Hi people. As many of you are aware, I've spent the last month or so slaving over hot research for a new article on Humble Bundle stuff.
With the recent non-cross-platform Humble Bundle promotions, now seemed like a good time to try to get a big picture view of cross-platform support across all promotions and see how everything fits together in context.
In this article, I look at platform debuts and existing cross platform titles, internal and external porting, non-cross-platform titles, and post-bundle availability.
If you've ever been interested in comparing the number of Humble Bundle Linux debuts against Mac debuts (58 vs 23), look no farther. If you've ever wanted to know who ported what, you can find that here (no surprises, icculus and urkle are responsible for porting 32 titles between them). If you've ever wanted to know how many Humble Bundle titles were ported internally (over half), that's there too.

Enjoy!
Note: This article is over 7,500 words long, so it's small by my standards :D
I try to steer clear of pushing my own opinions, but since almost everybody I've shown this to has asked me what I thought of the THQ bundle, there's also this. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

So, for anybody who was keen to follow up on the wiki stuff we were talking about earlier, I've been talking with soeb, and we're going to try to organise a thorough enhancement of Humble Bundle game pages with extra details on ports, outstanding issues and fixes.
I'll probably put a news post up about it within the next few days :)
