crikes, I think this game is going to break 5 million. Damn. It's only got 15 hours left, but they only need 100k more to break the 5 million mark

That's a LOT of cash.
Kilga is this right; like is this person seriously the player, and it's not some alias or something that's designed to be deliberately obfuscating? NekoNekoRex. Who the hell is that :C   ~Poya Aaaa (Serela), Bunny Must Die Mafia

Yep, they broke 5 million. And then some. Gj

when in doubt, blame haku :smug:

The default split already gives 20% to charity, at an average purchase of $8.34 as of right now, with over 500 thousand copies sold, and excluding the occasional hipster with too much free time(protip: you) it being safe to assume the overwhelming majority of people will go with the default split, that's over 800 thousand dollars.
The developers getting 65% of the default split gives them(right now) just under 2.8 million dollars. Which for a week of sale is a lot.
So yeah, for all practical purposes, it does work that way.
(I'd rather you put "sdsfsgs" there instead of "hurrrrr". Oh well, personal preferences. I know I'm a hipstah, but thanks for the protip.)
Two weeks actually, and divided by 8 studios it is a bit less cash, but still quite a lot indeed. 400 thousand dollars each. Nice.
I don't know man. It was a pretty fun feature. You don't normally have a chance to choose how to split the money among involved parties. There must have been plenty more people who played with it, if only out of curiosity. In any case...

Yeah. Five million dollars. Good game, well played. As far as I know, the previous bundle only raised something below four million, so it's a new record. Glad to have been a part of it. And Bastion is a hell of a game. Then there is the rest of the games I haven't touched yet. Amazing.
Oh and I felt that Humble Brony Bundle were gathering strength to challenge Notch's first place on the list of top contributors in the last minute. So they did. Damn bronies.
Spoiler:
That rant does not even make sense, as Notch stated somewhere that he liked watching My Little Pony as well.

Current Indie Royale has the three games in Gundemonium Collection and also Acceleration of Suguri. May be of interest to the people around here who haven't got at least the collection already.

Man, they really went all-out on this one. Will probably grab it for the shmups. :>

Well now, its been awhile since I've seen one that actually interested me. Lookin' like I'm gonna have to gift GC though, seeing as I already have it.

Nothing I want for today's sale, partially because I bought most of this stuff during the last summer sale. Wondering what surprises are in store for the next few days.

Haven't bought any of the stuff yet.

Binding of Isaac plus DLC is one of the dailies for 75% off. If you, for some reason, don't already own this game, go buy it.

But I'll wait for the flash deals to change to see about anything or the dailies. I know I'll be getting Oath in Felghana when Day 5 comes.

I'm Harry Enfield for the next 9 days straight. LODS OF EMONE. MP3 is already 50% off? Suits me just fine.

Payday's a fantastic indie-type FPS, but it's far better when played with a few people. Tribes is also a great arena multiplayer if you can stomach the learning curve. I sure as hell couldn't. Also pay-to-win.

Talk about timing... July is proving an expensive month for me; I already brought video tutorials, along with an IPS monitor, not to mention food and a haircut. This means I'm gonna have to pass a good number of these deals up, no matter how inexpensive.

I know the feeling.  The end of this month is going to see about five different games I really want coming out in the period of about 7 days, so... most of my money's going there.

I just got a laptop upgrade, though, and thus will be able to play a lot of the games I've owned for a while now, so... yeah, no real need for new ones.

This is the second Steam Summer sale to get a hold of me. I already bought a bunch of the offerings either during the previous summer sale or the holiday sale, but so far it's gotten me Tribes Ascend (plus starter pack), Borderlands, Frozen Synapse, two Indie Bundles, both Ys games, and a bunch of DLC. Shame I can't install this all at once due to my ISP's data cap.

What have I grabbed so far... aside from cheap DLC for stuff I already had...

Binding of Isaac, Trine 2, Max Payne 3, Darksiders, both Ys games, Ass Creed Revs, Grimrock, and SerSam3

Binding of Issac bundle!

Not sure what else to get, was thinking G-mod or that half-life collection.

Seriously, Broderlands is OK when played alone. With multiple people, it's far better. Each class is distinct, but basic gameplay only changes so much. Also, go nuts with your favorite types of weapon, but give every kind a try. The only ones I never used were repeaters, but that's only because revolvers were so much fun.
You.  Me.  Co-op.
Oh yeah. Remember how I brought this up some time ago? I brought it up with my friends before mentioning it on #t-m. There was a waiting list.

I remember.  We never played co-op because of your friends.  Treachery! >:(
