Blah blah Macheist 2, blah blah bundle blah blah January. Malcor, hoax, disappointment. Charity 25%, bargain Shareware, controversy, variously upset and happy developers, blah blah blah. $200,000 raised for "important causes": United Way Int'l, Direct Relief Int'l, AIDS Research Alliance, PreventCancer.org, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, Global Hunger Project, and Save the Children.
Your mileage may vary.

Of course, there's the nonsense about SpeedDownload having a free upgrade to the next version if you bought SD since January 1 - except for the MacHeist II people, who have to pay the full upgrade price anyway. Even if they owned a pervious verison of SD!
MacHeist II seems to have ANOTHER black eye.

Agreed. Awesome post.

Ironically, I got as much out of this as I do some of those iPhone hacking articles that go way over my head. =)
But, I like the way Erica did it. I'm not ready to be flooded with Macheist promotion again.

You stole the words out of my mouth—er, maybe off of my keyboard. :D
I laughed out loud.

I like MacHeist, i bought the bundle, and actually went on to buy the upgrade of some of the apps, so i'm sure it's not worked out too badly for the devs!
MH is a bit of fun, and if money is made for charity, all the better.
Also, if you look throught the about pages, MH Bundle sale is scheduled for 9th January!!

@Fraser Drew
So I am assuming, like the rest of us who opted into the first MacHeist bundle, that you're still waiting for ANY activity, blog posts, announcements, etc. from a healthy portion of the offers (like Disco, iClip, etc.). At least I use a couple of the other apps regularly, but the guys who were also part of creating the MyDreamApp competition (can't wait for the TUAW announcement on THAT) have just fallen off the face of the earth. I just cannot trust them with my $$$ anymore, until they can prove that they are actually, I dunno, still alive?
