After making an impressive showing during its first 17 hours of availability, the third Humble Indie Bundle has racked up quite a few more successful hours: It just passed $1 million in total payments, a figure it garnered with a little over 215,000 downloads.
The bundle, which was recently expanded with the independently developed shooter, Steel Storm, is bringing in an average purchase price of a little under five bucks. In contrast, Linux purchasers are dropping an average donation of $11.62.
There's a little over one week left before the promotion ends, so if you're planning on participating, make sure you try to follow the example set by our open source OS brethren.

If more games were programed for you, I would ditch Windows in a heart beat.

I'm glad my extremely generous payment of $0.01 helped

Humble Bundle, Inc is not a charity. They offer the ability to donate to charities.
They themselves are a for profit company.

I'm hesitant about getting this humble bundle. I got the last two mostly to donate to the charities, but my pile of games to play is getting a little out of hand...I don't want to make it any worse...
GAHH~ Can't make up my mind!!

Everybody should buy this. Played Cogs, VVVVVV, and Crayon Physics last night and they were all worth it. Am buying a bundle for my gf as well. Incredible amount of high quality content for any price you want. I paid $5, and feel like I should have paid more :-/

Man, the Windows crowd doesn't seem to want to donate that much to the cause, at least in comparison to the other two platforms. Guess that's why I feel obligated to donate $20 to at least boost up the average a bit.

Already, the Humble Indie Bundle feels like a part of everyday life, yet it only started May of last year. To think, the indie gaming scene wasn't visible 5 years ago, and now it's the new black. I'm ecstatic that we're moving towards this accessible future.

I may have only put 10 bucks but hey, it counts for something. Congrats on the cool million.
