Yeah I jumped on this.

Same, this is a great deal for MgT2e books. They're normally spicy meatballs. I got the starter set bundle last year so this is a good addition to that.

The 'Level Up' options are currently not going up that fast. They started at $34.95 each. I still prefer the Humble Bundle model. I despise a few people with deep pockets ramping up the price for those of us with a small gaming budget.

Ii just realized have no idea how that works. I did not know that the price changes.

They started there, if I understand the site correctly, because Bundle of Holding seeded the algorithm with 400 dummy purchasers - beg your pardon, they use the term "fake sales", which is further than I was going to go - listed as paying $34.95. That's a concern right there. The Great Rift bundle would be useful to me, but I won't go out of my way to get past the current unfavourable exchange rate if the price has been manipulated.

They set a base value for the 1st chunk, negotiated with the IP owner. They also set a minimum for level up. They use 400 "fake sales" at level up, to weight it, and the current average level up paid (including the 400 "fake sales" at minimum agreed upon) is the minimum for new level-ups.
Since the new average cannot include any new values below the prior, further level up sales at best do not raise it, at worst, can severely up it.

Huh, I never read the details and had no idea.

I suspect that they may not understand that they are making it more expensive for everyone else. I didn't realize that the first two or three time I purchased a humble bundle. My ego wanted to be on the leader-board but I also thought more went to the publisher and the philanthropic cause.

 

[Bartleby]

Yeah I thought I was helping out the creators.
