Humble Bundle #2 (Braid, Cortex Command, Machinarium, Osmos, Revenge of the Titans)
- Thread starter hoofrog
- Start date
[quote name='Rollobobo']I'm still trying to download Machinarium but having no luck it keeps stopping at 1% downloaded....anyone else having trouble[/QUOTE]
I have been trying to download it for hours. Chatting with them they said the server is having trouble dealing with all the downloads. Hopefully they will fix it soon. I am already done downloading all the other ones.
And I only paid $2 because I am a seriously broke college student and couldn't afford more. I would have gladly paid a lot more if I had it.

[quote name='Gothic Walrus']There is no "right" amount, but there really isn't an excuse for paying so little that you don't cover the Paypal fees and bandwidth cost. I'd say $1 for the bare minimum; personally, I'm probably going to put in $5 or $10.
You're comparing apples to giraffes. In other words, that doesn't make any sense at all, because that situation has no parallel to this one.
You're either a complete
ing idiot, or a troll. Probably both.
The reason people are mad at you isn't because of some twisted semantic argument - it's because you paid aing penny and have spent all day trying to defend that. I'm not asking for overwhelming altruism - I'm asking for "don't be a dick and pay at least enough to cover the costs they incur by running the offer."[/QUOTE]
I love how people miss the point of these types of things completely. When I was in high school we used to do car wash fundraisers pay what you want no minimum donation.
Sure some people didn't pay enough to cover the water and cleaning materials, but we didn't wash their cars any less or complain about it. We certainly didn't have a bunch of fools not even involved in our cause standing on the sidewalk heckling those people!
When you do these types of things you do them for a certain reason and with a certain spirit.
Thank god these devs and charities didn't hire some of you sad CAGs as their reps! Imagine that "donate more or you suck troll!" - way to raise money for a good cause!

[quote name='Nova_01']With no explanation as to why you feel this way, the opinion isn't very worthwhile.
If the issue is them losing money due to the cost of fee and bandwidth, then I don't see how there is no parallel when ten cents in either situation goes just as far.
Is it also rude to download free demos one isn't paying directly for when we all know about the loses they incur from bandwidth.[/QUOTE]
The point discount came from a third-party retailer. Microsoft had no say in it, and it didn't affect their pricing...and they still made a profit, because odds are whoever discounted the points would have paid Microsoft whatever the wholesale rate for them was.
Again, not comparable at all.
Same thing with the demos - those are free in anticipation of future sales generated by the demo. I think we all know damn well that the vast majority of people pirating or paying a penny have no intention of ever giving money to the bundle.

You're still completely missing the point. It's not "donate more or you suck" - it's you're not donating AT ALL. You're just taking. Taking the product for what's going to be a loss to the provider and then bragging about it isn't in the "certain reason" or "certain spirit" behind the promotion.
Notice how I'm not bitching out the people who are throwing in a dollar or two? That's because at least some fraction of what they're paying is going to the developers or charities.
Like I've already said, nothing stops you from paying that little. I just don't see how you can justify it.

I am not bragging. You keep insisting I am bragging. Goodness, next time I do this I will simply just thank the OP to avoid this! Everyone is posting "IN PAID X AMOUNT" - no one is getting on them for "bragging" - I simply did the same to acknowledge to the OP I took advantage of the deal. Nothing more, nothing less.
The problem here is not that anyone is "bragging" it is that YOU think people should donate at least a dollar or whatever arbitrary number you choose and YOU are getting upset when people don't.
I have yet to see someone brag about anything.
I'm donating a penny - are they technically losing money? maybe - not my fault though.
If I think the change I throw into the salvation army bucket isn't going to cover their operating costs am I horrible for throwing it in anyways? If a charity offers me a free cup of coffee or snack to listen to their 5 minute speech and I decide not to donate does that make me horrible?
The reality you don't seem to get is that they have their budget and cost covered every step of the way. They throw the net and reel in what they can. Just like any sort of advertising. Companies lose money demoing games but they gain it back when just a fraction of those demoing purchase. Same principle.
The only good thing about some of you guys stubborness is that it keeps this thread at the top of the page so others who are Grinches like me will keep seeing and donate!

Maybe they don't have any intention of giving money to the bundle, but they may have never had an interest that they will now develop and create future sales on the strength of. It is VERY comparable to the idea of demos.
And many more demos are downloaded than the actual number of sales they help push, I'm sure, even if this is purely anecdotal. And when the games these demos help move are 1 dollar games, what then is the difference between the price of the purchase and the costs they have incurred from the bandwidth of these downloads (the game and the demo) and the transaction fees that might be applicable.
No one can come up with a reasonable minimum price either, because there is none. Just argue about what is not right with faulty logic that doesn't remain consistent throughout.
These people have an idea of "fairness" that doesn't lend itself to the purpose of this site at all. Nothing immoral has gone on as long as a price was paid.
I think the people arguing for their "losses" are both making mountains of mole hills, and thankfully not in anyones marketing department, because they clearly don't understand a bigger picture. Or that this situation is only unique in that there's a choice given to the consumer. Otherwise, the idea of taking a loss for a future gain is still in play here.

