Humble Indie Bundle sets minimum $1 donation thanks to Steam scam

HumbleBundle4

The well-meaning earnestness and awesome gaminess of the Humble Indie Bundle IV are being exploited by evil internet users who would probably sell their own grans to be in with a chance of winning the latest Steam competition.

To combat this, the minimum you'll have to spend in order to get Steam keys in your Bundle is $1, instead of 1 cent. If the Scrooges among you can't afford the $1 minimum you can contact the Humble Indie guys and they'll send you the Steam keys - if you promise not to resell them or otherwise abuse them.

The incessant, nauseating loop of Band Aid on the radio and tear-jerking ads for homeless dogs on the telly are there to remind us that Christmas isn't just about being drunk for a whole day, but that it's also about donating to charities and hard-up indie game developers. Let's just hope the Humble Indie guys don't lose faith in the goodness of humanity.
