FEZ is an awesome game, as well as Trine2. (Haven't tried the others yet)
It is nice to see Linux community contributing this charity bundle.
There are more ways to buy great games for Linux now than there when the Humble Bundle started. Perhaps that explains why the average price, number of bundles sold, and total revenue credited to Linux during the Humble Indie Bundle sales is on a downward trend. They've been so important, though, in bringing great indie games to our platform that I think it's a shame they're not rewarded for their commitment to the platform with increasing support from Linux gamers.
It may just be that the Linux gaming market is saturated, that there isn't a lot of room for Linux sales to grow from where they were.
That downward trend is just for the flagship HIBs. I didn't take a look at the Android bundles or any others where Humble folks keep separate stats for the different OSes.
I sure hope the trend is because of recent bundles which were far from being Indie, Cross platform or DRM free. The EA bundle was the worst of the worst and convinced me to never buy something from HB again. How can you even strike a deal with one of the worst publishers ever, which enforces horrible DRM and ruins once successful franchises?
The trend dates from the very first bundle, so it's not due to other sales the Humble folks have run recently.
I can understand the objection to buying from a company that does business with EA. It's a high standard to hold a games retailer to, I find it an absolutist position, but I think I can understand it. I don't understand objecting to the Humble folks doing business with EA, and then having an account on Steam, who have a much closer relationship to EA, and buying games like Dead Space and Mirror's Edge from EA yourself. What's the standard here?
The Humble folks are the best place for me to buy the indie games I'm most interested in: they're DRM-free, they've commissioned their own Linux ports, they sell most of my favourite new games, I believe they have fairly friendly terms for developers, they're founded by indie developers, they channel money to non-profits I support... they may not be perfect, but I think they're among the best out there and they've been a great thing for Linux gamers. I'm a satisfied and loyal customer.

Unfortunately I already bought FEZ (Preordered ages ago) and FTL. FTL is absolutely amazing. To this day I'm still dazzled by the pixelly beauty. That game, and Fez, I will never forget those games no matter how old I get.
