That's very interesting, as I've always thought it was bootstrapped by Wolfire games. Serious question - why does this need funding?

- citricsquid 15y agoThe first bundle (and possibly second) was bootstrapped, they took funding after the idea was shown to work. That's all I know, not sure why they have funding.
- heyitsnick 15y agoThanks for the extra info. Seems to me like this is the perfect company that can eschew outside investment; I assume they curate these bundles with no upfront payment, and then everyone gets a cut of digital sales. Not sure where this $4m could be going unless they have big plans beyond the current the current model.
- forrestthewoods 15y agoBraid can be bought directly with Paypal, Amazon Payments, and Google Checkout as payment options. Corner of the box says "Humble Store". What they do with that is a unknown, but I find it interesting. http://braid-game.com/ http://braid-game.com/
- barrettcolin 15y agoThat reminds me: I noticed that humblebundle.com is apparently involved in the purchase transactions for the recently released 'English Country Tune'. So maybe there's more afoot than just the bundles themselves: http://www.englishcountrytune.com/ http://www.englishcountrytune.com/
