Humble Frozen Synapse: New Humble Indie Bundle Offer!

Didn't I buy this a year ago? Repeat bundle?

You bought the FrozenByte bundle which was Trine + some other games. This time it's a new game that happens to have a similar name, and they are giving you part of the old bundle with a similar name for free + 2 other games if you beat the average price.
 
I love the guy who gave $50.01 to be at the top of the "top contributors" board. It's like yeah, you spent more than anyone else, but you clearly only did it to be up there so now you just look like a douche.

Anyway, this seems like an amazing deal.
 
Frozen Synapse is awesome. Shame they probably aren't giving out two copies like the normal Steam version.

That will become advertising space pretty quickly, I think Notch gave a little over $2,000 last year and put his name as '@notch' to advertise his twitter.
 
So I put in $10, slid the sliders a bit... thought for a while... noticed that it said "DRM free", when it dawned on me that I won't get it (Frozen Synapse) on Steam I lost interest.

What's happening D:


I need to try again.

All wrong! Give these people your money.

I have played my copy only once. The first mission lol, it was fun, but somehow I took to long on one of my turns and confused myself into thinking a guy was dead....well he wasnt and he backshot all my guys.

Im going to get around to playing it through tho, amazing game, backlog is just to large right now.

Why is there such a disparity in the average payment between the OSes anyway? Surely you'd think there would be an equal percentage of cheapskates across all three...

If the average is lower, but there are more buyers, they may still profit more from Windows users.

Why is this always brought up when Humble Bundles appear? If there was a problem with the system, it wouldn't keep following the same rules. But there isn't, these guys are making a shit load of cash and benefiting charity at the same time.

By imposing a limit on purchases they'd lose a huge amount of sales.

Uh you always get a steam code... Valve and the devs are totally down with this... It's been like this for all of the past few bundles.

We Linux users get very few commercial games so for something like this we feel compelled to give generously.

Ahh, thank ya. Didn't realize the main game was in fact a different game. Seeing Trine and Jack Claw confused me.
 
Already have the game on Steam. Bought it again anyway hoping it would activate the soundtrack version on my Steam account but it doesn't work like that. Gave the error that I already own the game and that's that.

This threw me off:
We don't use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely. There is no time-limit on your downloads.

I liked when these bundles included games I hadn't heard of before, or already purchased half a dozen times.
 
First HIB I won't be partaking in since I own all of those games. I might still buy it for a friend as an excuse to give some money to Child's Play.

Buy FS and send it to as many friends as possible. The online population needs to be reseeded.

Ah. Right.

Hopefully the patch for FS will be out on Steam(again) soon. :/
 
I was going to pay 1 buck, because I'm not that interested in Frozen Synapse and I already have the Frozenbyte humble bundle.

But then I remembered that my cousin doesn't. So I paid 5 bucks.

Edit: dick move that the average is actually going down with time. Oh well. Frozenbyte bundle is the one that was really successful and everybody bought, right?

I wonder which new bundles will be added with time.
 
I tried the demo/free weekend/whatever and didn't like it much. Someone mentioned that it comes with a Steam key. Can you also play it as a DRM-free version on Windows?
 
I keep buying these bundles, but I still have yet to play more than 2 games from any of them.
Oh well, at least I have them.
 
Frozen Synapse is not even half a year old, isn't it? I hope the game didn't bomb, because it's truly an amazin strategy game. :|
 
I was in the Frozen Synapse beta and still have only played maybe 2-3 hours of that game.

Really need to focus on this backlog
 
Since I already own Trine, do I get a giftable copy if I redeem the Frozenbyte bundle on Steam?
If not I might as well gift the entire pack, I just wanted Frozen Synapse...
