Although obviously disappointed, I guess I'm not as mad as you at them. Mainly for two reasons:

1) This time the Windows-only THQ event doesn't take place at HB's main site but on a separate, secondary compartment. At the time of the infamous THQ Bundle many agreed that something like this would've served as a mitigating circumstance.

2) As for the Android-only bundle, I'm not completely enraged by it since I own an Android phone (even though it can hardly handle any of the bundled games and most probably I'm not gonna get it). What amuses me the most is the name they've chosen: The Humble Mobile Bundle. I however understand they couldn't have named this one as The Humble Bundle for Android 6 since it's clearly a different product than the 5 previous ones.
And not that I care about iOS, but they could at least have made this bundle multiplatform by featuring games available on both mobile platforms (or even for Windows phones also).

Quoting: Gamelaunched.comJust wanted to clear up the error page issue that you guys were talking about. We had to block a total of 5 countries with ip ranging - not because paypal wouldn't allow us to use their merchant platform, but because it is illegal to raise funds online through site's like ours in those countries. So, in order to get approval from paypal for our api, we had to block those countries.

And yes, to contact us please use the link at the bottom of the pages, and to contact project development teams, you can use the twitter, facebook or website links on the project's page.

Hi James, I didn't see your reply when I wrote mine. Thanks for clarifying the situation and best luck with the site!

No problem. I'm glad you finally found out, even though it was only to confirm your initial suspicions. :(

I'm glad they decided to support Linux. This game seems promising. I'm off to add it to the crowdfunding wiki! :)

Well, the second Humble Weekly Sale is live and this week we have... four Windows-only THQ games. :(

Do you mean the website's developers, or the games' ones?

If the former, there's a 'Contact us' link at the bottom right, and if the latter, although there's no email address all the projects pages have a link to their respective developers' Twitter accounts and Facebook pages (and all bar one have a link to their website).

Yes, I've been able to connect to this site using Google's DNSs. And it's perfectly possible for a web server to block whole IP ranges in order to prevent connections from certain countries. But, although I'm not an expert either, surely an ISP can block IP adresses and/or IP ranges as well (as opposed to remove URLs from their DNSs), can't it?

Anyway, it doesn't make much sense to me for a platform that prides itself to be International and to accept submissions from around the world to go around blocking whole countries... I think the best you could do would be to contact them and ask them: [email protected] / https://twitter.com/gamelaunched [External Link] / https://www.facebook.com/gamelaunched [External Link]

Quoting: SabunI always get an error when trying to access this Gamelaunched website. 403 Forbidden, I don't have access to view it. Is it not viewable in Malaysia or SEA?

No idea... Maybe it's your ISP who's blocking it?

D'oh! I forgot to add a picture or a video from Ostrich Island. Could any editor please do it for me? ^_^

Quoting: edgleyHonestly, I just want to play games on Linux. If DRM is attached to that, then so be it.

I don't share your point at all but I respect it. After all, I don't care about opensource (when talking about games, that is) the same way you don't care about DRM, so I'm aware that a hardcore free software advocate could regard my stance as either naive or outright harmful to the future of videogames.
