Text from Unity bundle sale FAQ: "Why would I pay more than the minimum price? Because you're awesome, and you want to support the hard work that goes into developing the incredible assets that help you complete your projects faster and better. When I pay more than the minimum amount required, who gets the money? Part of our goal in creating this huge sale is to support the artists and developers who created and published the amazing assets included in each bundle. Like any Asset Store purchase, the money is shared between the publishers and Unity."
