In my humble opinion, they should review the way the bundle is priced. Price went up by 75% in the last 5 hours; before the end of the day price will reach the $5.00 - $7.50 range, that is the what people are willing to pay for a 4-games indie bundle where no charity is involved (steam indie bundles are the benchmark here). After that price is reached, they will see a significant loss in sales. Even if someone is going to overprice the bundle and pay it 50$, only 7 people are going to benefit it by paying 0,07$ less (WTF!) If you want my opinion, at that point they will "manually" lower the price by adding an anonymous donation of hundreds dollars to keep the price affordable and see sales grow again I agree that developers should find a way to avoid 0,01 $ or even 1$ purchases, but this is not the best (and the most transparent) way to handle it

Yeah, the system isn't perfect as it is now, but this is only their first bundle and I'm pretty sure they will learn from the mistakes they made with it.
$5 is still a valid price for the bundle, but when it rises even more, they will have to do sth about it.
One problem I see here is, that there is no charity involved and as nice as it is to support the indie devs, I'm not paying an amount as high, as I do for the HIB.

Now I wait for someone to pay $300 so the price drops by $1.

Odd I just tested it on the site and when you move the slider to $300 it 'claims' the price will drop by $2. Whether it does or not I have no idea but that's just what it says.
It is odd there's a huge chasm between the 0.50 cents and the $2.00 one. There should be a $1.00 price point somewhere in the middle 'in theory'. though perhaps they've crunched the numbers on that one and they probably can't afford to do $1.00 anywhere in the middle and have it make financial sense.

So the Indie Royale Bundle has started today.
It's $1.99 for 4 games (A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda, Gemini Rue, Sanctum and Nimbus) and you will get direct download links, Steam keys and Desura keys.
The thing is, with every minimum purchase it will get more expensive and on the other hand, every higher amount payed will lower the minimum purchase price.
There are 3 more bundles scheduled to start in 14, 28 and 42 days.
I think the system sounds quite good and it certainly prevents all the $0.01 payments.
