Poll: POLL: Is paying a penny for the humble indie bundles cheap?

[PaganFury]

Just wondered what everybody thought. I for one think its very cheap considering all the hard work that went into them and due to the fact it goes to charity.

I would go a step further as you end up costing them money due to running everything.

So it's not only cheap, it's douchebag cheap. Multiply that by 100000 if do like some assholes have and sell the thing to other people for items or torrent them.

Well, they intentionally allowed people to do that.

If someone offers to sell me something for 10c, I'm not going to feel guilty for taking them up on it. (Y'know, unless it's a starving child selling her family heirlooms in order to buy a handful of rice to feed her baby sister... uh... what was I talking about?)

Anyway, in the later bundles they started including an extra goodie for anyone who payed above the average at time of purchase, which was a cool idea.

Oh and for the record, I paid $20 for each of the bundles I bought.

Their fault. At what point does "looking for the best deal possible" become "being a studio-killing moneygrubber" anyway?

Shoulda set a higher minimum if they didn't want that to happen. I don't buy these bundles cause generally I'm not into indie gaming, but it's their fault for having the door open.

I try to buy it for whatever I can afford at the time. Hell I don't even play most of the games but I can justify it more than just sending money off to the charities.

I don't know what a penny is worth, you might want to clarify for people who live outside of the US or who don't understand what the colloquial names for coin denominations of cash are worth.

This^^

If you have minimum costs you should set a price to cover them. Unless of course they have deals with the host providers to meet all those costs and that penny will still go to the cause.

It's cheap and insulting, but they should simply put a minimum amount. C'mon guys, you know better.
