Well it seems that we haven't gotten any information about the HIB #2 statistics from the blog or humblebundle.com yet, however John did a presentation about the HIB at the GDC.

Well it seems that content from the GDC is available now, which includes the presentation slides of all presentations for free.

Unfortunately the keynote file format of the presentation makes it hard to view the slides from my windows computer, but we can extract the pictures and finally we can see some of the statistics for the HIB 2

If you are interested, here is the by group breakdown:
EFF $295,563
Child's Play $339,577
Humble Tip $133,492 (we need to add exactly 208 to the tip :p)
Developers $1,054,005

Nice haul, especially without the need for multiple middle men to take away 80%+ of the money.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be enough information to determine the HIB 2 split between developers
But did you know that the HIB was featured on the local news channel king5? 8)

$200,000 per dev really isn't bad for a couple of weeks of the sale!

Also, I'm surprised how much the humble tips added up to! Those are the running costs for humble bundle inc. for quite some time, I guess.

The tip was actually an adjustable with the splitting of your contribution. Nobody had to give any tip if they didn't want to, but the default split was something rather than nothing.

Who knows what would happen if the tip wasn't substantial enough to pay the bandwidth costs, John might not consider future bundles if they can't pay for the bandwidth.
