The latest Humble Bundle launched with great fanfare last night, offering gamers a compilation of critically-acclaimed indie titles on a 'name your own price' basis. But it turns out that gamers are actually quite a generous bunch - in just over 12 hours, the promotion has nearly reached sales of $1 million.At time of going to press, Humble Bundle 8 has raised over $957,000 on over 168,000 purchases. The highest contributor right now is Mojang's Markus 'Notch' Persson, who personally contributed $5,000 to the cause.
The selection of titles is pretty incredible, too. For any price, customers can purchase
Dear Esther,
Little Inferno,
Thomas Was Alone,
Awesomenauts and
Capsized, along with soundtracks for each title. If you pay over the average selling price, you also get
Hotline Miami,
Proteus and the
Proteus soundtrack. All are DRM-free, of course.
