The Humble Indie Bundle event…

Written on May 18, 2010 by

The Humble Indie Bundle event has now ended, and was a great chance to get your hands on $80 (RRP) of cross platform, DRM free indie games, for as much (or more importantly, as little) money as you like.

The games that were on offer:

  • World of Goo
  • Aquaria
  • Gish
  • Lugaru
  • Penumbra

Now, the stats: the event raised a total of $1,273,541, with over 130,000 contributions. The average contribution was $9.18, excellent considering the payment system was set up for pay-as-you-like.

Windows – $8.05
Mac – $10.19
Linux – $14.52

Good to see the Mac and Linux people donating more (less users, but higher donation amount per user); I guess it’s just because we aren’t used to games that actually run on our systems…

Fingers crossed, we’ll see more of these type of events; I like the fact they are a great way to both raise money, and get indie games out there and known!
