I can pay whatever I want, but typically unless I'm motivated enough to pay above average, I don't participate. Just because I can pay virtually nothing and get virtually nothing doesn't mean I want to do that. I would rather just not buy it.
HIB V also had Super Meat Boy, Braid, Amnesia and Limbo which is why it did so well. Also it had two titles released this year. It had as many amazing, critically acclaimed titles as this bundle has titles, period. I didn't buy it for the same reason, but I can see why it did so well. One older title had no chance of sinking it, especially one as good as Psychonauts.
The only notable part about the Android bundles tend to be the Android ports themselves. Everything else is old hat. This bundle will most likely struggle to break $1 million in sales if it even makes it there, like all the Android-focused Humble Indie Bundles. That isn't a coincidence.
Fair enough I guess. I agree that the games aren't as good as the typical indie bundle games, and not as recent, and it probably won't do nearly as well as the main humble bundles. But they're still pretty good games, and if you've never played them before they're probably worth paying a little bit for them, even if it's less than a typical humble bundle (that's exactly what I did).
I guess the main point I was making was that even though it's called an "Android" bundle, if you're interested in the games at all, and you don't have an Android device, you should totally get it anyway for however much you want to pay. I think it's worth paying above the average (at the moment it's $6.05) for the extra game as well (Spirits), but that's up to you.
