Pay "What you want" for Adobe courses? Scam?https://www.neowin.net/news/pay-what-yo ... me-bundle/
Does this mean that you place a 'bid' and if your bid is over the average bid placed, you win? Whatever you do, don't set your coffee cup adjacent to your turps cup.

Re: Pay "What you want" for Adobe courses? Scam?I looks like the pricing model that the Humble Bundle use. (https://www.humblebundle.com/). If you pay $1 then you get (in this case) only one item. If you pay more than the average of everyone previously (currently $17.93) then you get all the content. This drives the average up over time. I allows people to pay what they think it's worth. You can't however pick and choose which bits you want as it's a "bundle". In the case of the humble bundle a proportion of what you give goes to various charities - so you get a good deal and get to be a good person ($135,000,000 donated so far). However that's not the case for the Neowin site. You also need to "redeem" the codes within a certain time.
Doing a bit of poking about they appear to be reselling courses available elsewhere and a google of the names brings them up. Quite where they get their $199 value for each course from I'm not sure as the ones I found were available from the video producers for around $45 each... Is it a scam? Probably not. Neowin's been around for a while - apparently they are part owned by Stardock (a software house). Is it a deal? That' depends on how much you'd normally spend on this kind of content.

Re: Pay "What you want" for Adobe courses? Scam?Wow! That's great background, Chris!
But I still think it's a good rule of thumb to only buy software from "reputable" sources, even if you have to pay a bit more. Trying to get a good deal can often cost you. HP Envy with 2.9/4.4 ghz i7-10700 and 16 gig of RAM running Windows 11 Pro
Re: Pay "What you want" for Adobe courses? Scam?So - related to the above it seems the Humble Bundle are moving in on the video software market. Their current Vegas bundle is at https://www.humblebundle.com/software/v ... e-software - At the time of writing you can get
For $1 or more - Fastcut Plus Edition For $21.64 or more Audio Studio 12 & VEGAS Movie Studio 15 For $25 or more VEGAS Pro 15 Edit - VEGAS DVD Architect & HitFilm Movie Essentials Each tier includes all the software from the previous tiers - so the $25 tier is all the software listed. I note that they are older versions - but you can give some - or all - of the money to charity (Hilarity for Charity). I've brought quite a bit from humble over the years (all games...) so you shouldn't have any problems.

Re: Pay "What you want" for Adobe courses? Scam?According to the information on Wikipedia, Humble Bundle was acquired in 2017 by Ziff Davis. The business is in San Francisco and has 60 employees.
