The Front • TextMate Unlocked (For Real)
There's been lot of drama going around on whether or not we'll make it to $100k of donations for charity so that TextMate will be unlocked. Drama was great for My Dream App when the voting became extremely close...it added to the fun and excitement of the event. But nobody really benefits in this case.
Right now, it looks like the $100k charity plateau may not be a realistic goal.
So, we've decided that it benefits everyone involved here if we unlock TextMate now.
But what about the charities you ask? The amount that'll be donated is around $70k right now. If the final amount to charity doesn't reach the original $100k threshold, MacHeist will cover the difference so that no matter what a minimum of $100k will be donated.
Enjoy TextMate and the rest of the bundle!

I'm guessing that this announcement might drive us through $100k anyway...

Well, the people who were holding out for TextMate have nothing to worry about now, and considering that it's also payday for a lot of people, I'm expecting a serious surge this weekend. I think it'll taper off right at the end.

And assume the license will be generated and sent out to us?
I've followed all the heists and was one of the early bundle buyers caught by the PayPal bug. But only now am I making my first forum post to say: great news!
Thank you to Phill and the MacHeist team, for making good on your promises, sorting out the glitches that came along, and keeping the Heisters happy.
I know that MH has caused some serious controversy in the last few days, but I think the team have been very professional and this latest move is another example of that.
Smart move, this way you will probably make more sales too..

Congrats to Macheist for doing a very decent thing. I would imagine that this will actually boost the final number going to charity be it by design or otherwise, all in all everyone wins...can't wish for more than that!
