5 indy games that would normally have a collective price of $80 can be currently be brought for any price you specify.
I spent £5, I'm a horrible person.

I got it too, fish man. Paid the ten bucks, which makes me better than pirates!

[Thissa]

This is worth it for Aquaria and World of Goo alone.

Hm, might have to check this out.

It's interesting, the people spending the most money are Linux users... the clear conclusion is that Linux users are wealthier?

OR Linux MAKES you rich? Hm.

If you ask me, I think the open source mindset of Linux users compels them to support productions that are less corporate and heartless.

Also Linux users probably have tons of spare money after not purchasing a Windows license or a Macintosh computer.

THIS JUST IN!

Apparently Samorost 2 is now included in the Bundle. If you already bought the bundle though, don't worry! Go visit your link to get it free.

Don't feel too guilty if you only donate a penny...
25,000 people are less generous than you.

Lugaru was not my thing. Felt awkward as hell.

Gish was... bleh... neat concept, not fun.

Samorost 2 was fun but short. Played the demo for Machinarium (http://machinarium.net/demo/) and that was awesome, might pick that up.

Haven't tried the others. Probably check out Penumbra despite my fear of fear. Kind of saving WoG and the other for last as they seem the coolest.

So apparently the deal is going on for four more days as four of the games go a step beyond DRM-free to Open Source.

They're still not going to be gratis, as either the source code will be placed under a paid license or the engine will be free but not the content (similar to what Caravel Games has been doing with DROD for a while now), but I am definitely glad to have sent my entire Amazon Payments balance of 51 cents to these guys.

I'd definately buy all of these for 20$, if it wasn't for the fact that they don't accept direct credit card payment, but rather want you to use online payment systems such as Amazon, Google (!) or Paypal.

I think I used Amazon without signing up... honestly I can't remember actually, all I remember was that I couldn't get my paypal account to work...

Paypal allows direct credit card payment, actually.
