It was removed from Steam store for a while, then got back.

I'll wait for the next humble weekly and decide then...

*VAT will be added for customers from the European Union.
Well, forget it Blink Bundle.

Yeah, how dare they follow the law from the country they're located in!

Actually, I think they're breaking EU law, which requires retail prices to be displayed inclusive of VAT (at least as prominently as the VAT exclusive price). Some digital retailers, such as GOG, actually "secretly" charge EU customers less, so that once VAT is added, the total paid is the same for everyone.

Pretty sure that by saying that EU will be applicable to VAT, they're within the law. It's kind of hard to set that for example, when you can customize the price you want to pay. If someone wants to do $20 for example, and then at checkout, see the VAT, which they were told would be applied, they could go back and put in the value pre-VAT that = $20 if they still want to go maximum $20. Or, ya'know, figure that out beforehand if they like to. It's tough when it's with custom prices. Since they state applicable to VAT, pretty sure that's within the law.

It's not like every single person bought ALL the bundles.
If you are aiming just for a collection (or like such kind of games), this bundle is pretty good for you.. but otherswise, not really I guess.
Repeats might still be what many people would like to play and not just collect. :P

Only interesting one for me is Lilly ... and 5€ - lol no way.
It's also disgusting how they they want a $2/€2 charge for what barely qualifies as a $1 tier.
btw, does anyone know why so many Reus and Knytt GAs have been around in the past 2 days? Reus suddenly has more GAs than while it was actually sold in the bundle and Knytt hasn't been bundled in a while?

Getting 5 games (worth $42+) for $2, that's outrageous right. Do they really expect us to pay $0.40 per game? None of them are obviously worth that much. One of them has even been bundled in the past so it's worth nothing now.
/sarcasm off
All those bundles have really warped people's sense of value. Buyers are getting over 95% off the retail prices of a bunch of games but they still like to complain about how much they're being overcharged.

Well. For me the retail prices (of most games) do not reflect their actual value.
It's pretty similar to clothing or electronics (or anything else really). They put the thing in the store at a ridiculous fantasy price. So they can put a "huge discount" on everything which drives people into buying madness thinking they'll save so much when they buy it quickly.
If you want to compare stuff to it's undiscounted retail prices, sure go ahead. But I'll stick to my "I can wait until it's as cheap as it never has been before" attitude - and guess what, even that has failed recently as usually many -90% steam sale items turn into bundles within a few weeks after the sale. If you don;t mind paying more than necessary; cool for you. Reality though is that pretty much everyone here and on steam has a ridiculous backlog which doesn't make paying more than necessary for me a valid option.
Also: $1 just seems to be a nice breakpoint for all the people that just like to collect trash. You actually really want at least one of the games? Suddenly $2 seems a fair deal. If that is not the case, then it's the double price... which already sounds awful. And next week, it will be three times the 'acceptable' price.

We'd rather build on the lower tier offering some actual quality, and a decent amount of games. I think that's a trend a lot of people would actually prefer. I think it's really a sign of the bundle market going downhill if they pander to people just collecting what they see as trash.

What? Lol.
His point about $0.40 per game still stands no matter what way you look at it. Also considering the hard working people that go into developing any decent game, $0.40 is way undervaluing their work.
Also when it comes to "acceptable" price. Pretty sure Humble Bundle Weekly hasn't been having an issue with 2nd tier at $6 offering 2 or 3 games for the extra $5. BB is offering an extra 7 games for $3, and even giving a week where it's not $6, after which it'll be $6, same as Humble's Weekly 2nd tier.
Even if you grab it at $6 in a week, that's $0.50 per game, quite undervaluing the actual value of the game no matter what your view is. It seems most people forgot the point of sites like Humble Bundle was originally to expose indie games to a larger market, introducing people to games they'd never heard of before, and offering them at an affordable price format that is similar to buying 1 game for its retail price, and getting the rest of them for free.
It's not about pleasing people who collect games. It's promotion and support of the developers of the games. If you don't care for any of them, then don't get them. If you do, then don't complain about the price.

Interesting bunddle, but I'm hesitant because I don't know who is running it . . .

Mutant Mudds Deluxe is a nice surprise. While it was bundled before (in Desura/DRM-Free form), it's worth the $4.99 alone, along with some of the other games bundled with it. Can't wait to see what the bonuses offer. :3

Gah, Costs like an extra dollar for us europeans.
