Humble Bundle 2 is live: 5 great games, no DRM, pay what you want (ars technica)

Keep in mind the amount paid is decided by the purchaser, this significantly skews the numbers. Also the games being sold, indie games, typically have much smaller budgets and development costs. The statements at the time of the original offer were that a couple of the developers made more on the original humble bundle offer than they did selling the game through the normal channels. One million might not be significant for a major console game but for some of these indie games it's like the developer winning the lottery.
