As always, pay-what-you-want. Pay at least a dollar, get Steam keys. Enjoy

just made a purchase. drm-free so no steam keys.
You get 2 separate steam keys (one for Alan Wake and one for American Nightmare) as long as you pay $1 or more. You also have separate DRM free direct downloads for each accessible.
I'll buy that for a dollar.i'll buy anything for $1
bought and activated
thanks
Alan Wake is a good game but the DLC was not that great. American Nightmare is even worse than the DLC and nothing but repetitive gameplay. for 1 buck it is fine though. lol
no...Any gfwl?

Thanks I've been meaning to try this out and for a dollar I finally will! Actually I think I'll donate more than just one dollar since that just feels cheap(not trying to guilt anyone, just admitting my own guilt.)
It's all charity. You aren't buying a game.. You're giving money. Any amount is a good thing.
Oh, I gave 75% to Remedy, 25% to Humble, and 0% to charity.
I'm pretty sure I bought a game.
Most charities are a scam that only give out a small percentage of the money they receive. Give your money to the game devs.
It's still charity.
It's a matter of perspective, but I think viewing it from that angle is somewhat disrespectful: Paying more than the mandatory minimum is only "charity" in the sense that tipping your waitress, bartender, and delivery boy are also charity. The word may be appropriate in a sense, but I also think the connotation that you're "doing them a favor" does something to denigrate the valuable direct services they're providing. Here, I use "services" to include Remedy developing the game/etc. as well as Humble Bundle courting developers, packaging things up with bonuses, and distributing games in such a humble and consumer-friendly manner.
The word "charity" isn't derogatory in and of itself, but it carries the connotation of giving for nothing in return. Applying it to someone who actually gave you something and/or did you a service is like telling them everything they brought to the table means nothing to you. It's an ungrateful slap in the face, like saying, "Well, it's not like you ever did anything for me...but here you go." I know you probably don't mean it in such a pejorative sense, but I'd hate for the developers and Humble Bundle to feel like that's what we think of them.
I just went in for their suggested default of $25 (split up in the default manner), and I'm impressed enough by the quality of the bundle (bonuses, etc.) that I don't feel at all like I did them a favor. (I really wish I had been paying more attention in the past, so I could have gotten some of the older bundles as well.) It feels more like a fair business exchange on mutually friendly, cooperative terms (compared to adversarial power plays like DRM, etc.), with a bit of money set aside for actual charities. Speaking of actual charities, Child's Play definitely qualifies, but I feel uneasy even applying the term to the EFF, since giving to them feels like a partially self-interested investment in the future.
You're being disrespectful to the people who donated a little amount by saying that. Any amount from 1 penny to 1000$ should be treated the same. No one has to give any of there money to this fund raiser. The fact that they did gets my respect.

Interesting rationalization. But if developers get all of $0.33 (1/3 of a dollar) too frequently Humble Bundles will start to suck and/or go away. There's always someone that ruins it for everyone.
