You could be waiting a while. The bundle has two Steam keys, one for BIT.TRIP RUNNER, Meat Boy, Jamestown, Shank, and NightSky, and a key for Cave Story+ and Gratuitous Space Battles. Keys are only going to start turning up here if there's anyone who buys the bundle despite having all five games or beats the average despite having both games.
Also, if there's anyone who beat the average despite having both games, I'd recommend hanging onto your BTA key until after the bundle ends. I gave mine away early last time and had to buy a second Introversion Bundle when they added Dungeons of Dredmor. Which is why I'm still sitting on a key for the rest of the Introversion Bundle, if anyone wants it.
Well, a friend decided to buy two $5 bundles instead of one $10 so I still got the Beat the average AND the regular ones. Yay bargaining!
I got gypped in a TF2 trade for a new bundle (S/he said she paid well, I guess now that means a cent nowadays) If someone has both games and can hook me up with a code (or is inherently awesome and can afford to but the whole thing) That'd be amazing.
Due to Humble Indie Bundle 4 now having Humble Indie Bundle 3 attached to it, I have a steam code for Humble Indie Bundle 3 (which has: Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, Hammerfight & And Yet It Moves). And I'm probably not the only one!
I'm somewhat confused by the bitching about getting 7 games for $5.
I'm not bitching about Bundle #4. I'm bitching about them adding the games from Bundle #3, which I already have. It just seems like a rather pointless addition, is all.
It's not pointless to people who don't own Bundle #3. I just introduced my younger cousin to the concept of Humble Indie Bundles, and she now gets more games she's never heard of, let alone played.
And by bitching about #3, you're essentially saying that the 7 games for $5 wasn't a good enough value, and you need more than this or you've been had.
By itself, Bundle #3 being added to Bundle #4 at worst doesn't change anything. You paid $5, you got 7 games, and if you owned #3 already then you are unaffected by its addition.
The only means by which it could possibly affect you in the slightest is if, as part of the larger collection, Bundle #4 was not worth the cost and requires additional incentives to be worth the investment.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. I suspect that most people who bought Bundle #4 also bought Bundle #3, so they've got the same games again for no real reason. That's what I was getting at.

Here's where you lose me. When did I say that? At what point did I say "Now there's 12 games, the bundle's finally worth $6"? I didn't say that, I didn't suggest that and I don't think that. I'd love to know how you got the impression that I did.
I think what Dashing is getting at is that you sound like the addition of the third bundle is harming you in some way. It doesn't affect you in any way, good or bad, but it's a positive thing for a lot of other people, so why complain about it?
Because now there was no point in his having bought #3 when it came out, and he could have just waited until now to get it, making his having bought #3 before pointless (aside from the donation)?
I don't think that retroactively getting screwed over is a legitimate complaint, especially considering that the other side of the Humble Bundle coin is a bunch of indie developers and a couple awesome charities. And really, the Humble Bundles are such a good value for us, I bought the Introversion bundle twice (beating the average both times), and I still don't feel screwed over. Screwed over is not a concept that applies to the Humble Bundle.
Besides, unlike the Humble Indie Bundle 4, the original Humble Indie Bundle 3 came with the Humble Indie Bundle 2.

But it doesn't harm people, I just don't see the point in... oh, whatever.
I can't be bothered to argue this any more. Dashing just seems determined to make me seem like a bad guy and I can't be arsed to constantly be on the defensive.
They have always added the bundle before to the most recent one. HIB 3 got HIB 2 which itself got HIB 1. It's great for people who got late to the party and started with this bundle. I get a lot of christmas gifts for a friend of mine who hasn't bought the HIB 3. Everybody wins.
The whole point of the humblebundles is for the indies to get their games into as many hands as possible.
Doing it for charity gets more sales, and good rep for supporting a good cause.
Having excess games is exactly the point.
They want you to share, to spread the goodwill.
A fantastic marketing tool if I ever did see one!
(Because no one gets to be the bad guy! Well... execept for pirates! XD
And it helps these companies in the long-term as they have more funding, but also a better position in which to sell their new games)
EDIT: In fact another interesting thing to note is the fact that most of the games are fairly old or really new.
It would make sense for the old devs, as the sales for their games may have slowed, and this gives them a much needed sales boost, but it also helps out newer devs.
Think about Voxatron for a second.
The game has a bizarre concept and image which may not sell all that great.
So when bundled with Gish and the FANTASTIC Binding of Isaac, establshed games, it helps convince more people to buy.
(As they can normally just gift those to their friends if they already have it, or be able to jump in if they didn't)
A. Is the bundle still there B. What's in the bundle C. To Dashing's case you are all right Dashing said that it's for people who have not gotten the third bundle or any bundle for that matter (like me) but Darth Marsden is right too because Rather is putting words in his mouth and trying to speak for him.

How can you reference a quote that hasn't been made yet?
There you go.
Enjoy!
7 Coal
-50% Valve Coupon
VVVVVV
Flatout
Anyone can trade for anything except the coal
I also still have a Humble Indie Bundle #3 Steam key.
Why don't you craft the coal? :P
Because all of the coupons are shit and the odds of getting a good gift are incredibly low, so it's actually worth more as contest entries.
I may be interested in trading a coal for that copy of VVVVVV. I'll get back to you on that.
