making more money than THQ.

I have never owned or even played any of these games... $6 well spent. Yeah I spent a bit more than the average, but I felt slightly generous.

Can you link a few?
Activating the key on Steam will just add it your library. You can't get gift copies even if you already own the game.
edit: to be clear activating a key with a game you already own wont eat up the key unless the key contains other games you don't own.
Not ALL indie devs, but there are some that have a "we are indie, we are so important and the most important!"
The recent Kickstarter fiasco is a perfect example, without people learning about Kickstarter due to bigger names going to it they would have a much smaller audience to learn from.
There are some that are different, but there are a vocal minority of indie devs that piss me off and make me hate supporting them because they have this air of arrogance about them for being indies.

I like how the average price drops a few cents every time I look. If I jump in above the average price now will I get Darksiders 2 after they add it to the bundle out of desperation in a few days?

It gives even more publicity to the HiB, and all of those potential new people are signed up for the mailing list which will periodically tell them to buy some indie games.
Correct, they have negative money.

5.23. Ouch.
I think I will get this, even though Armageddon doesn't seem to be that interesting and I have the other games minus the CoH expansions. But fuck, I want CoH on Steam, FUCK three tousand consecutive updates.
My free copy of RF: Guerilla never worked, btw, still a bit bummed about that, THQ. And my UK copy of DoW2 didn't work, didn't register on Steam. And my copy of SR2 didn't work past the first level and had tons of streaming issues and weird bugs (maybe I have a magic copy). Still, don't die THQ.

$5.22 for BTA?
It keeps falling. This isn't like any other indie bundle.
What it means is that people are satisfied with the other AAA titles for a $1. If it continues like this, this may be a historically low priced bundle, which is disturbing given the games that are in it.

I support them by buying their games in store at full price (which I have). This is for Charity. I gave to Charity.
I'm thinking more along the lines of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Homefront. THQ is likely going to try and leverage Darksider's 2 in a Christmas sale.

It's the same bundle, maybe with a few additional games as time passes.

You need to do at least $5 to grab Saints Row 3 plus the rest which you get at any price. Well, wait, does it have the dollar minimum on it?

AFAIK you get the bonus regardless i.e. even if the bonus will be "beat the average" as long as you bought it before it is added to your account.

Almost pulled the trigger at $5.37. It's now $5.20.
I wonder if it's a bunch of people buying $1 keys to resell later.

I bought it at $5.28 for Saints Row, Darksiders, and Metro 2033. Plus whatever else comes down the pipe. Would have spent more if there were DRM-free installers.
EDIT: Actually, I wonder if I'll even play these. Regret.

That's some salty entitlement especially from Terry (take it Super Hexagon won't feature in a future Humble then?). They probably should've gone for DRM free, but lets face it most successful bundles (humble or otherwise) provide Steam keys. It's what most people want RE: DRM. And many previous games in these bundles have not been available on Linux or Mac and most of the money comes from Windows users.
I don't see Humble Bundle as a brand really. Indies just getting salty 'cause their precious cash cow isn't flowing money into their account for once.

I own none of these except Saints Row.
Will buy.

So If I pay $1.00 right now, and a new game is added, will I be grandfathered and receive it like other bundles in the past or do I beat the average? I want to buy an extra copy for my brother but in no way I'm paying more...

So, you're saying that THQ should NOT be offering a PAY WHAT YOU WANT TO WHOM YOU WANT bundle of their games? This was their idea, not ours. You can't be mad that people don't want to pay much for old THQ games that were not that good in the first place....I'm sure THQ isn't upset about people playing their games.

I wonder what they might add as the beat the ave? Maybe DLC for saint's row?

I feel disgusting and I paid a fair amount. 
TF2 trading will be filled with people trying to trade the $1 keys. :/

Going to get a few bundles when I get home from work tonight.
Some really nasty attitudes in this thread btw.

But it's THQ. Would that truly be shocking?

You have to beat the average usually to be grandfathered in I think. Depends on the bonuses that are added though probably.
