The average contribution sky rocketed after they posted that something like 17,000 people bought it for 1 penny...

There was an article about it on slashdot

Is the dick in my ear ,or is my ear on the dick?

Blade's high.

[Despero]

Very much so.

I Take your Penny and raise you Ten Dollars for five games.

the sad part is i didn't play any of the games yet.

Penumbra and Aquaria are fucking awesome. Lugaru is too once you get into it.

Oh, and dont forget that they added a 6th game, Samorost2. That turned out a lot better than I thought it would...got through the first chunk of the game last night.

I already have World of Goo, but I want Aquaria. If I get it though I'll get it on Steam for full price because otherwise I feel like I'm ripping the developer off.

Buying it off of steam wouldnt make a difference. Its choose your own price, meaning you could have payed whatever you wanted. Also, they let you choose how much money goes to the developer and the two foundations. So, if you wanted, the money you pay could go solely to the developer.

Well I want to pay $20 for Aquaria.

Queer.

Queer.

I'm a faggot because I'd rather play a game then steal it? Ok.

Wrong thread, this isn't the piracy thread. Stop derailing threads. This thread is, in fact, about choosing exactly how much money to give to independent developers. Besides, I've already said I would never pirate from an indy developer. If I didn't think that most indy games were shit I would have totally bought that pack...

Most is the important word there......

For every good indy game there's 30 shitty platformers without a hint of originality, and then another 20 artsy games that have no gameplay appeal. I played enough fucking platformers in elementary school to last me a lifetime, and 30 seconds of non-game is enough for me thank you very much.

Mount & Blade, GMod, NS, and the EV series are all examples of amazing indy games. I can't even begin to count how much money I've wasted on shitty indy games. Unless it looks really fucking good or has a demo I can try out first I wont even pay a penny. They ruin the market for the talented developers, these games being an example. If the market wasn't flooded with shit I would give them a try because they have a lot of hype.

Trine was shit, and that fucking bob's spaceshit crap that was all over steam for a while was garbage.

You're right about both of those. However, steam is definitely not where you should be browsing for indie titles. I can see why you would think most of them are shit if thats the case.
