    I have a quick question about the HIBQ. I was not planning on buying any games, but because of the "pay-what-you-want" offer I am now considering it. :D

    Anyways, I was just wondering if $5 would be ok in your eyes (from a moral/ethical perspective). I don't want to buy this pack if the $5 won't even cover the bandwidth cost of me downloading it, but I also figure that its 5 bucks they have that they normally wouldn't have gotten.

    Your thoughts?

    $5 is fine. Keep in mind that the average contribution until now is $8.72 so chance are $5 is what quite a few people are giving. It doesn't amount to much (by default, the money gets split 7 ways), but it should be enough to cover the costs and then some and a lot of these add up.

    yep, I agree, much better to contribute $5 and get some fun little games than to feal bad about it and contribute nothing... rock it out! and have fun!

    EDIT: and I gave $10, so you give $5 and we'll even out to about the average ha
