Well the deal is only good for this week... so he can buy it this week, and play it next... :mrgreen:

Wouldn't be the first time I've "padded" my collection in such a manner. Sometimes a deal is too good to pass up.

Np at all BW - pays to have RSS feeds on Blogs - I split my purchase between the 7 and at the moment it's 156k, not bad for 9hrs and 22k each if left at even split :)

An interesting offer for interesting indie games, and first of all, someone remembers about Mac and Linux users.

I'll buy it soon.

Also Frictional Games have slashed the Pre-order price of there new game by 50% to just $10 :shock: until the 11th of May,Since they were very happy with the way the bundle has gone so far - No surprise there as less than 2 days the Bundle has netted everyone over 324k :)

I bought mine too. I actually dont have time to play video games, I bought the pack and I will possibly not even find time to install them. They turned me into a "customer" and extracted money from me, thats why I find this project awesome.
There are still two days left and they accumulated 630k. Assuming the amount was equally shared, each developer earned 90k so far. That sounds pretty and I hope they enjoy their new fund.

A bet was made between certain Parties of the Indie Bundle - if you pause the Video at 1:17 you will notice written on the Bundle page the details of this Bet.

The bet was - if 1,000,000 Dollars was raised then the makers of Gish,Penumbra Overture and Lugaru will release the source Code for those games - Well spread the word and get people to donate to the Bundle cos it's 847k and 14hrs to go.

As a result the source code for Gish, Lugaru, Aquaria and Penumbra Overture are also to be released under Open Source licenses.

I'm in. It's for a good cause, even though I'm not horribly intrigued by any of the games.
