To the Moon is SOOO Good.

Seems like quite an overreaction.
Given the price of Starbound they may as well just make it a straight $9.99 incentive, period, to drive the average up, at least for the first day. For some reason I was thinking of another game that was something like $40, but this is one I was actually interested in and is only $14.99 anyway.
And the 5th copy of Starbound I bought arrived (it's a bazillion times less annoying than Terraria, actually good, and $10 in a bundle is a fucking steal for it)
I'd say the first Joe Danger, some other BIT.TRIP games, and surprises

Hmm, let's see...
Interested in Reus and Surgeon Simulator.
Already have Runner 2 (PS+) and To the Moon (stupidly bought in a Steam sale - haven't played yet of course, why do I keep doing that?).
Don't really care about Papo y Yo (apparently it's very mediocre?) or Joe Danger (the demo of the first one didn't grab me at all).
So... I guess I'll wait and see which games they're gonna add to the bundle.

Good to hear about Starbound vs Terraria. I sort of like Terraria, but never really got into it, but Starbound seems much more appealing to me. Will have to pick it up sometime.
Also let me just restate that you people should play Papo & Yo.
That's the best strategy if you're not interested in the available games, as they've removed any benefit for buying in early.

I'll get this bundle after it drops more.
Kinda pissed, but it's strictly jealousy not having the chance to get Starbound. It'll be between this bundle or just buying Starbound on Steam.

Not good enough. I will add some more money to it so it stays above $6. Brb.

The selection of games is pretty good (the first bundle in a long time where I own none of the games and am interested in most of them).
The Starbound promo wasn't a cool move, though. I almost went for it, but I decided to wait until the average dropped a bit.
My friend got Starbound, though. It wasn't even that he wanted Starbound, he just wanted to beat the average.

listen to the mad man
Surgeon Simulator is an excellent game with no qualifications attached. The controls aren't frustrating, they're skillful. There's a ton of content, much of which got added after the fact for free. The skill curve is amazing and when you get good at the game you feel like a god.
Next Tuesday, 11AM PST.
This looks fantastic, particularly Reus and Papo y Yo. My only concern is, I have a Macbook Air (1.7 i7, 8GB, Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024mb) and fear these games won't run particularly well. Is anyone else here running these on an MBA (or equivalent) and have any feedback on how games run? With a number of these games making their Mac/Linux debuts, there's little info out there on performance.

Sounds like my kind of game. This bundle is amazing value as always from mainline Humble Bundles, To the Moon is one of (if not the) most touching stories ever told in a videogame, Reus is beautiful and unique, and Runner 2 should be as addicting as 1 (gifted it to a friend this Christmas, but it was quite cheap so I'm good). I already own Starbound so I'm not even mad I missed the deal.
What fiasco exactly? The fact that everyone wanted one?
Right, they're clearly outclassed by, um... er...
Fiasco?
- They said there were a certain number of keys
- Keys sold out
- Offered refund for those assuming they were getting one but in fact did not
- Are now trying to get more keys for those not asking for a refund.
About as far removed from a fiasco as you can get.

All games I don't have, for once. (Except Surgeon Simulator 2013.)
I guess I'll be regretting my winter purchases with future bundles. (Only because I'm OCD about saving money.)

I don't own any of these games, which is a nice change from having to double dip all the time. Good bundle!

Pretty good bundle. Will try out To The Moon later.

People are mad the average price is inflated because everyone currently buying it is not getting the same product. The Starbound thing was simply there to drive up the BTA price.
At least that's what I'm getting from the reddit thread.

Wish I hadn't slept last night, would have had a chance to get Starbound.
Still, To the Moon, Papo & Yo and Runner 2 are games I have wanted to try for a while, good deal at the current price.

For a short time, that would be true, but eventually, as it has pretty much happened already, the first thousand or so $9.99 purchases would become statistically insignificant, especially when weighed against the likely greater number of $1 purchases. Unless the BTA games are really hot items (like Bastion was for HB5), the average would eventually come down to around the usual level. The bundle began with a $4.99 average, and it shot up to around $9, but now, after ~70,000 purchases, the average is down to $5.79, a pretty normal level for most Humble Bundles.
Fake Edit: Just checked the stats for the past 9 main Humble Bundles, if anything the current average is on the lower end of the spectrum.

I'm curious to know what all the people that had crazy lists of what they expected to be in this bundle think of what the bundle turned out to be.

I'd say they'll run fine. Plus it's $6 and some of it goes to charity, you can't go too wrong.
Those people should stop being such cheap cunts.
Not really
Check out other websites like reddit they are getting attacked left right and center about it and left alot of people angry.
Fiasco- offer a tiny number of keys 1000/77,000 barely 1% of the bundle buyers had a chance which many people did not know about and it hasnt even been 24 hours
Use this Artificially raise the BTA
Have many people pay the $10 but miss out and they may or may not get a key
Have an even large part of the population learn of the starbound deal and get mad they were not told and missed out.
Check online the majority of people that knew of the starbound deal are mad about it and it has caused people to buy the bundle for 1 cent to lower the cost.

Yes, I know how silly the internet can be. That people posts silly comments in different places just means that there is an overreaction in several places.
I paid $10 long after the Starbound deal was over, because these packs are such great and opportunities the way they are. That the Starbound deal was apparently not handled in a perfect way is not enough for that we should forget that. Some comments here makes me want to pay even more to raise the average.
