As if MacHeist II hasn’t caused enough hype on the Apple blogosphere, here’s some more MacHeist II news. According to TUAW’s sources, they have learned that the contents of the final bundle will be announced on January 9, and it will cost the same as last year’s bundle: $49. Pixelmator is the only known app out of the 9 others that will be included in this bundle. But you’ll definitely be getting a good deal - an amazing deal in fact. Pixelmator alone costs $59, so combine that with 9 other apps and price it at $49 and you get the MacHeist bundle. Plus, as last time, 25% of the profits will go to a charity - so you’re donating to a good cause, saving money and getting more software than you could want - sounds good to me.

I think John Casasanta and Phil Ryu have got a guaranteed large paycheck from the second MacHeist. Although, there have been concerns about how much developers are receiving from this event. The MacHeist team should not be ripping the developers off, as they are making a large profit from this event. The developers are the ones who have put time and effort into making the software that is being distributed, and they should be credited equally for their work.
