Gamers, quantify your frugality! It’s that time of year again: the Humble Indie Bundle has again launched, this time offering Mac gamers the choice of paying whatever they want for the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle, a four-pack of game from dev Frozenbyte that includes the gorgeous fantasy action game Trine, the two Shadowgrounds games, and a new platformer called Splot as a pre-order bonus.
As usual, you can pay what you want for the bundle, and the games will all not only work on the Mac, but also be cross-compatible with Linux and Windows. In addition, you can even divvy up your donation between developer Frozenbyte, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child’s Play and the Humble guys themselves.
All told, the latest Humble Indie Bundle is $50 worth of gaming excellence for whatever you want to pay… which, for Mac users as of writing, is hovering on average at around $6.19. I expect you to do better.

Well only Trine and the two Shadowgrounds games are available for Mac. Jack Claw is only Windows and you need a 360 controller to play it. As for the pre-order splot, it’s only Windows according to support and there MIGHT be a mac/linux version later.
So I don’t blame us Mac’ers for only putting in $6 average. I already have Trine and I won’t play the other two shadowground games but I’ll give them $1 or so for putting together the pack.
Win win, they get a small donation and I get the satisfaction of donating.
