The Humble Indie Bundle, a six-game pay-anything collection, hit $1.million, goes open-source, gets extention!<\/a><\/p>\n

The nitty gritty: as of the time of writing, nearly 116,000 people have donated nearly $1.05 million, nearly 31 percent of which will be going to the Bundle’s selected charities the EFF and children’s hospital focused Child’s Play. Full techie stats are available here, but that amounts to roughly $137,000 to each developer in a week, all of whom had seen sales of their years-old games dwindle. <\/p>\n

To celebrate the landmark, the devs are extending the sale for the rest of this week for any latecomers, and are beginning to make good on their GPL-licensed open source promise, beginning with Wolfire’s Lugaru HD. Gish and Penumbra will soon be following suit, and Aquaria has made the surprise announcement that they’re coming on-board with the open source promise, as well.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PORTAL, the clever game of twisty physics couched in black humour, is free for download (with the installation of Steam) until May 24th!<\/a><\/p>\n

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it’s free. End of story.
\nWell, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they’re entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.
\n“I have a reason,” some of you are probably typing into an angry email. “You see, sir, I own a Mac.”
\nWell guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
