Humble Indie Bundle 3 - First 9 hours of chat support

[manyamaggot]

the vast majority of the first thousand sales were from macs , dont know why , because a few hours later pc was the leader by far (despite the low average)

[JohannesShadow]

@manyamaggot I think that's just because, unlike the stats on the left, the pie-chart didn't update automatically, and I forgot to reload it until a few hours in. (see description). 

[Kirkpad]

lol awesome, so much money flowing in.

[AnonymousORG]

The Support is doing realy great work. :)

You guys are awesome. :)

[mcmamac]

i like the pay-what-you-want model but minimum should be $1 surely, 1cent is ridiculous

[JohannesShadow]

@mcmamac Adding a minimum price would undermine the whole point of the bundle: We believe people are inherently good, and generous. So far this has held true (at the time of this writing the average donation overall is just under $5.) and we will continue the bundles the same way as we have done so far.

[Vednier]

@mcmamac Well, in IndieRoyale they did something like this - minimum price as 2$ fot bundle#1 and #2 and 3$ for next one

[jgiubardo]

What was the most interesting/funny question or conversation you had in those 9 hours?

[janthran]

@jgiubardo I'd be interested to see the answer to this as well.

Paid $10 for 2 sets, one for me, one for my son. I felt like a cheap bastard until I saw what the average Windows user was paying.

[blenderpanzi]

@Krakn3Dfx Windows users are no standard. Linux FTW! :)

Who pays $2,718 for 5 games?

[JohannesShadow]

@Agent2313 Have you gone to the site and watched the video explaining what the humble indie bundles are about? anyone could get these games for 1 cent if they wanted to (that's what pay-what-you-want means), However some people like supporting indie developers and charity enough to pay more than the bare-knuckle minimum. I could certainly think of worse things to be charitable towards.

[Agent2313]

@JohannesShadow I know it's for charity too, but $2,718... I haven't had that much money in my life and probably wont for a couple more years.

[blenderpanzi]

@Agent2313 @notch is the guy behind Minecraft.

[HSSW100]

@Agent2313 fucking idiot noob

[soulripper030792]

ok so windows users are greedy bastards?

[JohannesShadow]

@soulripper030792 Could be, or it could be that windows users buy more gifts for their friends and pay little for those gifts. it's interesting though that this trend has been consistent for all bundles so far (search wikipedia for 'humble indie bundle' for the exact stats)

[MuletTheGreat]

First 9 hours of chat? Who cares!

I'm watching the money counters, graph, averadges and leaderboards!

[NzLeet]

Respect for being able to keep that up for 9 hours.

[ThePeppeh]

Lol cool
