The Humble Indie Bundle #3

I will be buying as soon as i get home, such a good cause and as always it contains games I am interested in, even if it's only 1 or 2. I haven't finished any of the games from the other bundles either! So this is more fuel to keep me going when i am bored :D

Good job Desura is supporting them too, can't wait for the Linux client so i can have easy access to them all the time :)

Does that mean that all the titles that were a part of the Humble Indie Bundle will be available for Linux through Desura? So Trine and the other Bundle titles not currently available will be available through there, and it will mean you can get Braid somewhere other than the Ubuntu Software Centre?

In short? Maybe.

What I've been able to gather from the linux dev is that this is exactly what they would LIKE to do, but it's really up to the developers of the games themselves. Seeing as they're all indie devs however, I would assume most would give the go ahead to make it a one pay for all platforms.

I think I should start counting how much money I spend on games now. ^^
I'm also hesitating between giving a lot to the HIB3 or a bit less + some to stuff like FOSS games/projects, opengameart, humanitarian charities, etc.
There should be an option to donate to other charities/projects through the HIB. :)

(child's play and EFF are very centered on the english speaking parts of the world... :/ Does the EFF act worldwide?)

I actually meant it more in the way of the bundles you buy you can activate on Desura. But most of if not all of the games in the bundles are available on Desura anyway :)

The games in the current Bundle are all now available to buy on Desura as well :)

Hey, this is Hamish, but I am on a library computer.

Anyways, looks like I am happy, as both Braid and Trine (as well as the Shadowgrounds games, poor LGP :P) seem to be coming to the Linux Desura, if you study the latest screenshots released:

I already own all of the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle games (missed the second bundle due to problems with our credit cards, so I missed out on Braid) but I do want these games to continue to be available through other sources so those who miss out on the Bundle events can still enjoy them.

My main complaint against the Bundles (you mean there is something you can complain about?) was that a lot of the ports sold through them seemed to not be available through other sources (in some cases), thankfully Desura is helping to relieve this.

Actually Desura's Mark commented saying the lists still show Windows games, so take what games are listed with a pinch of salt.

Your last point is very valid though, you cannot get (from what i see) Aquaria from any other source which is a shame as it's a nice little game.

It's a good job Desura is being active though as this bundles games you can already buy directly from them :D

Time will tell what will be available, i reckon end of august we will see either the stable release or some form of testing release. I had a chat with Scott the other week and hopefully i can get a look at an early build :)
