It looks like it will be one of the least successful "numbered" Humble Indie Bundles.

Why do you think this is? Is it because everyone already has the games, are we too overloaded with bundles or is everyone spending their money on kickstarter/gog sales/steam sales/etc?

As I write this there have been 221,553 bundles sold for $1,294,593.36, so it looks like more units sold than the first 2 bundles, but the price is lower. The price paid for the last bundle was relatively high but the average price for this bundle has dropped again.

From my perspective, I already have torchlight, the other games interested me, but they weren't games that I really, really wanted (contrast with Bastion, Limbo and Psychonauts from the last bundle).

Was that previous bundle so good that this bundle just wouldn't be able to compare?

Any thoughts?

It's a combination of:

- games are good but nowhere near as good as HIB V
- by this point many people own most of the games in bundles and see no reason to buy bundles for just one or two more games
- bundle fatigue

Yeah, if I have to buy one more copy of Torchlight, I'm gonna scream!

I already own Torchlight, and none of the other games are particularly interesting to me. Especially since I still have a huge backlog of previous Humble Bundle games.

I bought the current Humble Bundle. I didn't own any of the games in the bundle, so for me it was awesome.

Torchlight 1 is a really, really good game. It's not something I would usually buy, which is why I love bundles!

For me it's this: I just got Gamersgate's Indie Fort bundle, and that Winter Wolf bundle with all the visual novel/manga style games, and the bundle with "Bunny Must Die," I can't even remember what that one was called; and oh hey, here's another bundle for me to pick up and then forget about all but one or two of the games. No thanks.

HiB 4 and 5 set the standard so high that this one doesn't reach it in the opinions of many people. Plus I don't think the beat the average game is that appealing compared to what was previously in that slot (Cave Story+/Gratuitous Space Battles and Bastion), so more people are going the cheaper route to get the base games and wait for whatever extras get added.

I had never heard of Shatter, but it's been a blast so far! I was interested in Dustforce and Vessel as well.

I don't know what it is with others, but I thought it was a fantastic deal. For half the price of Dustforce, I got it and 4 other games I didn't previously own - all DRM-free!

The only one I didn't like was Shatter.

Sweet, thank you for this post. I didn't know that Winter Wolf bundle was in bundle sale so I'm going to pick it up. I honestly wouldn't know about it if you didn't post about it.

The Indie Gala guys would kill to have sales as good as HB6. I dont think a single Gala sold more than 100k.

I have got to get this asap. I actually don't own any of the games. :)

The only game in HIB 6 I already had was Torchlight, and I was very interested in SPAZ, so I didn't hesitate to buy it. I haven't played anything but SPAZ since. I haven't even downloaded any of the other games yet. All in all, I'm very happy with the bundle.

Bonus games.

Damn. Poorly...

This one was the first humble bundle i ever bought and i was quite happy about it, especially because of vessel and dustforce.
