The first Humble Bundle that I bought was the Double Fine bundle. I don\u2019t know why I didn\u2019t buy any of the previous bundles, and I\u2019m genuinely sad I missed out on them.<\/p>\n

Since I signed up to Humble Bundle, I get newsletters every week letting me know what\u2019s going to be on their Bundles and Weekly Sales. The latest bundle is a Humble E-Book Bundle, where you\u2019ll get four e-books in three different formats, and beating the average will unlock an extra two. Right now, that bundle is sitting at an average of $9.45, and I was genuinely surprised by how high the average was, especially for an e-book bundle. On closer inspection though, why should I be surprised that it\u2019s that high? This has gotten me thinking about the sense of entitlement some of us gamers have.<\/p>

The point of Humble Bundle, as I see it, is that the creators of the content, be it PC games, Android games, authors or musicians, come to us as a community, and humbly ask the brutally honest question, \u201cWhat are you willing to pay? There\u2019s no DRM, there\u2019s no set price, there\u2019s no big greedy corporation behind this, so what are these things worth to you?\u201d Boy, if there was ever an indication of the sense of entitlement that gamers have, this would be it.<\/p>\n
