We're Humble Indie Bundle 11: creators of Monaco, Guacamelee, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Giana Sisters, and The Swapper. Ask us anything!

Jeffrey, do you thing this "Bundle Bubble" will ever burst? Is there any sign of customer fatigue?

EDIT: I can't spell.

I think there was a very brief time when we were first starting out that the Humble Bundle model was so unique and novel that we could have theoretically put out just about anything and seen huge results. That bubble has long since popped. Now the model is no longer novel and we are only rewarded when we create a bundle that our customers truly want. That is the way it should be.

Do you think bundles actually hurt "indie" games sales, as I know because of them I don't buy certain games when I suspect they'll be in a bundle within 6 months?

I might be a little biased... but no. At this point we have done so many experiments over the years that it is pretty clear that cannibalization is not an issue. Even as bundles start selling millions of copies. Even with expensive AAA titles.

Humble Bundle Team: Would you consider accepting dogecoin for the bundles and your store?

Yes! However, we need a reputable company like Coinbase to handle all of the legal logistics for us and accept all liability for it. That is why it took us so long to accept bitcoin. Similar to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, while we love the technology, we hate subtle tax and money laundering laws, and are just not prepared for the huge distraction a court date could be.

Parsap/Humble Team - Is there a reason HIB's are pushed out with Linux ports either missing or in beta, why can they not be pushed back to a later bundle which will inevitably come? It's not like HIB's will stop anytime soon.

It is important to remember that we are actually the reason that many games are ported to Linux. It is painful for us and our reputation among developers to convince someone to drop everything and port their game to Linux, or hire a Linux porter, or have us port it in house for them... and then despite good faith efforts on all parties, it just doesn't happen in the exact right amount of time.

It really sucks to see a developer doing everything right, following all of our advice, and then be like "sorry... could you uh, go ahead and move to this other surprise bundle? Thaaaaanks."

We do indeed do this sometimes, and it really, really sucks. This might have already happened to one of the games in question.

Hey Humble Team! First off, what a great thing you guys have going, game deals for charity!

How do you guys approach perspective game devs, or do a lot of them come to you? Obviously you have done bundles with some pretty big companies as well as bundles with pretty small indie devs. Are there differences when dealing with the two?

Many developers come to us, but we also have a team of people reaching out and convincing developers to bundle. It is particularly difficult with the Humble Weekly Sale... That is a lot of slots to fill! We do get thousands of submissions from developers, but the vast majority do not meet the extremely subjective threshold of awesomeness for us.

AAA companies and indies are night and day. Indies tend to have far fewer lawyers and people involved in any decision making process in general. ;) It has been extremely awesome working with giant companies as well.

In working with Humble Bundle, I imagine that you have made some great connections with game studios to get their products on a bundle. Is there one memory/experience in particular that stands out?

I have fond memories of intentionally losing a few disc golf games with Andy Schatz so that he would feel sorry for us and put Monaco in a bundle. Now that he has already bundled with us, this year's annual disc golf game will go very differently!
