Why Are People Pirating A Charity Game?

Last week, a pack went on sale that let you name your own price for five great indie games, all in the name of charity. Know what a ton of people then went and did? Pirated the thing. Wonderful.

To recap, this was a pack that let you pay what you want. With all proceeds going to charity. So you could pay $1 and get five of the best indie games going around, and donate to a good cause, all at the same time. $1!

Even that was too much for many, though, with publishers Wolfire - whose David Rosen penned a great piece on the matter last week - estimating that at least 25% of users got the games for free. And that's a conservative estimate, since it includes only those who scammed the games off a forum or website, and not off BitTorrent sites.

Some days, you're reminded how awful people can really be. Today is one of those days.

É uma beca de hipocrisia...

Humble Indie Bundle Breaks a Million Bucks

The Humble Indie Bundle "Pay What You Want" sale has brought in over $1 million in just seven days, including $350,000 for charity, and now four of the games in the bundle are going open source as a way of saying thanks.

The Humble Indie Bundle is a smashing good deal: Six top-quality games from independent developers for the low, low price of whatever you feel like paying. It was a little disheartening to learn that even with the opportunity to pay a tiny amount and shoot it all to charity, some people still insisted on piracy, but as Wolfire Games revealed yesterday, all in all the sale went over not too badly.

"The Humble Indie Bundle experiment has been a massive success beyond our craziest expectations," the studio said. "In just over seven days, 124,072 generous contributors have put down an incredible $1,135,206. Of this, contributors chose to allocate 30.93 percent to charity: $351,094 for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play Charity."

In response, four of the five games in the bundle - Aquaria, Gish, Lugara HD and Penumbra Overture - are transitioning to open source. "We are preparing the sources right now and will be releasing them ASAP. We spent last night preparing Lugaru and it is available now," Wolfire said. "The code is still a little rough (no Visual Studio project yet, for instance) but hopefully with the help of the community we can rapidly make it more accessible to everyone."

"The games will be free as in 'free speech,' not as in 'free beer,'" the studio noted. "It is the underlying code that will be made available to everyone."

Nothing warms my heart like a happy ending to a good story. And this one's not over just yet: The Humble Indie Bundle "Pay What You Want" sale is still ongoing at wolfire.com/humble.

Acho que essa versão é da Alemanha. Deve cortar em sangue/entranhas, esse tipo de coisas.

nao sei é a versão (exclusivamente) alemã, mas sim a cut é a versão censurada

a uncut é mais cara
