Sorry if anyone considers this spam. I don't, since it's 100% to Charity - and they're even matching $300,000.

The part that's flag-worthy is the submitted link label, which is currently "Humble FREEDOM Bundle – HUGE List of Games, 100% to Charity."

The page title is actually "Humble Freedom Bundle (pay what you want and help charity)." Given that, the title you chose is link-bait and/or editorializing.

It's certainly not editorializing -- it clearly states at the top of the page that "100% goes to charity." The list of games is also far greater in size than any other Humble Bundle I've seen, so 'huge' is also accurate. As for the link-bait accusation, it seems to me that the original title was more descriptive than the one you insisted on.

A simple "please use the original title" would have sufficed.

I was expecting a few okay games, not a pretty solid list.

I find it just a little bit amusing that the game 'Ellipsis' is the 'FREEDOM' edition, however it is one of the few games that aren't DRM free.

I don't think this can be considered "pay what you want". There were some indie games I wanted to check out, but 30$ is a little too high for those.

Humble bundle moved away from "pay what you want" ages ago, into a "here's the minimum you have to pay for the non trash parts of the bundle". I don't really mind then setting a minimum bar - I just fundamentally object to them continuing to claim it's the former.

To each their own.

I think it is quite funny they call it the Humble Freedom Bundle considering this: "Bitcoin payments have been disabled for the Humble Freedom Bundle."

Oh how I love freedom.

Now is an appropriate time to mention The Free Bundle (actually free bundles of games)

This is definitely not 'Pay what you want.'

It's 'pay $30 or more' with no other option.

A little over 24 hours later and they've hit $3.1mil.

Impressive.
