Additional apps are unlocked if enough users participate.

This time they are doing a smaller bundle for free. The 6 apps are ShoveBox, WriteRoom, Twitterrific, TinyGrab, Hordes of Orcs, and Mariner Write*.

How can MacHeist make money?

When the software titles are updated in the future, some people pay for the new version of the apps. The software developers make money from the optional upgrades by users who like the apps.
