Last week, a pack went on sale that let you name your own price for five great indie games, all in the name of charity. Know what a ton of people then went and did? Pirated the thing. Wonderful.

To recap, this was a pack that let you pay what you want. With all proceeds going to charity. So you could pay $1 and get five of the best indie games going around, and donate to a good cause, all at the same time. $1!

Even that was too much for many, though, with publishers Wolfire - whose David Rosen penned a great piece on the matter last week - estimating that at least 25% of users got the games for free. And that's a conservative estimate, since it includes only those who scammed the games off a forum or website, and not off BitTorrent sites.

Some days, you're reminded how awful people can really be. Today is one of those days.

Saving a penny — pirating the Humble Indie Bundle [Wolfire]

How much would you pay for a copy of World of Goo, Gish and three additional games that don't prominently feature black blobs dripping with indie cred? Thanks to the Humble Indie Bundle you pay exactly "whatever."

Wolfire is offering a five game bundle that includes Aquaria, Penumbra: Overture, Lugaru, Gish and World of Goo at a pay-what-you-want rate. These cross-platform games are DRM-free and run on Mac, Windows, and Linux, so no one need complain. (Okay, OS/2 users, you can complain about being left out.)

In addition to letting indie game enthusiasts name their price, Wolfire and the participating indie acts are letting buyers send their contribution directly to charity, Penny Arcade's Child's Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, specifically. Give it all to charity, divvy it up evenly, whatever!

The fun and the good vibes from doing good are free, so be hasty with the purchase.

The Humble Indie Bundle [Wolfire]

WarioWare: D.I.Y. lets budding young game designers with short attention spans make their own video games. Sure they may last less than 10 seconds, but that's enough for some. How does professional video game maker Ron Carmel do?

Carmel is one half of the team that made the WiiWare and PC indie hit World of Goo, co-founder of 2D Boy. What does he do when give the microgame making toolbox that is WarioWare: D.I.Y.? Well, he makes a blink and you'll miss it spin on his own game, titled "Suck Goo!"

It's about as simplistic as a WarioWare game can get—one tap and you're done—but it's also a good illustration of the style one can bring to their do-it-yourself creations.

Carmel's "Suck Goo!" is available for download to your copy of WarioWare: D.I.Y. starting today, part of Nintendo's celebrity-made microgame giveaways.
