Cards Against Humanity: data on pay-what-you-want holiday pack -- plus $70K donation to Wikimedia

Andrew, sez, "Cards Against Humanity (the Kickstarter-funded, adult version of Apples to Apples) made a 'pay what you want' holiday expansion. They published the results of the experiment."

Camille adds, "The results are detailed and interesting...they list out their costs and revenues, with a map showing average price paid by state, and a fun exploration of what they could buy with the profit they made ($70K). And the best part is...they didn't buy any of that stuff, and instead made a generous donation to Wikimedia!"

Cards Against Humanity: Pay-What-You-Want Holiday pack (Thanks, Andrew and Camille!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

This warms the cockles of my heart, especially given the memo line.

They bank with The Private Bank. That (too) is awesome.

  I’ve never heard of The Private Bank. I went to their website, but it didn’t help me to figure out why they are so cool?

  Sadly I think you will need to wait and hope they do this again in 2013… that is if the Mayans were wrong.
  In the mean time I will gloat at having my own answer card that says Elf Cum.
