Humble is back in style with the Humble Indie Bundle 19 and it has a pretty darn good selection of Linux games.
Note: We are going through the verification process to become a Humble partner to help with funding, Humble links will now be affiliate links.
The usual deal applies here, there's three different purchasing tiers. The first is pay what you want for:
- Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition - Steam + DRM Free
- Mini Metro - Steam + DRM Free
- Rakuen - Steam + DRM Free
Next up, if you pay more than the average you get:
- Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes - Steam + DRM Free
- SOMA - Steam + DRM Free
- Poly Bridge - Steam + DRM Free
And finally, for $14 (approx £9.84) you will get: SUPERHOT - Steam + DRM Free.
They will be adding more games in ~1 week as well, so hopefully they have some fun additions lined up for the bundle. Are you picking up a copy?
Ps. Humble Monthly has Deus Ex: Mankind Divided as an early unlock.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
finally a bundle without games I already own! Picked it for Halcyon, Soma and Super Hot

The "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" image has red exclamation marks over the Mac and Linux icons and it says "key not available". Anybody know what that means?

Well, funnily enough I already owned every game except the first tier ones. I can't complain.

That means we can donate money to GOL? Yeah! Can someone confirm this?

Probably that the Oculus version (you have to choose between steam key or oculus key) is windows only. But I still have to try it (didnt' bought it yet).

Am I the only one that wants Humble Store/Bundle to support cryptocurrencies?... I know most people have access to USD, PayPal and credit cards... But there's a few of us, who live in crappy, authoritarian, Banana Republic crountries that restrict access to those assets. Only cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Litecoin...) are really usable for us to purchase things outside. Videogames might be a "shallow" thing to desire, but that's why sales like these are even more attractive to us, these are the few occations we, nerds/geeks can afford to buy some games to distract us from those crappy moments in life for a few hours.
It would be really great for Steam to re-add BTC funding, btw. Hopefully they'll do it soon, since BTC fees are lower than ever. (and high fees was the reason they remove it a couple months ago).
(something tells me this might be a "controversial" comment, hopefully people will understand that developing countries are in very different situations and people really struggle to be able to buy stuff that in other countries are a few clicks away).

Quoting: Purple PuddingYes, Humble use a rather interesting affiliate/partner system where you select how much goes to us. They likely still take some form of a cut somewhere though.

Every little helps, hopefully, once my ID check goes through :)

The game will not appear into your Humble library until you go to the Humble Order page following the link arrived via e-mail, then selecting that you want the "Steam key".

Quoting: ziabiceYeah this exactly. It's a bit confusing, but there is a Steam key, the red mark is due to you also being able to get a key for Oculus.Quoting: EhvisThe "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" image has red exclamation marks over the Mac and Linux icons and it says "key not available".

Linux games that I don't have (except SOMA) and easy way to support GamingOnLinux? This bundle might be too good to pass...

Anybody know what that means?It's the Oculus version, which is Windows only. After you've bought the bundle, check your purchase page. You'll have the option to select either the Steam version (Windows + Mac + Linux) or the Oculus one. Not both, so choose the Steam one for Linux, obviously. After this, the key will appear in your library/account on the Keys page.

Weird that For this and the Jumbo bundle my main interest is in the $1 tier. I've seen SOMA and I'm satisfied with that much, Keep Talking isn't really my thing and the same goes for SUPER HOT.
But Mini Metro and Halcyon 6? Yes, please. And Kingdom: New Lands from the other bundle while you're at it.

I'm piss poor, so I'll may the minimum to get Mini Metro; and I'll make sure all of it goes to GOL.
When I'm less of a pauper (if ever) I promise to make a proper contribution.

Actually it's pretty nice of you guys that you want to give everything to Liam. Please don't forget that if devs don't receive any share, there will be no games anymore, especially not on Linux. Also, if Humble don't receive money they might drop their "decide whom you give money" shared system.
So I'd definitely give Liam 50 % and share the rest between devs and Humble, maybe also 10 % to charity.

Rakuen is very good. One of the few games I played to completion last year.

This reminds me of the imho very sad fact, that with the sheer amount of games I buy in bundles and sales, I extremely rarely play them often or even complete them (that includes many that I actually really like).
That was different in the 90's - at least for me. I had access to only a very few new games at a time. They were expensive and I chose carefully which ones I bought. And usually I played them with lots of joy and typically completed them.
Tbh, I prefer that to that inflationary situation today.

This is one reason I avoid bundles nowadays. (Although it was tough for this one.) I'm just playing through Owlboy (I got it gifted from somebody here, thanks again, what a good game!), and only have two or three games on the stack - but dozens on the wish list, all games that absolutely need to be bought and played some day. Flooding yourself isn't doing you a favor.
