Humble Indie Bundle Update: Source Code Promise [May 08, 2010, 1:41 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Humble Indie Bundle pay-what-you-want sale of five indie games has been a rousing success, as the organizers reveal that just a half-week in, over 60,000 contributions have amounted to more than $500,000 in revenue, $150,000 of which will go to charity. They also have a blog post noting that Linux users contribute twice as much as Windows users (with Mac users splitting the difference), but add that the average Windows user donation has been creeping up since they've been revealing the average paid by platform. There also turns out to be a subtle message in The Humble Indie Bundle Trailer at the 1:17 mark, where you can see it says: "If we raise over $1,000,000 USD, then Gish, Penumbra Overture, and Lugaru will release their source code."

Tron You are a cluelesss fool. It does not cost *any* game company anwyhere near 300 million to make a game. *any* game. Maybe 50 million and that is on the really wastfull over staffed mmo's that take 4 years to develope.
Out of the 10 most expensive games listed there, all but 2 are $50 million or higher (on up to $100 million). I don't think it includes things like MMOs, for instance, I'm sure blizzard has spend more on WoW than $100 million by now.
