My problem is for $5 I have to not have the majority of the games AND really want them which almost never happens.

These days most games that are in one bundle get bundled in elsewhere and since this is one of the more expensive bundles out there they will almost certainly be cheaper somewhere else.

I give them some credit for not resorting to the ususal suspects since I don't think these games have been bundled to death, but the lack of tiers or happy hour or dollar days or whatever just makes it a pass for me since I don't love all these games to death so much that I can't just wait for them to show up in another bundle cheaper.
 
Real World Racing, Vitrium and Continue are repeats for me.  An extra Real World Racing is actually really nice for multiplayer.  The other two, not so much.  What I need instead is a second copy of Riptide for multiplayer.

 
Surprisingly the thing keeping me from buying it right off the top is the racing games. I'll gladly play the water one maybe but just not into racing games.

 
I only have one of these, and a couple are on my wishlist. While I'm not a fan of the pricepoint (and no lower tier), I don't mind paying it this time because lots of them look like games I'll actually play.

It looks like an all-or-nothing approach to bundles. I wonder if Casey had a hand in these and which direction we'll see Blink go in the next few bundles.

Glad you like the bundle!

Casey has been inactive for a long time. He was not involved. You can definitely expect more bundles like this one from us!

 
Huh, that's not a bad bundle. I'm not interested in the racing games, already own Vitrum, and Aces Wild has already been abandoned by the dev and left with some annoying spawn / crash bugs.

4 out of 8 games... argh.

And for those in EU it will be like ~$7, since taxes/VAT. Since $5 is at my limit, makes this easy pass.

Thankfully Humble doesn't add taxes, but pays out of price you set :)

It's not difficult to get someone to gift you the bundle for $5 though, especially on CAG where americans dominate the deal section.

That kills impulse purchases thought and can't send gift money using debit card means I have to transfer money to Paypal which can take days. Paypal isn't really used in Finland, so it doesn't make sense to keep balance.

 
If a bundle is $5 and has 2+ games that I own in it, it's pretty much an instant pass for me unless the games are extremely high quality.

Now if it's $2 or less, that's a different story.

Think I only have Vitrum....not sure i want the rest, but a decent amount of nonrepeats.

Same here. At $5, just owing one game already makes it significantly less appealing.

$0.50/game is my "buy it because it looks interesting" impulse-buy price, and $0.20 is my "don't own that"/"has cards" impulse-buy price. More than that and I have to look closer before deciding whether or not to buy the bundle.

Riptide GP2 and Vector were both in the Humble Mobile Bundle 4, so you might have the android versions already. 

Vector has pretty shallow gameplay, it's good on mobile but I think it'd suck on PC.

Riptide however, is hard to control on mobile. So a PC version would be cool, especially with the added multi-player.

Odds are though both these games will eventually hit a Humble PC and Android bundle.

Uh, don't you get Steam keys in Android and Mobile Bundles when they get released there?

So... there should be keys in your purchase page. You should go check.

 
PC and Android and Android Humble Bundles are the same thing. They just added the PC part later on to clarify the distinction between them and Mobile bundles because it was confusing, and still kind of is.
 
The problem with Blink and $5 tiers is that in the past some of the titles they bundled for the first time later showed up in cheaper bundles - sometimes before I could even offload the cards I idled. So at this point I'd rather wait for IG, Humble, Bundlestars, or whomever. And if they don't make cheaper bundles I don't consider it a big loss...I've never heard of any of these games anyway (which is not to say I don't possibly already own some of them).
 
The not-problem with it being a $5 single tier is that there are at least 9 games included which means the ppg is low enough that you-know-who.com will stock up on keys (I checked against the Card 2 and Embiggened bundles). The not-not-problem with that is the total point cost, but hey.

well i buy it cause my rockies lost the othern ight plus i aint wiatign for it imight died by then heeh

 
I am relatively new to bundles outside of the humblebundle ones. So for me this bundle was the first bundle in a long time, where I didn't own any of the games and wanted every game. I would rather have a $5 bundle with 9 games that I want then a $3 bundle with 3 games that I want.
