I would have tossed in a few extra bucks if I knew it was going to charity!

#42You know I never thought too much about Cards Against Humanity before this, it always popped up as a best seller on Amazon but I didn't feel like giving it a whirl. This story alone, is making me very intrigued on what the game is like to play.
You can get a pretty good idea from the home page, where the header shows sample card pairs. It looks very similar to "Apples to Apples", if you've played that.

#43I 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.
We made those things with our own hands.

It's an adult version of Apples to Apples. Think MadLibs, except one player readers the "madlib" and the other players draw from their hand to answer.
Example:
"Alternative medicine is now embracing the curative powers of ______ " was read aloud in my group.
I played the card that reads "Literally eating shit" and won the round, because the question reader liked my answer the most.

One comment: Myself and others were initially confused by the layout of the page into thinking that CAH had turned a massive loss. It's only when you get to the bottom that there was any indication of sales.
For the infographic?
I am not the parent poster, but for me, yes, the infographic!

#47I 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 :)
You are a jerk for calling them jerks. If it is "pay what you want" then you are invited to do exactly that. If you want to pay nothing, you may do so. It is perfectly inside the rules of the event.

#48CAH is one of the funniest and most enjoyable games I've ever played. I was shocked to discover it was pay what you want, and the cards were completely open to print for myself.

Bought it myself off Amazon for $25 for a Secret Santa gift, and it's well worth it. I did see this on reddit, I believe from someone who paid $0. I really hope it's real. http://i.imgur.com/8v2vc.jpg
It isn't. That person put his name in as "Huge Asshole."

Developer for the site here. We definitely talked about this in the post mortem. Do you have any specific changes that you would have made to make the process more clear?
I don't remember having any trouble with actually ordering the pack. I do remember trying to bump the payment to $10 and not being able to. Adding an option to change the amount paid during checkout or making it much more obvious if there was one may have helped your "haul".
Note that the humble bundle actually lets you increase your contribution "after" you've paid as well. They might be worth emulating there.
