Although Wes on humble support is now stating they won't give out any info on future bundles...

Quoting: "liamdawe, post: 6729, member: 1"Doubtful since Humble are apparently dropping their cross platform only stuff...

Says who? Seriously, I want to know.

This all seems like a lot of people talking out of their hat to me. Until we get something more concrete I say calm down.

Well they are already running that double fine thing which is Windows only, the THQ bundle will be Windows only - their cross platform only has already been flattened by them.

Frankly I find this assumption about a THQ Bundle actually coming about to be a little bit pre-mature anyway since all we have are vague comments from support staff. And even if they do host some ones on their infrastructure that are not cross-platform (still a huge mistake, and one that they would need to be rightly scolded over) that does not equate to completly dropping the cross-platform requirment from actual Humble Bundles, which is what seems to be implied here.

We really need word from someone like Jeffery Rosen on this - although I have personally always found bundles like that Double Fine one to be a bit of a balmy idea and in many ways an abuse of the infrastrucute myself. They also did just hire Edward Rudd on full time, so I find this notion to a bit at odds with what we already knew before.

Also, a bit surprised that Cheeseness has not chimed in yet, being the biggest Humble Bundle fan on the forum. ;)

Okay but if they do the THQ Humble Bundle then by all measure of it they have dropped their requirements for cross platform.

I'm not bothered about the Double Fine one since they will be small prototypes and not actual games.

I think Cheese is in bed, i'm sure he will scald me soon enough for my views :P

Hamish, I agree, so much talking... It's the Humble Bundle who I want to hear. Let's wait.

Quoting: "Anon, post: 6718"Damn, if this isn't cross-platform, then I'm ending the streak of buying every bundle at 19. If that's actually what happens, I don't think I'd see Humble as anything special compared to the others...

Same for me. If they do a "Windows-only bundle" I'll consider they have sold they soul and I'll stop encouraging them for games I don't even play.

Well anything anyone really says yes is speculation, the current ones not even over, let's hope they don't disappoint us.

I take back my comments - may they all burn... :mad:

Yeah i'm not exactly happy with it either but they already sold out by doing Windows only Double Fine stuff.
