Psyconauts is supposedly pretty amazing.

5 million $ is more than enough to pack a AAA game. If they continue packing amateurish and average games then the humble bundle will likely lose most of its steam in the mid term.

Clearly you haven't played any of the ones bundled this time then - Psychonauts is amazing!

Well bundle sort of indicates that is is multiple and not just one game, besides the average payment is around 8$ and theres no garanty that the same would be payed if there is just one game.

What "amateurish" and "average" games are you talking about? Limbo? Or Bastion? Or Psychonauts? Anyway, I can't follow you: The made 5 million *after* they had chosen the games - not the other way round.

Way out. You're looking at least $25m, GTA 4 cost a $100m.
