As awesome as this is, I'm quite bothered with the payment options. As it stands, I can't pay even if I wanted. I don't have a CC and all of Paypal, Amazon and Google are utter no-gos for me. It makes me a sad panda that options like PaySafeCard aren't as widespread as I would like them to be.
I think HIB did due diligence by offering CC, PayPal, Amazon, and Google. I honestly think you're an extreme outlier and would fall into a fraction of a percent of their users. I'm not saying that it's OK to marginalize you, but if I were them, with complete honesty I would have thought that those four options would cover everybody, and then doing something like Bitcoin would be going an extra mile. I've never heard of PaySafeCard (not to say that it can't be cool if I haven't heard of it, because it is), so I think it may have a long way to go before it's widely accepted.
Edit: You elucidated why you aren't using these services here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2809572, but really you've painted yourself into a box. It's not that you can't use those services, it's that you won't. I understand why you don't want to (really, I feel you, I'm an idealist too), but at a certain point I just have to bite the bullet and if I want something bad enough and I can only pay for it in certain ways, then I'm going to do it.
You're right, I kind of miss-phrased that. And yes, I am aware that I'm part of a very tiny fraction of customers. My post shouldn't be understood as a demand or anything, I was just rambling.
Oh, and for PSC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paysafecard , if you (or anyone else) is interested. It's based in the EU (Austria to be exact) and is used and promoted here, but it's pretty much unknown in the US (and the rest of the world) as far as I know, so I'm not really surprised when people tell me they've never heard of it.
Why are Paypal, Amazon and Google all no goes for you? I've heard a lot of negativity about Paypal for example but that is entirely from the merchants position.
You might have heard of the shit they pulled with Wikileaks (freezing accounts, withholding money, kicking them out of the service for no reason etc). And that wasn't the first time they did something like this, at least for Paypal. I refuse to fund such - in my opinion - criminal activities.
And for Google:
Call me paranoid, call me stubborn, but I'm one of those people who avoid Google like the plague and are extremely critical of them in general (I'm not a hater, though, there are quite some good things which Google does, I just refuse to use their services).
You might be interested in this option then: BTCDeals.com is reselling the bundle for Bitcoins: https://www.btcdeals.com/humble-indie-bundle-3/ . (Although I assume they will use CC themselves to buy the bundle, so that might still be a show-stopper for you.)
