THAT'S A LOT OF TAMALES!
Well folks, It’s been an exciting time but the fifth official Humble Indie Bundle event is over. The event sold 598,721 bundles and raised over
$5,102,381.92 for indie developers, almost twice what Humble Indie Bundle 4 raised. While this is extremely impressive, many people weren’t surprised due to the games that were put on sale: with indie darlings Bastion, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Psychonauts, Sword and Sworcery Brothers, and LIMBO offered along with their soundtracks, only to have cult favorites Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Lone Survivor join in, this became an amazing package of highly acclaimed games.
Of course, the games weren’t the only popular bits of pop culture being watched as Notch and HumbleBrony Bundle got into a friendly payment war that rose to ridiculous heights by the end of the event. In the end, Notch dethroned the MLP fans with his payment of $12,345.67. HumbleBrony did make an impressive last stand however, raising $11,111.11. While they may have only been in second place, they still have placed in first on several of the previous indie bundles.
So, did you buy the bundle? What are your thoughts on these numbers?
UPDATE: While these numbers were correct at the time of the initial posting, there were a number of pending transactions that were not counted at the time. The final numbers are: 598,953 bundles sold for a total of $5,106,402.79. Also, at the last second, HumbleBrony Bundle managed to pull ahead of Notch, with $13,167.84, which means they maintain their winning streak. We here at Blistered Thumbs would like to thank rftl for bringing this to our attention.

What I want to know is how much did the site make from this and the developers. When I bought my bundle I chose it to go all to the developers forgetting about the website. Which I regret now because I really appreciate their service. I already owned Bastion and Psychonauts but the game Amnesia which I wanted was worth it alone, then they add three new games two of which that I really wanted.
Actually the HIB site says that the Humble Brony Bundle Guys did take 1th Place with $13,167.84.
Haven’t played Sword and Sorcery or Lone Survivor yet, but I am familiar with the rest of the titles. I spent $8.48 earlier this afternoon, knowing full well that Bastion and Amnesia alone are wroth every bit of that and much more. To make matters better, $5 million dollars generated for charity/indie development, so it’s an everyone win situation.
