MacHeist have released this year’s bundle:
“Last year’s bundle caused a frenzy in the Mac community, selling over 16,000 copies in a week. This year, we’re setting our sights a little higher, with a larger bundle, a two week sale, and what we believe to be a stronger collection of apps. Simply put, this is the best Mac software deal in history.”
I see some neat stuff here, even as a newly minted part-time Mac user I can recognise a few sweet deals in the mix that make it a tempting offer. Then there are the claims that a percentage will go to charity — always a crowd pleaser.
However, interest is tainted by previous antics in which much tom-foolery, claim, counter-claim and questions of ethics occurred, leading one to wonder just how much of a ‘deal’ this really is.
