I mean...I paid a dollar. For this one and the second one. a Penny for the first one.

Yea, I don't feel guilty.

Hey, at least you paid for it. There's some people who would rather steal/pirate/whatever the games.

Also, you can increase the money you want to pay for it at a later time, there's a link for that in your Humble Bundle pages.

and think of it from their standpoint, even just one cent is still one cent more then what they'd have if you never bought it. The whole point of this is trust in principle of economics that everyone has a reservation price, where if its cheap enough someone will buy it, then rely on raw numbers to make money.

Yea, I remember the first one they did they had some guy download something like 2 terrabytes worth of the games (repeatedly of course). Its not that they just give out these "licenses" to downlaod the games, they also keep track of how much each "license" downloads to see if they really are sharing thier own license or not and seeing if it limits pirating or not. Which, despite that one guy mentioned previously, they're results surprisingly supported the presumption that people WILL pay for the games and they WON'T pirate it out to other people.

really? I heard that they found 25 percent still pirated the thing. Honestly it makes no sense, you can pay anything, you can dig out change from the cushions and use that, still people feel they are entitled to free games.

Please tell me this is not developing into another "piracy is bad" thread...

Yea, that one guy. But the overwhelming majority didn't do that.
