Christmas is officially over, and so is the Humble Indie Bundle #2 promotion. Only one of these is a good thing.
For those of you who have just arrived via a hole in the time-space continuum or something, the Humble Indie Bundle #2 promotion was an epic deal of five (and later eleven) DRM-free games, where buyers could choose how much they wanted to pay for them. They could also choose how their cash would be divided up between the developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Child’s Play Charity.
The total amount cashed at the end was US$1,823,337.27 (±R12,231,680), from 232 849 purchases. Linux buyers paid the highest average of US$13.76 for the bundle, despite Windows users accounting for the overwhelming majority of buyers with a comparatively miserly average spend of just US$6.67. The top contributor, Nexus Scorpion, blew a staggering – if somewhat inscrutably arrived at – US$6132.69. It’s not even a prime number, pshhkttt.
