Humble Indie Bundle 16 launches, great selection with Sunless Sea now officially on Linux

We are still the ones spending the most on HiB even tough we have a lot more options to find Linux games out there :

Average Windows:
$5.63
Average Mac:
$7.07
Average Linux:
$8.28

And also we represent way more than 1% of the sales.

I picked it up just for Trine 3 and Never Alone. I might play Retro City Rampage. I couldn't care less about the others. Still a very good deal.

I know, right? The Linux percentage was almost equal to Mac. Which means they could very well be making more money off of Linux sales vs Mac, which I find amusing.

Even if you look at all Humble Bundle combined, including the ones that don't have Linux games in it and the ebooks and Android bundles, Linux users are paying 3$ more than the average user and represent 4.65% of the market. If you look only at HiB that we know have Linux games in them you see also that Linux users always pay more than other users (especially Windows users) and that they represent 5% of the market. So why are we still at 1% on Steam is a mystery to me but I bet it has to do with the fact that a lot of active users on Steam are not actually buying games and are only playing one game (Dota2, TF2, CS:GO...).

Yes. The icon is missing but it installs and plays.

thx keyrock :)

i would hate it, if it showed up and counted as a windows sale :)

Can't beat that with a HUGE stick. I payed $10. Not sure if I'll play anything other than Trine 3 but that alone makes it WELL worth it.

I already have Outlast so I have a key for it. I don't want to just post it here so the first person to message me here or on steam that wants it gets it!

I already own two of the games included, and the others do not pique my interest too much personally, so I will probably wait until next week before making a decision.

I've bought every Humble Indie Bundle since the first one, and I don't think I've played more than 20% of the games, but I always buy each HIB at least once (usually twice and once three times!) to simply support HB and the devs for their Linux porting efforts.
