It does make sense, people tend to expect cheap games as is written in that article. I also think one of Alex issue's besides that the cheap sales are bad in general was that games that got added "later" to the bundle did not get an even remotely fair chair.

Cheeseness is right, you can see the bundles as an investment in getting better marketing but that only works if you already got several games out there. Penumbra when it got into the HiB already had 2 sequels and they where working on Amnesia. So yes that could work out, but if your 1st ever game gets into the bundle and with the general attention span people have these days you will be long forgotten when your next game comes out a year or more later.

That all being said, to be honest I don't think it will change now the gates are open so to speak.

very nice, 1s few seconds I was thinking Ultima Underworld ;) a dungeon crawler with random generated dungeons sounds endless fun though. anything about classes ? or will you gain skills in what you use most, you know like the old DM used to do, even your wizard could become briliant tank if he just kept at it :)

Humble Bundle showed that Linux users pay more then any other OS, but has it really led to anything other then that ? The Indie Royal bundle appeared which did not force developers to make a Linux version so they ignored the extra sales Linux can generate. Yet the Royal bundle is done by the same people who are behind Desura who in return did invest in a Linux client for their store... that one still puzzles me a bit.

Gameolith I have to admit was the one that surprised me the most in a good way, it does not look that big, the launch was rather unspectacular but if I see the support they do via kick-starter for example it shows they got their heart in the right place.

Things I want to see in 2012 .... a [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_(video_game)']Captive[/URL] remake, answer to [URL='http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/34255/Humble_Bundle_Backed_By_47_Million_In_Venture_Capital.php']this[/URL], a linux version of [URL='http://www.grimrock.net/']LoG[/URL], the new Steelstorm or a DLC for SteelStorm 2... ooh and probably many things more :)

either way, have a good 2012 all.
