If Humble Bundles are not DRM free anymore I will not bother anymore. This is a disgrace to the brand they created.


Between compromising on DRM free and multiplatform I'm pretty ticked, especially because Humble Bundle has told indie devs I know to take a hike specifically because of not having a Linux port. The double standard is kind of offensive given that this money will likely get entirely devoured by THQ-the-publisher instead of the worthy studios that built the games being sold.


This bundle doesn't have "indie" in the name. I'm pretty sure they've done similar bundles in the past. I think it's a good thing that they are introducing more traditional publishers to this pricing model, and I hope the experiment is a success.


They haven't done similar bundles in the past, hence the surprise everyone is expressing.
