Each of us helped make the Humble Bundle brand what it was. It wasn't just me, but I helped. And so did they. Many of us our upset.
All of you seem to be part of an extremely small minority since this outsold 14 of 19 of the past bundles in less than 8 hours. At it's current pace it'll be the second highest bundle by tomorrow.
Yes, it's quite obviously photoshopped mardi gras beads.
No, you made some posts that a couple of dozen people probably ever saw. On the other hand, you are acting as if you were the major driving force of popularizing the bundle when probably a 1000th of one percent or less of all donators ever heard of you.
They helped build that brand with my help. I provided them tons of free advertising and word of mouth because of the principles I thought they upheld. They're making a mockery of my effort.
Get over yourself. You're a nobody that had negligible effect on their success.
Because this is like Apple giving Apple ][ computers to schools or Microsoft giving them free Office suites.
So a gift that almost anyone but ungrateful freetards would be overjoyed to receive?
But...but...he's THE Eric Hopper. How dare you not see how important he is. He practically single-handedly made the Humble Bundle what it is today. Not the founders, or the companies involved, or the people hired to port games, or the 100s of thousands of other donators. Nope, the Humble Bundle is what it is only because of Eric Hopper.
They are? So that's why it's outsold 14 of the last 19 bundles in only 9 hours?
I am happy with them offering both and if we can encourage more, it will help generate some solid numbers that can help break the illusion of whether or not DRM is providing the businesses an advantage when they see DRM free indie games generating respectable or hopefully more income than DRM'd games.
Generating more? Hah! In only 9 hours it's bested 14 of the last 19 bundles and it still has the better part of 13 days left.
and FOSS the game afterwards, like the previous closed source games in the past did.
Only a couple of games went FOSS after the bundle and that was only at the beginning. The vast majority of the bundle games are never open sourced.
No, the charity was that Humble Bundle was set up to support Child's Play. The non-DRM, multi-platform stuff was the side effect not the primary motivation.
Having said that the bundle has been available for around 27 hours as the time of this post,
It's only been out for just under 9 hours not 27.
Considering in only 8.5 hours that it has outsold 14 of the last 19 bundles and still has nearly 13 days to go shows that their decision really isn't hurting them.
Wow! In less than 90 minutes, the Humble THQ Bundle has reached $200,000 in sales and over 40,000 bundles sold! Thanks everyone for all your support for awesome charities and amazing games!
71 minutes later:
Holy smokes! The Humble THQ Bundle just reached $500k in sales and over 94,000 bundles sold! Your support is phenomenal!
And 2 hours later:
We're not even 5 hours in and the Humble THQ Bundle has already hit $1 million in sales and over 181k in bundles sold! We can't thank you all enough for your unbeatable support for charity and games!
So basically it's one of the fastest selling bundles in the history of all the bundles. Man, what a total failure it's amounting to. It still has 12 days and 21.5 hours left and it's at $1.5 million and has already outsold 14 out of 19 of the previous bundles.
Yes and the Windows users also made up around 70-80% of the revenue in most of them.
As opposed to the CEO who pulls in $1.5 million after her pay doubled along with her $3.5 million cash incentive target? Maybe she should be taking a paycut first?
At the Federal level, manslaughter is fines and/or up to 10 years. Rape is fines up to life imprisonment. First-degree murder is death penalty or life imprisonment and second-degree murder is life imprisonment.
There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
