Humble Indie Bundle 2: Now redeemable on Steam! HIB #1 is also included!

It's on!

The games are:
  • Braid
  • Cortex Command
  • Machinarium
  • Osmos
  • Revenge of the Titans

It's another pay-what-you-want sale from indie developers. Just like the previous bundle, you can also choose to donate to Child's Play and/or Electronic Frontier Foundation; This time, you also have the option to 'tip' the website (Wolfire's, I presume?) who arrange this bundle.



UPDATE: Now you can activate your HIB #2 on Steam and Desura (a new DD store from ModDB guys).

UPDATE 2: If you already purchased HIB #2, you get HIB #1 for free (also redeemable on Steam). If you haven't purchased HIB #2, you'll only get HIB #1 when you pay more than the current average.

In case you haven't followed last year's bundle, here's the list:
  • World of Goo
  • Penumbra Overture
  • Lugaru HD
  • Aquaria
  • Gish
  • Samorost 2 (bonus game, not redeemable on Steam)

UPDATE 3: A few news:
Revenge of the Titans will go opensource if HIB #2 reaches 1.75 million.
HIB #1 and #2 now supports BitTorrent download!

    nice, I can't believe I got all these games for $1. I just don't know if I will ever play them, maybe if they send me a Steam code for them...

    I'm not entirely sure how much I'll pay for these, but I sure would like a steam code for it.

    Anyone else unable to actually buy them? Tried a couple of the checkout options and it just refreshes the page with /?error-processor=1 added to the URL.

    Edit: Working now.

    I've got 3/5 of the games this time, but what the hell, its $1. With any luck we'll be able to add this set to Steam eventually too.

    $1 purchases make me sad. After Paypal/Amazon/credit card processing fees, the developers and/or charitable organizations barely get anything.

    These games are worth much more than that.

    Machinarium is worth at least that.

    I feel bad only spending 5-10 dollars on this bundle, but considering I have already bought all of them through other means (Braid on XBLA, Machinarium directly from developer, etc.) with the exception of Cortex Command, I'm really just purchasing another means to play these games (i.e., eventually through Steam).

    I'm definitely in for this; Cortex Command has been on my "to get" list for a while. Now to decide whether I like the devs or the EFF more. What's the "Humble Tip" thing? It says that it's a tip to the bundle itself but I don't understand what that means.

    The tip is so they can fund more humble indie bundles.

    Not bundle #2, they did do so last week for #1. They did contact steam for #2 as well so possibly in the future.

    Currently, no. But they're already in contact with Valve to achieve that.

    Can I pay them with amazon credit? I assume that's a no but I have more amazon credit than spare cash in the bank right now.

    And I can't find anything about it on the site.

    In an absolutely unprecedented event in the history of indie game packs, I don't already own any of the games bundled together and thus can buy the entire thing without a twinge of redundancy!

    Naturally, I proceeded to buy it twice.

    While one is a gift for my brother, the irony of the situation doesn't escape me.

    Machinarium is an absolutely wonderful game in every way. It was my favourite game of 2009. Get the bundle, hopefully paying more than one dollar, and play it.

    Machinarium and Braid will run on a netbook, I'd imagine. Haven't tested yet on mine. Cortex Command chokes my Eee PC 1000h due to the physics engine when shit blows up into bits and giblets.

    Don't know about the other two.

    Didn't some silly goose raise a stink last time how everyone buying the games at 5$ or so is only marginally better than a pirate, seeing how their price is normally like 80$?

    I wonder if those people factor in the sheer volume they're selling, as I'd imagine the week they run this campaign generates a lot more money per game than normal. I recall reading something by an indie dev regarding Steam sales causing the same effect for them, or something. Unless I imagined that.
