Comment on Introducing the Humble Indie Bundle 6

Comments

These games look pretty good, unfortunately I literally can't spare any more money this month.

Would it be a dick thing to do to pay $0 for this bundle and promise myself to pay a lot more for the next bundle (even if the games suck)?

No. They're offering you the games at whatever price you can afford, you're allowed to take them up on their generosity! If I were you, I'd pay the minimum $0.01, use the torrents to minimize their costs, and increase the amount you're paying later.

As an alternative to torrents, if you're playing on Windows you can just take the keys they give you and put them into Steam, rather than downloading off HIB servers.

You have to pay $1 to get a steam key.

The default split gives a large chunk of money to the devs. The devs involved in the next bundle maybe(usually are) different than the devs involved in this bundle. You would stiff someone but overpay someone else. If you give it all to charity, their charities stay pretty stable across bundles.

You can increase your payment later, usually.
