The numbers are higher now, if you look at the bundle site (they've extended it another 3 days). http://www.wolfire.com/humble $8.05 Win, $10.24 Mac, $14.55 Linux as of writing this. |

I'm sure this is due to some inherent superiority of Windows(TM) in general, and Windows(TM) users specifically. Perhaps it's the quality of these games - since they cost $0 they can't be as good as classics like "Assassin's Creed 2"(R) where armies of highly paid game programmers worked in ISO 9000 environments to produce the best software.

Just to make a general statement..how can you use Linux or FOSS programs extensively and not want to give back with donations or some such over time? I am not worthy of bragging, I wish I could give more money to the FOSS entities that I love. But I do when I can, we all do. And that's the difference..its that easy. That's how it ends up being more money given per different OS user. |

In case of 'contribution to' SONGBIRD , it is rather 'the other way around' , according to the people at SONGBIRD : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9292207&postcount=107 |
