The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' is huge and well worth picking up

By - | Views: 33,648
The 'Humble Freedom Bundle' has launched and with it, tons of stuff. A large majority of it is available on Linux too.

The bundle will cost you $30, but the entire of it goes to charity and Humble themselves will match the total up to a max of $300K themselves. That's a pretty fantastic deal considering separately these games altogether would cost quite a bit. The charities this time are ACLU, the IRC, and MSF.

Games that support Linux:
- Stardew Valley
- Day of the Tentacle Remastered
- Overgrowth (Early Access)
- Nuclear Throne
- Octodad: Dadliest Catch
- Invisible, Inc.
- Super Meat Boy
- World of Goo
- Mushroom 11
- No Time to Explain Remastered
- The Stanley Parable
- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
- Super Hexagon
- VVVVVV
- The Swapper
- Spirits
- Human Resource Machine
- ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS
- 2064: Read Only Memories
- A Virus Named TOM
- Mini Metro
- Tower of Guns
- Waking Mars
- Monster Loves You! (doesn't have Linux icon, but it does have a Linux version on Steam)
- AI War: Fleet Command
- Sproggiwood
- Hot Tin Roof: The Cat That Wore A Fedora Deluxe
- Secrets of Rætikon
- Girls Like Robots
- Ellipsis
- Ninja Pizza Girl (has no OS icons, but Steam says it has a Linux version)
- Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball

It also includes some audiobooks and ebooks as well! On top of that, they may be adding more as the bundle goes on.

Personally, I think that's an insanely great list of Linux games. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Guest1- That's just propaganda from imperialist agenda. Sources are yihadists, KSA and Qatar, etc..
[snip]
2- Aleppo has been sieged for years, but this charities only care when the "siege" comes by the "evil" government, because they only defend Al-Nusra and that goatfuckers.

And i only searched for 1 minute, i can find more shit on the internet, MSF is just imperialistic shit.

And you are one kind of a troll. Liam, I'm done here (at least with this "discussion").

Wait - you don't believe someone who has done a complete one minute search on the internet?!? ;)

Since I already own Overgrowth and Day of the tentacle, the one Im interested is The witness. But since I can get it cheaper on a sale, I guess than I will skip this.
For people now owning the games, this is a great deal.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Still confused as to how the a charity that distributes food for failed countries that cannot or will not support its people imperialist but hey to each his own. (in case you're wondering Imperial countries do the opposite of that)
I was going to keep out of this thread, because I think some charities are definitely worthwhile. (And it's getting a little OT.) However, this statement is very wrong. There are many different ways that charities can perpetuate imperialism. The most obvious ways are those that give goods in exchange for something, e.g. oil, deals, Christianity. The other way is what you imply… by the direct donation of goods. Many "charities" rely on over-production of local goods to flood the market. For example, a company (or government) might have a glut of wheat, T-shirts, etc. for whatever reason. These are then "donated" to developing nations. It's a tax write-off for the company. And the receiving country gets a glut of goods that floods their market, driving down prices of locally-produced goods, and killing the local industry. The developing country is then reliant on donations for the future… making it a subject of the "charity".

OTOH "good" charities (e.g. Oxfam) often have an exit strategy. They have an aim to set up sustainable industries in the country. Similarly, as citizens, it's often best to donate cash rather than tin cans, clothes, etc.

Mmm i see where you are coming from but I completely disagree with you. Looking at Humble bundle the main charity they are donating too is Medicine sans frontiers (doctors without borders) these are volunteer doctors who put themselves in harms way to try to help as many people as possible. The donations pay for medication food and blankets. We could argue how the people came to need those services all day but it hardly relates to gaming.

Woops, I screwed hard on this one. I wanted to get back home and use my Linux PC to redeem the keys (Linux purchase and such), then realized that games that I wanted were gone from the bundle (No time to explain and nuclear throne -- maybe subnautica if I have a vive in the future and it get ported to Linux. Strike that. Every game I missed. I'm up for a trade with someone else on these (against key from other bundles I might not have redeemed)).
But what's heartbreaking is that, as I rushed to press purchase (greedy reflexes), I forgot to customize my split :/

Don't do the same mistake as me, but be aware that their steam keys seem to be in limited supplies. I don't know what it means for the game that "may" come soon.
CFWhitman Feb 14, 2017
Games that 'may come soon' are possible because developers could add more games to the charity effort. Of course, the further along it gets, the less likely this probably becomes (unless there is some developer looking for donating some but not too much that doesn't want to use the limited copies approach).

Hi, Subnautica and Super Meat Boy are 'gone', but Nuclear Throne and the rest are still there. Super Meat Boy is often on sale, so you can pick that up cheaper some other time. Grab the bundle now ;)

Well, to be fair, I already had this one (and a great deal of others).

But yeah, as @Eike said,

Thanks a lot! <3

Quoting: GuestI'm not here to research for you, you are not that important.

If you feel what you want to say is not even worth your own time, who am I to object? Just don't expect others to find it worth their time then...
