    2. @ceruleanspark What if I told you people are complaining about this? So much so, people are thinking of boycotting Humble Bundle because of this.

      1. @scribble I would make a derisory comment about Linux users.

    3. @ceruleanspark " Please note: the Humble THQ Bundle is Windows-only and requires Steam to play. Sign up to get notified of Humble Indie Bundle 7!" Well, another one to pass up on. I remember when everything from them was cross-platform, and not Windows-only or Linux-through-WINE. It's a shame, really =/

      1. @omni If it's any consolation, the rumor is that THQ is going bankrupt and this is their last, desperate bid to claw their way out of it.

        1. @ceruleanspark Seeing how I can't remember having liked any of their games, and all their stuff appears to be Windows-only, there won't be any loss for me. At least the Humble Bundle guys were nice enough to make a BIG HUGE BANNER about it being Windows-only which you can't possibly miss :P

    4. @xrevan86 At least they had a huge banner and we'll still get enough Humble Bundles. The reply to this is easy: Vote with your wallet. If you want them to do more bundles which also run on Linux, buy the Linux bundles but not the other ones :P

      1. @omni I just did a 70:30 split between charity and the humble bundle guys. I'll probably never actually install any of the games.

        1. @ceruleanspark I'm not sure why you're actually doing that then, but yeah, charity is good. I didn't spend that much on the last bundle, and forgot to give the Humble Bundle guys something (I completely looked over their slider, for some reason), but at least I tried to minimize what I cost them by using the torrents :x And, yay, soundtracks :P

          1. @omni Well, the Humble Bundle is an endeavour I wish to see continue, and the charities are ones I'll happily endorse, so it's just a trivially easy method to donate to those two causes

            1. @ceruleanspark Fair enough.

    5. @ceruleanspark I'll probably buy it for the music. It's not like my computer can even run these.

      1. @fortecadenza Note that the SR3 soundtrack is NOT the radio station music.

        1. @ceruleanspark Wouldn't expect it to be.

          Thursday, 29-Nov-12 19:28:43 UTC from MayonnaiseHD
          1. @fortecadenza Me either, but not everyone gets that it'd be a licensing nightmare to do taht.
