He also hasn't quite realised that, as with every other humble bundle, you're donating to charity and getting some games for doing so rather than just paying for the games themselves.

They aren't doing this just to give money away to charity, they do it because the guise that "you're doing something great for charity!!" makes lots more people want to pay.

Yes, charity gets a good cut of the money. But Mojang also sells more volume in the process. And companies like Valve have proven, selling in volume is the goal of any marketing scheme.

The fuck are you talking about? Yes they are.

All proceeds go to charity! You can support up to four vital non-profit organizations: The Child’s Play Charity, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Red Cross, and — for the first time in a Humble Bundle — charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations.

FUCK. Knew I shouldn't have wasted my money.

I trusted you, Wolfire.

Never. Fucking. Again.

Wow
I am really sorry, but how stupid are you?

[Kegan]

Woah wait they've added other games to the bundle? I paid when it barely started, does this mean I get those too? Or are the other games gonna be available if you pay a little over the average price? (They've done that a few times with older indie bundles, pay x-amount to get like, half of the previous bundle. God damn I love the humble indie bundle)

Basic rules of HIB are:
-Pay what you want
-If new stuff is added after you bought the bundle, even if you don't match the requirements to get them if you bought the bundle again, you get them on the key you purchased before

That's what I thought, thanks man. Now I'm even more curious to see how this is gonna turn out

[SEKCobra]

Well with Wolfire joining in, this might actually get interesting. I think no one thinks mojang was going to make anything nice.

[mastermaul]

From what i'm seeing of the wolfire game it might just be fucking amazing.

Also want to see what the other studio comes up with, what with "Post-Apocalyptic World War II Dungeon Crawler Beat Em' Up".

[BenJammin']

Wolffire already made a fucking amazing small game in a short time span already, it's called Black Shades and it's one of the best freeware gems I have ever played and I used to beg them for a proper full blown sequel.

It's probably not the case of can't afford to, more so have no means to.

Technically you are asking someone else to donate to charity for you which is pretty stupid, either way, it's not going to work, so shoosht.

I'm pretty sure they should be working on Minecraft instead, how many more games do they want to make before they provide a significant update to Minecraft.

Jeb and someone else is now working on Minecraft.

[Maruhai]

One of them is just fucking around on Steam instead of working right now.
Wow I want to work at Mojang.

[Woovie]

Bacon slapping!? Want do participate.

We voted on an steampunk RTS and now their game is an Ancient Egypt shoot em up without any steampunk or RTS elements?

Bomb boy has stated several times that they're going to have steampunk enemies/units/what have you.

Still not a RTS.

[MisterSjeiks]

I can see how Wolfire's game can get very addicting once they add a few more things, like gore, multiplayer and lots of powerups.

[jordguitar]

Wow, the people watching the stream are harrasing mattis over skype by adding him constantly

People being dickheads? that's a first.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Edit: Just saw the progress on that game Mojang's making, I rather like the art style they're going for, mummies with tophats and monocles? Good for a laugh at the very least.

Games can change during development. Plus, you're getting this game for almost literally any price you want. Stop whining.

[scratch (nl)]

I hope you can get followers, and perhaps some deployable turret thing / a base?

[Smooth Jazz]

It's pretty cool watching the livestream and seeing the development process. Just reminds me how much talent it takes to make a game. Also, didn't the survey put Egyptian as the least chosen theme?
