My biggest problem is that until recently the Humble Bundle was DRM free. Now with this and the Playstation bundle they are tying you into one marketplace. I can understand the Playstation tie in but there is no way can I accept DRM for this one. You should be getting PDF versions of these as they have done with all the Comic and Book bundles. I have and will never buy digital content that I cannot use anywhere I want to except Steam. The only reason I deal with Steam is they are super cheap with there sales and I can have multiple computers running the game and a lot of them sync the game data for you. They have proving over a 6 year period to me that they are a trustworthy company and they offer features that makes the DRM a non issue for me. Magazines, Books and Music should never be DRM'ed. Watermark, add a non removable metadata tag or whatever else you need to track down the original owner in the case of piracy but do not lock me into your platform. That is an automatic deal breaker for me.

HarryT this was the reason I only paid for the first tier. I wanted to test out Magzter to see if I could deal with the DRM imposed on me. If I can not at the very least use the content on my chosen platform, Windows 10 computer and tablet then no matter how cheap the bundle is it not worth it. This looked to me to be one of the best Humble Bundles as I love Mad Magazine and to get a boat load of back issues and a one year digital subscription for $15 would be amazing if not for the DRM restrictions.
