While I totally understand what you mean, I think that these guys are as good as you're going to get. Publishing is a necessary step in a game's life, and publishers are perfectly entitled to get money for the job. For some reason, your response to these bundles puts me in mind of someone boycotting a hot-dog stall because their first concern is making money, not providing you with something to eat.

What can I say, I've got spoiled by HIB

Because Sanctum seemed like a nice game.

Sanctum is a Rather Good Game Jack But it lacks any sort of Community, i've only ever seen a few people online and we had to meet up threw the group because at that point the game didn't support a lobby from what i've been told it dose now.

Actually, the Humble Indie Bundle's primary concern is also, to an extent, profit. In April, they received $4.7 million in venture capital from Sequoia Capital. They're pretty clearly in the business of making money - if they were operating solely out of the good of their hearts, why would they need $4.7 million of corporate backing? They make more than enough money to keep the bundles going as it is.

Now, this isn't to say that there's anything wrong with that, or that the Indie Royale is necessarily any better, but don't fool yourself into believing that the HIB isn't mainly interested in making money.

Certainly, it'll be interesting to see what comes out of that whopper investment.

Just incase people forgot or haven't read there also Free DLC's for Sanctum


Also it's kinda a mix opinion related to most of theses bundles, to be honest i saw a video of the one containing CC, which made me want to buy CC so it's also a good way to Advertise games as well as get income for the developers, But again you don't really know how much goes towards them.
