Ok, I'll go back to this bit...
He said it was impossible to get in the bundle with DRM before. HBI's policies wouldn't allow it. He never said it was impossible for them to change their policies.
htown1980: It was never impossible for Humble Bundle Inc to bundle games that were not drm free or cross platform. That was always a possibility, it just hadn't materialised yet.
Of course it was always a possibility. No one ever said it wasn't. He said it was impossible to get in the bundle with DRM before. HBI's policies wouldn't allow it. He never said it was impossible for them to change their policies.

I think the Linux and Mac ports will keep coming in future bundles without them having too much trouble getting people to agree. That is unless they do another major publisher pack, which will probably be like the THQ bundle was.
I do wonder though with Steam being on Mac and now Linux if there will be any devs who will agree to port the games but refuse to make them DRM free. There is no public info on it, but I'd guess there is a size-able crowd that buys the bundles, then just takes the steam keys and never even bothers downloading the DRM free versions. I'd assume they would say no and move on to another game. However that crowd may be big enough for them to consider it.
Nothing we can do though but wait it out and see what bundles turn up in the future.

Yeah... the guy who pointed out that you had a habit of not reading posts properly... and look you're doing it again by assuming I am trolling. How is asking a question trolling? Htown doesn't undertstand your point either, is he a troll too?

SirPrimalform: I actually quoted the thing I was calling trolling! Who isn't reading posts properly? Anyway, I explained that in more detail in the reply to the PM you sent me.
Because .... you're still wrong. I wasn't trolling in that quote. Being a smartass doesn't automatically mean trolling

CaptainGyro: Yeah I'll admit I didn't read that properly because I've been drinking. Shit unlike some people around here, I'll do the grownup thing and actually admit it. I misread that one. See that isn't so hard is it? Now your turn son
Because .... you're still wrong. I wasn't trolling in that quote.
Well it still looks like trolling to me, but if you say it isn't then I'll take your word. Sorry!Because .... you're still wrong. I wasn't trolling in that quote.

Oh, now I get it. htown1980: It was never impossible for Humble Bundle Inc to bundle games that were not drm free or cross platform. That was always a possibility, it just hadn't materialised yet.

You are saying that it is correct to say it was impossible to previously get into a bundle with DRM. Yet in the next sentence you state how it is possible to get into a bundle with DRM, all it needed for HIB people to permit it.
That's a misuse of the word "impossible". Something is not impossible if, in order for to happen, all that needs to occur is a policy change.

Oh, hello my lovely thread.
Personally, I think the fact that the humble guys allow windows and steam only games pretty much proves that 9/11 was an inside job.

I do believe I have more evidence pointing towards bad influence of THQ bundle. I believe people started downrepping others on the boards because of it. The above mentioned evidence is bears. Discuss.
