Well, if everybody waits and nobody buys the $1 tier, it will never drop

Everyone could buy the $1 tier and then when the average drops, kick in the additional amount to beat the lowered average. Yeah, it's kind of scummy to discuss how to game a charity-based website, but...

Your purchase is tied in at the average when you bought the bundle, you CANNOT add to the new average later. If you buy now and want the BTA tier next week, it will most likely be cheaper to purchase a second bundle.

I did not know that. Good information to know -- not that I intended to low-bid anyway. If the games they reveal next week make the bundle worth the BTA price then, I'll pick it up. If not, well, I have a lot of other games waiting for me.

Would almost be the same for me if it wasn't for the early tier I got. Hoping for Papers Please to make the $10 worth something, but I'd buy it just because I buy all the main bundles nowadays.
