Please Note:

10% off Humble Monthly for New Subscribers

While the Stars Wars Humble Bundle II and the Humble Jumbo Bundle 6 both say:

10% off Humble Monthly

Average Windows: $0.97

Maybe someone forgot to put a dot when making the payment... :D

$202 now :)

Well said.

Its not even a demo.. its early build which might be better than the final build xD but wait.. there is more! you will get coupons that lower the price by a spit in case you like the games!

Pretty gross... not even the decency of a Greenlight bundle of the sort Groupees runs, where you get a promise of Steam keys upon release.

;_; I really hope he doesn't

Szinte ingyé' van…

Can confirm this works

Seems no more works.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Our payment processor requires that you pay at least $0.20.

thanks! will add to OP

The trailer says that there'll be a surprise on the 23th, the game is soon to release, and that particular game doesn't include a coupon.
I wonder if the games that doesn't have a coupon are meant to be the ones that they may give keys for.

You get the opportunity to try a bunch of games out without having to pay 10$+ for each in an early access state. They know that people will just pirate it most times if they don't get it on Steam and putting up a demo usually limits the content and is hard to balance how much you should let people be able to enjoy and how much you want to keep locked for full users. They don't want a demo to have everything because then there's no point in buying the full game and if they risk cutting out specific features or upgrades then they might turn off those who try it anyways. Honestly this seems like a good thing. I could understand if these looked like cheap knock offs but most of the ones I looked at look like they actually have put some good effort into the ideas.

They're not, you're just buying coupon for their store :

As long as you didn't pay early I would think so?

You could Create new account ?

I think you can try it eeev! If anything, you would just be spending $0.01-$1 for a 10% coupon plus some early builds of games and more coupons

+1

I'm not looking to argue, but I wonder if you're right. Here's my thinking:

What's being given to us in this bundle is, in essence, advertising. We're getting early builds of games to wet our appetite, and small coupons that don't last to give us an extra little push towards early purchasing. Combine that with the fact that by selling it as a paid bundle they're imparting to these promotional trinkets a halo of value (as apposed to if they just gave them out as free demos) and it really looks like they're doing the software developers involved a favor. Should we be confident they aren't being paid for that favor?

Humble must know that a lot of people will go with the $0.01 option--that's why it normally isn't provided. (Humble gains from our generosity sometimes. But they also understand incentives and how to deploy them.) If Humble allowed it here, knowing full-well what would result, I have to think it's because they're confident they'll come out ahead. That makes me think taking the bundle, at whatever price, is probably giving Humble just what they want out of this: wide dissemination of this bundle.

Yes, I totally should feel bad. I should spend more money on demos because they havent been free for the last decades or they arent meant to be a small DEMOSTRATION of the product for me to see if it's worthwhile.

What's next, paying for ads?

This is just plain cynical.

Assuming you pay fees for every single transaction ... businesses have different contracts with paypal than consumers.
Besides if those low transactions would harm them financially > they would've changed that a long time ago.

Maybe. Or maybe this is a creative way of promoting these games. It's essentially a commercial in bundle form, yes? Why not think that's actually what it's meant to be?

yes, every tuesday they will put out a new 2 week long bundle

early build - not the full build version, older versions of game, a working prototype or "build" that still needs a lot of work improvements
early access - users can purchase in-development video games and play unfinished versions of the game while it is being developed
demo - finished game, but you only get to play a small part of it for free, and if you like it, you buy the full game.

not sure about early build vs early access difference.

early build= you get only the download of the current state of the game
(steam) early access= you get the current state of the game on steam, all the future updates AND the finished game when (if) it gets finished
demo= well, just a piece of the game to see if it runs and/or if you like it (not used anymore by the majority of the industry)
