I'm really disappointed. I know the site has been doing very well monetarily with their format but stuff like this discredits them to me.
For most people I think Humble Bundle was about doing good while also building awareness of indie developers. I've tried so many games I would never have heard of let alone purchased because of the site.
Hopefully their next release won't be Disappointing Bundle 2.
So you'd rather them sell NOTHING than THQ games? These games are stellar. Company of Heroes is one of the best tactical RTS games of all time. Red Faction Armageddon is very good. Metro 2033 is very good. Saints Row and Darksiders are very good. These are not crap mainstream games thrown together with a Humble Bundle tag, these are brilliant pieces of software.
And anyway, you don't have to worry about this for long, there's not a lot of mainstream publishers out there that are going to give you a bunch of triple A titles to sell for donations. The money is still going where it used to go. I see no problem with this.
Yeah, I would rather they abstain from doing things that all other platforms can do. That's part of keeping your focus on your core values. This is NOTHING like the previous bundles and this is a clear regression to me.
