amok: That's only in your view. In my view they have gone from strenght to strenght, and is today one of the best digital games sellers out there. I get almost all my indes there now, which they also tends to give me DRM free + Steam (best of both worlds) while I know that I also give back the most % to developers and they give a bit to charities. To me Humble is still the perfect win-win-win situation.
Oh, I certainly prefer buying from Humble as well when they offer both DRM and Steam, but that doesn't change the fact that Humble has lost - possibly irrevocably - its altruistic image.

in whose eyes? it is still just your opinion. No matter what, compared with for example gOg or Steam or whatever, Humble does give % to charities as well as higher cut to devs from every single sale. To me that is more altruistic than any alternative.

The default split (checked the current Daily 'Deep Silver' bundle) has a default split of 65% for the developer, 20% charity and 15% Humble Bundle - isn't the industry standard 70% for the developers?

I agree, perhaps to GoG users their image has gone down (for obvious reasons) but not to everyone else. In fact Humble is a bigger deal now than they ever were a few years ago (the telling hint was the launch of Humble Store). I've always argued that GoG's biggest competitor isn't as much Steam as it is Humble these days when it comes to indie games.
As long as Humble don't try to regionally restrict bundles, and still allow me to give every penny of a bundle purchase to charity or the developer if I so choose, I'll be happy to continue using them. Getting individual game keys is nice, but not doing so for a PWYW bundle isn't that big of a deal IMHO; if it makes a particular deal feel less worthwhile, I'll just pass on it, or pay less for it than I would otherwise.
Looking at the numbers, this bundle has sold more than some of their bundles sell in a week. That said, change it already! I want to see what's next. Hopefully it's one of the new ones made for this sale.

Hmm, indeed. Might be partly due to the spring sales in the store section bringing more people in, I suppose. Or just the newness of the daily bundle concept getting it more attention.
Looks like a great deal, though I currently don't have a Steam account.

So it's $9 for all 9 games?

Are Risen 1 and 2 standalone versions, or do they come with their DLC?

Risen 1 doesn't have any DLC at all.
Risen 2 doesn't have its DLC on this bundle.

I think it is simply that the quality of games in the recent bundles suck.Also like myself, many missed these great bundles the first time through.
People need to stop complaining. Even if you get Riptide that's $9 dollars for 10 games.

All of which are still much much more if you bought them anywhere else. Hell Riptide alone probally goes for $9 with no DLC.

So what I can't gift them to friends and they have DRM.

People are being way to self entitled. I will continue to use Humble bundle, Hell if each game was $2 dollars each it would still be worth it.

I'm just glad to have the option to get so many good games cheap. Some bundles only have 1 or 2 games im interested but at the dollar its still worth it. If you want indivisual keys go to steam or gog or somewhere else and pay way more

you can set it to 100% dev, if you want....

The Humble Widget has a 95% - 5% split, and the Humble Store has a 10% Charity, 75% Dev and 15% Humble split.

edit - and even with the default split on Bundles - Humble take only 15% of proceedings, where as the industry standard is to take 30%. Charity split confounds things.

ET3D: Looks to me like a bug, which should be reported to Humble Bundle. This wasn't the case when I redeemed in the past. (Not this particular bundle, I haven't bought it.)
+1 I don't remember this behaviour redeeming other multi-game steam keys.

The original Deep Silver bundle allowed to redeem separate packs, but it was the time when they still gave individual steam keys and you didn't have the redeem button thingie. Maybe it's the new redeem method's fault?

I think the way to prevent that it to turn everything into gift links.

I only redeemed one of the key packs so far, so it did not auto redeem the whole page for me.
