I blame the THQ bundle. Seriously, all that awesome for just a $1 minimum. After that all these previously amazing indie games just look like flash toys.

The THQ bundle was but an attempt to boost the stock value of the company by showing people had interest in the games before filing for bankruptcy.

It was real real sub par in comparison of other bundles, it was crippled by being windows only and steam only on linux, it had no bonus content and didn't feature anything fresh. Also developers of those games mostly didn't see a dime of this.

Bankruptcy? What does Humble Bundles financial situation look like?

That was the only humble bundle I didn't buy. I do not agree with your conclusion at all.

well, that sucks. I can't even get it to run on my Mint install, but I think my problem was my graphic card driver,
