Phoronix: The Humble Indie Bundle #2 Has Arrived

As was pointed out in our forums this morning, the second "Humble Indie Bundle" has arrived. It was just five days ago that there were hints of a second bundle on the way after the very successful first bundle that led to all of those games being open-sourced. Now though the second Humble Indie Bundle is now available and with all new games...

Already got it. Hopefully it will be allowed to activate it on Steam aswell.

[Shining Arcanine]

Being able to activate it on steam is nice, but it is not that useful until the mystical Steam Linux client is available.

[KameZero]

All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux

Errr, did braid get a linux port when I wasn't looking or are they talking wine?

[TechMage89]

Braid appears to have a Linux client. At least, there is a self-extracting archive file available for download for Linux. I need to investigate this.

[ZedDB]

Yes, all games have a native linux client. Just got back from playing braid

World of Goo was never open sourced was it?

Only Lugaru and Penumbra were open-sourced, the rest weren't.

Originally, only LugaruHD was going to be opensourced anyway.

"Braid is making its Linux debut in the bundle, as is Cortex Command, which is timing a large game update with the launch,"

"We learned that piracy is inevitable—even when you let people literally give a penny to charity for DRM-free games, large percentages of people will still pirate the bundle," he said. "We learned that open source software is still commercially viable. After open sourcing a number of games in the bundle, none of our sales were negatively affected."

False! Gish and Aquaria were also open sourced.
