Humble Indie Bundle 2 Available, Now With Y Combinator Backing

Just out of interest, why does the holding company need to be YC backed?

From the other post about HIB2: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2007470

I don't know how authoritative that is, but it sounds promising.

The last bundle recently made itself available via Steam, which despite the DRM included does make it vastly more convenient to download whenever, however. Is it known at this time whether that will happen with this one, or is that still pending negotiations with Valve?

looks like at least Braid and Machinarium are already on Steam

Osmos too

I already have the best games from this Humble Indie Bundle, but I bought it anyway just to support the bundle for others.

I highly recommend Osmos and Machinarium. They are in my opinion the best games in the bundle.

cool, nice to see Braid ported to Linux

Osmos alone makes this a good buy.
