While Origin is by no means an indie developer, kudos to them for donating all of their proceeds to charity.

Also, it's hard to find these games on a Steam sale for this cheap. I could get one, maybe two for what I just paid for the bundle.

edit: It appears that even if they use Origin (blarg), many can still be installed with Steam:

- Crysis 2 Maximum Edition - Dead Space 1 - Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box - Mirror's Edge - Medal of Honor

It is great that it's all going to charity, and as you said, kudos to Origin for that. I just don't like the direction Humble is going. I want them to be a place I can go to find interesting Indie games I might not have heard of before.

All of the proceeds are going to charity (unless you choose to do the humble tip)

Some of these games are Origin-only, and aren't on Steam.

yeah, but then you'd have to install origin to play those.

not worth it.
