I wonder if they will extend it.
so i wonder, what's the world record of this funding?
For some reason, I feel this is just a cover for EA's next mistake.

$9,857,595 going to the Human Rights Campaign, Watsi, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, the American Red Cross, the American Cancer Society and GamesAid? I'm very glad EA did this, that is truly a lot of money. About $1,642,932.5 per group. No doubt it'll help immensely.
I don't even care about charities, I gave everything to the Humble Bundle guys. The server loads they get each bundle must be insane.

EA is on a roll recently with the new CEO. Humble Bundle is on a roll with Deep Silver and this. It's a nice time to be a gamer.
This humble bundle had the best line-up compared to others Probably why it's the first time I payed beat-the-average

Larry is still interim CEO until they can find someone. That said, yeah, good on them for this.

Although like the THQ bundle it went against quite a bit of what the Humble Indie Bundle was originally for (cross-platform, DRM free etc), to me it was still better than most of the other bundles. Paid $10 for it and it was an amazing value. And well done to EA for deciding to not directly profit off of the bundle as well. I can imagine it would have been tempting for them haha
Of course it did. This 'humble' bundle contained games people actually want to play, so it's a no brainer that they're moving more units than they ever imagined they would.

If you genuinely believe EA will do something out of the kindness of its heart you're incredibly naive. They'd charge a fee for bugfix patches if they could, there's no way in hell they'd support you buying most of their decent games for a penny if they didn't think they could swing a buck or three off of ya later on.
I wish they added more bonuses.

[editline]28th August 2013[/editline] The world doesn't run on kindness, do you expect any multi-million dollar corporation to do things out of kindness? They don't run on nothing, they need money.
I gave all my donation to American Red Cross. I still think THQ bundle was the best one yet.
I was really hoping they'd add the Mass Effect games for the average, but it was still a really great deal without them.
