Most gamers distinguish games made by a small indie team and those made by Ubisoft, THQ, etc. Had the Ubisoft bundle been Humble Bundle's first ever bundle, they would have came across as a very different organization.
- djur 9y agoThe Humble Indie Bundle also once only included cross-platform (Windows, Mac, and Linux) and DRM-free games. It was a huge impetus for a lot of Linux ports of indie games.
- boomboomsubban 9y agoEvery game in the latest Indie bundle had Linux support. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/05/humble-indie-bundle-18 http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/05/humble-indie-bundle-18
- cannonedhamster 9y agoThe Indie Bundles sure, but most of their bundles now are strictly not cross-platform.
- icc97 9y agoSo they still do indie bundles, they still do pay what you want pricing, they still do DRM free, they still have support for charities. But on top of that they've added a lot of sales that breaks any of those principles. I think they did well to keep the core of the platform there but at the same time offering other things less noble that keeps them afloat.
- srvysays 9y agodo you have poll results handy detailing what most gamers think, or did you determine it using the jedi paternity test method?
- fsloth 9y agoI don't really see the need for 'indie' to be a brand qualifier since most games nowadays due to mobile have sub-aaa production values anyway. It's cool to have a few guys in a garage hitting it big, but the production methodology or distribution does not engage me. FTL and Witcher are very different sort of entertainment and I like them both.
- freehunter 9y agoNot to mention Humble Indie Bundle is only one "bundle" that Humble offers. They also do Humble book bundles, comic bundles, big publisher bundles, textbook bundles, PC software bundles, etc.
