No, it is not the fact people value the games low, it's a simple economic calculation. If you do not care about the bonus game, and do not have strong feelings about any of he games you will pay the minimum that will get you the games, regardless of how you value them.
You could totally play CoH on that.

Screw you. Don't you want to see Relic finish up Company of Heroes 2?
Is it obvious where you put your name? I think I'll donate a large sum to have "Help Relic Finish CoH2" show up for a little while on the leader board.

I bought it for SR3. £3 is pretty decent for that, can co-op it with someone.

That's for the other games. Whoever gets it gets it, member or guest. I have Metro 2033 and I don't want the others, no point me redeeming it.

My biggest pet peeve about Humble Bundle: You can't bulk purchase. The other day I wanted to buy keys to give away so I contacted them. They said I have to purchase them separately. Yeah, no thanks!
Too bad I;ll end up doing it tonight...

I dont think they have enough capital to make another game. I'm not sure how they can still afford to turn on the lights in the buildings right now.

The split between "indies" and "corporate" is something that literally every industry wrestles with. Music, film, games, fine art, underwater basket weaving...
There will always be an "Us vs Them" mentality from the indies and I can, to a degree, understand. They had to take matters into their own hands to make the games they wanted to make, and here comes a big company that made some mistakes stompin' on their turf. "Hey man, back off. Big guys like you are the reason that we need Humble Bundles to promote our games in the first place!"
I can understand where they're coming from, but we're all here to play some games. I like games. I like when they are made more accessible to more people. More games for more people means more options. Saints Row The Third did some things that were awesome. I can play as a TOILET if I want to. I think we're all on the same side here. I don't mean to play the un-showered hippie, but I think we can all work together on this.

Humble Bundle inc. just shot themselves in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about indie games (I'm an expert), but credibility and elitism are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in XBOX 360 where you can become successful by being an a******. If you screw someone over in indie games, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the indie gamers, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Humble Bundles, nor will they purchase any of THQ's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Humble has alienated an entire market with this move.
Humble Bundle inc, publicly apologize and cancel the "humble" THQ publisher bundle or you can kiss your business goodbye.

That account is replying to all the people whing about the bundle not being "indie". Not making a statement about charity.
You can't trade individual CD-keys.

Bought above the average. No interest in any of the games besides SR3. Now I'm just waiting on my SR3 code...
I also bought because I'm hoping there's a decent game added at the halfway point like all the past Humble Bundles. Don't let me down!!

It's amazing that people still fall for this one. It's been, what, 5 years?

Just looks like a bot to me. The lack of any other satire on the profile page is leaving the rest pretty ambiguous.

100% bullshit. Indie Devs want money... Humble Bundle is still one of the best ways to get attention to little known devs. Some will be too stuck up for this, and if so it will ultimately be their loss.... but it won't have a long term effect on Humble Bundle because the great thing about Indie devs is that there will ALWAYS be more, and as long as their are people willing to pay for the service, there will be people willing to meet the demand.

So the SR3 Code should now work in Germany... can anyone confirm if it is uncut?
If they put Saint's Row 2 in this bundle it'll be the best money i've ever spent. I've never been able to buy it, because it's been always 5 bucks or 2,50 for a german-only censored key.
I refuse to pay 5 bucks for a game that not only it isn't properly coded in a performance aspect, but doesn't support Widescreen resolutions.

My bad, I got these in a past offer and they were individual steam keys, I thought it was the same for this case
