New Humble Bundle (not a main bundle):

Minimum of $25 to receive anything for contributing which is causing them to get a lot of complaints on Facebook.
I already have half the games from old bundles so no point buying this one.

Edit: Note that 100% of the money raised in this bundle is going to charity, no profit for the game devs or HB.

can see why people are complaining, anyone who has kept tabs on previous HB's will undoubtedly have at least some of these. Locking the entire package up behind a $25 charge doesnt make much sense to me, but what do i know..

Their reasoning is that they are raising money for the charity and the games are just a bonus. They've previously done the same for another charity where you received nothing for your donation and they raised over $1m.

Edit: Their comment about it on FB:

Thanks for the feedback all! This is a special promotion different from our normal bundles in support of Speed Demo Archive's charity speedrunning marathon, Summer Games Done Quick, which is now live on Twitch. Earlier this year, they ran Awesome Games Done Quick which raised more than $1 million for Prevent Cancer Foundation - and that was raised without anyone getting any games!

We worked with these awesome indie game developers who generously are offering their games for no profit in support of this event and Doctors Without Borders. People can still contribute anything to support the cause, but those who contribute $25 or more just get a little gift from these devs.

We understand this may not be for everyone, but we just wanted to clarify what this was about. We our still cooking up our regular bundles!

Re-reading their post makes me think the $1m+ raised wasn't anything to do with them but simply the Speed Runners.
