    Humble Indie Bundle worth more to Linux users

    http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...tem&px=MTE5ODQ

    Final figures on Humble Indie Bundle 6 come down to $2,048,439.47 USD from 316,266 sales. The average purchase price was $6.48. When the average purchase price is broken down by platform, it comes down to $5.82 for Windows, $7.58 for Mac OS X, and $10.48 for Linux.
    I'm not sure if I'm allowed to feel some pride at this. But, well, I do. Is that wrong?

    I think that's been the case with pretty much all of the Humble Bundles so far. I always take great delight in pointing out this fact whenever I encounter some obnoxious type trying to claim that Linux users are all tight-wads who will never pay for anything.

      I think its because we are grateful to have games ported to Linux. i will happily pay money to not have to deal with Wine.

          On the contrary, if you had NOT felt some pride then 10 Hail Stallman's would have been required!
