This seems more like helping THQ get back on their feet.



I don't mean to be mean or thoughtless, but why should a community originally formed to support DRM free cross platform indie games support a failing corporation (that needs a lot more help than a humble bundle sale could ever do for it) which isn't any of those things?

Do they intend to be any of those things if they do get back on their feet?

Aren't they publishers themselves? Why can't they just run a sale? It seems like using the humble bundle is purely a marketing thing.

I didn't support the previous humble bundles as a marketing tactic, I supported them because of their goals.

Couldn't you just give your money to the EFF, then ?

My first reason for buying Humble Bundles is the very low price. The goal is the nice side effect.


I do give money to the EFF directly as well.

If I was after low prices there'd be no reason for me to pay more than a dollar or two for a bundle. I pay what I pay because I want to support good art, good code and a good platform for that with good goals.
