#2I am surprised there were jerks that paid 0. Really? You can't afford give them five bucks? You spend more on beer OR lunch OR coffee in Starbucks if you feel kinky. At least humble bundle not allow you to pay 0 :)

Makes me feel better about just paying the normal full price of $25 to get a copy for my brother. The game is just so great, and definitely worth supporting.

No kidding, I understand being frugal, but in that case, print them yourself and take the time to cut them out. Shockingly, the game is still just as fun.

I knew there'd be some, but 20% is a miserably high proportion. Does anyone know if that percentage is similar to how other well-known examples of pay-what-you-want turned out? Are there any studies into the propensity to freeload among anonymous groups?

#7Interesting. Even though around 20% of people didn't pay anything, they were still able to turn a profit.
I'd love to compare the results of this with other 'pay-what-you-want' schemes.
Edit: "We did all of the web design, video production, motion design, and copy writing ourselves, so these were free." I wonder if the cost of this would technically have put them at a loss (I suspect not).

#8I wonder what the effect would be if you'd simply state the production cost per unit on the ordering page, while still allowing people to pay zero $.

It would almost have to. $70k is not even one man year's worth of effort from someone skilled at any one of those things individually.

#10I think it's absolutely great that they've donated all the proceeds to Wikipedia :) Congratulations. It's heartwarming to know that although there are some free loaders, you were still made a pretty penny.
On the other hand, how come all the design work, copy writing, etc are considered free? That's just masking the actual cost of the product.
