Quoting: Sabun
Quoting: EKRboiOMG. I WANT THAT BOX! too bad it's download only =(
I feel you there man! I'm surprised they're suddenly interested in bringing it to Linux as well. Would be awesome if they did it the right way, that is natively :)
That would be unexpected since most of them aren't native on Windows!

Quoting: commodore256So, after this, the only game that needs complete Valve's first party catalogue would be Left 4 Dead 1.

New Humble Weekly Bundle (5 Linux Games Out Of 7)

The distinction between Indie bundles and other bundles as regards DRM-free and cross platform policies is an artificial distinction invented after the fact as a rationalization. The first couple of bundles not labeled Humble Indie Bundle <insert number here> were also both DRM free and cross platform, take the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle as an example. The fact is for about the first 2 years or so of the existence of the Humble Bundles there was no non-Indie bundle exception, it was invented after the fact.

It used to be the case that developers had to port their games to Mac and Linux and provide DRM free builds to get to be in a bundle by Humble Bundle Inc. That is no longer the case, so that is one less incentive to port games to Linux. I am not actively boycotting Humble Bundle over this but I am using the option to not give Humble tips (or give lesser tips) on some bundles and avoiding others completely.

Quoting: killxdenDid anyone else see that the humble store version of redux already has the penguin icon and the release date is set to 29 August? https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/metro_redux_bundle_storefront [External Link]

Is that a mistake? because they said it will release later this this year. Maybe it is a surprise :P
Surely 29.08 is later this year?