Paying 1 penny for this is basically the same thing as sharing your download link with friends. Both are possible (even though there are channels they can take to try and close those holes) and both are using their resources without contributing anything to the cause (again because they don't get that penny you "paid")
Paying 2/10th of a penny per game is insulting. The fact people are trying to defend that action is disgusting.

if you were to throw 1 penny into a Salvation Army bucket, I'm pretty sure they would be upset, even if they put on a happy face.
I agree with everyone. Don't be a douche, donate a dollar. No one here is too poor to donate a dollar for a bunch of games. You're just being selfish by donating a penny. That's really what it comes down to.

I would argue a donation that doesn't at least cover the basic costs should be considered unethical. Like all possibly unethical behavior it is likely to be judged by those who are unethical in different ways. At the end of the day you are free to do what you want, but don't necessarily expect positive posts just because something isn't against the rules.
[quote name='TimTucker']In for one for $1. Hard to justify more right now given that I have a backlog at the moment large enough that I still haven't even touched last year's bundle.[/QUOTE]
Don't feel too bad. Revenge of the Titans and Osmos wouldn't even run for me, Cortex Command is incomplete, Machinarium is pretty terrible (unless you like point+click games, and even then you probably wouldn't like this), and you've probably already played Braid.

There is a huge difference between doing something legally and in a licensed manner, no matter how douchey some of you idiots think it is, and doing something illegal.
What you guys don't understand is at the the end of the day Developer X is going to say "We donated X amount of games to charity at X RETAIL value" and are going to take a tax deduction for that amount...they get a positive benefit in their book no matter what.
I don't really care about being "criticized" - I'm not trying to defend my actions against people who are illogical.
The point here is twofold:
1. You do not know the intention of people here. If I do not like a "gift" I get for a donation it won't affect my decision to donate or not. How many people pay a penny to try out the gift and then donate later? No one knows that, you guys are making assumptions you have no backing on. Sure a lot of people will donate a penny and nothing more which leads me to...
2. These devs are getting a huge benefit here even if they get 1000000 people who donate a penny. They know it, it's damn smart business on their part. It seems a ton of you are unable to process that in your "charitable" minds.
I'll keep my charitable contribution to Child Play's limited to the Fund/Raffle and hope I can sleep at night.

Sorry, Amazon returned the following error:
Transaction amount must be greater than "Recipient Fee" liability
This seems to show up for some very small credit card purchases on certain
credit cards.
I believe this is because Amazon doesn't allow transactions where they lose
money. Please increase your donation amount slightly or give PayPal a try. I
am very sorry for this inconvenience!

Again, never said that, and not planning to. I've been here longer than you.
I guess I expected better from the community based on the huge amounts we've raised for Child's Play in the past. Of course, I also know i shouldn't extrapolate the actions of a few assholes to the community at large, so...I won't.
Most of the people here would jump on pricing mistakes or try to worm their way to the lowest price they can; I've done that myself plenty of times. Given the causes here, though, I don't think it's that unreasonable to try and encourage people just this once not to give in to that side. And I know that, for the most part, that's probably going to be what happens.
There are always a few, though...

Both cases rely on assuming you'll be a decent human being. That didn't happen last year, and probably won't this year either.
I hate this preening nonsense so much I couldn't in good conscience donate real money to them. Maybe I'm too touchy but damn.[/QUOTE]
I haven't seen a single person claim they're donating a lot of money. Lord knows I haven't. Just people saying they're paying reasonable amounts, or a penny.
[quote name='Sporadic']And please don't try to say that this is what this site is about (I have been here pretty much since the beginning). This isn't fatwallet.[/QUOTE]
Again, never said that, and not planning to. I've been here longer than you.
I guess I expected better from the community based on the huge amounts we've raised for Child's Play in the past. Of course, I also know i shouldn't extrapolate the actions of a few assholes to the community at large, so...I won't.
Most of the people here would jump on pricing mistakes or try to worm their way to the lowest price they can; I've done that myself plenty of times. Given the causes here, though, I don't think it's that unreasonable to try and encourage people just this once not to give in to that side. And I know that, for the most part, that's probably going to be what happens.
There are always a few, though...

And in case you havent figured it out...that is basically the same argument you are using to try to justify only donating 1 penny

I was talking to the guy above your quote, not you (I was using your post to answer his question so I didn't have to retype it)
[quote name='Nova_01']No one can come up with a reasonable minimum price either, because there is none. Just argue about what is not right with faulty logic that doesn't remain consistent throughout.
These people have an idea of "fairness" that doesn't lend itself to the purpose of this site at all. Nothing immoral has gone on as long as a price was paid. [/QUOTE]

Has anyone got Machaniarium to download completely....it gets to 3.8 megabytes downloaded and just freezes at that point....it has done this since I bought it around noon today. I have retried downloading it a few times now and keep running into the same issue. Every other game downloaded, but not Machanarium. Anybody having the same problem?!?!
[quote name='BustaUppa']Generally speaking are the system requirements pretty low on these? I don't have anything resembling a power gaming rig, but I can run Super Meat Boy and the Telltale Sam & Max games without a problem.[/QUOTE]
From what I understand all of these are 2D and should run fine on anything that isn't 10-15 years old.
Osmos might be taxing with all that's going on.

Same thing here. From what I read, the guys behind this deal know about the issue (it's just with the Machinarium download) and are working it out with the file-serving company.
