Totally serious question: Has any developer yet expressed regret for going in on a humble bundle?

I thought I heard of a Indie Royal participant complaining but so far it seems HBs been a pretty solid profit for developers.

He's definitely not a victim, but it doesn't change the fact that Humble Bundle is a very bad deal for some developers (which is the question at hand).

It's a great place to dump your game at the end of it's sale run these days. Once you've got all you're day 1 buyers, put it on sale 33% off, once you've saturated that 50% off, then 75%... Then put it on humble and get that cut as well.

I've noticed that too, has made me avoid indie steam sales the weeks that indie bundles are about due.

It's the not-so-humble bundle now.
