I'm almost tempted to drop money on it just because it is THAT awesome, what they are doing.  I don't even know if I'd play the games, but I definitely would like to encourage this kind of marketing scheme.

[VolcomPunk]

Not sure if I'm understanding this correctly. So, for donating any sum of money, you can get those five games for the amount you donated?

[Scotty]

Ya got it!  You name the price, and it goes to charity.

[VolcomPunk]

Oh, that's great. I love the concept.


EDIT: I actually think the Lugaru game is pretty interesting. Though I'm having trouble getting past the sentinel level.  :D

I think i might want to pay for the song alone. XD

I predict this idea failing. This game package is definitely not worth $80 and I don't see too many people paying more than $5 for it.

[ARTgames]

that's why they ask you to pay what ever you want.

[NotSoCheerios]

world of goo is the only thing worth buying in that package. Hopefully they raise money with this though.

I read about this when it was first presented to the public. Great idea!

Well, World Of Goo had already done this before and raised a ton of money. Some pay well over the original amount, and especially since it is for a great cause. These are some of the best independent games, I would think that the package would cost a ton more than $80, actually.

This game package is definitely not worth $80

Aquaria      20
World of Goo   20
Gish      8 (currently on sale)
Lugaru      20
Penumbra   10
Total      78

So... yes, it is.

I saw this marketing scheme a long time ago when the maker of World of Goo did this on his website. I personally think it's a genius idea.

[Mr Pwnage]

And bullshit on it not working. They have as of current already made $404,844 between 51107 donors. I bought it for $25.

We don't take kindly to rich folk 'round here.

Marketing scheme? They're trying to raise money for charity...

Oops. I was kindof thinking back to when they did the same thing except it wasn't for charity. Either way, it's still a good strategy to earn money, whether it be for profit, or charity.
