The Humble Indie Bundle Closes At 1.8 Million
The Humble Indie Bundle offered an unparalleled deal this past week, allowing you to pay a price of your choosing for five top indie games while simultaneously supporting charitable causes.
The promotion has ended and the results are impressive. The first Humble Indie Bundle brought in $1,080,964. The second bundle has greatly surpassed that number, racking in $1,823,144.66 of revenue. The final number is a result of 232,849 purchases, with an average purchase of $7.83. The top contributor is listed as Nexus Scorpion, who gave $6,132.96 to the cause.
The administrators promise a more comprehensive donation breakdown at a later date. It will be interesting to see how much of each purchase was given to the developers, to charity, and to the administrators themselves. Regardless, a big congratulations is in order for everyone involved.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
