The Humble THQ Bundle

[Joe88]

The Humble THQ Bundle is here with a colossal onslaught of esteemed titles. Pay $1 or more for Steam keys for Company of Heroes (and its two full-blown expansions Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor), Darksiders, Metro 2033, and Red Faction: Armageddon. And if you pay over the average price you’ll also receive the extraordinary Saints Row: The Third!

I think this is now officially the best bundle yet, though some people are saying this is now corrupting the purpose and idea of the humble indie bundle, to each his own but you get some great games either way for cheap.

Note:
paying below $1 will only get you soundtracks to the games, no DRM-free versions like previous bundles
paying $1 or more will get you the games redeemable on steam + sountracks
paying above the average will get you everything listed above and saints row the third + other bonuses they throw in.

this bundle is Windows + Steam redeemable only, there are no DRM free versions or anything for other operating systems

Yeah was just about to post about this. Holy shit is that a bundle.

Average is at $5.20 at this very moment.

I don't think anyone is denying the good deal part, but that does ruin the idea, not to mention it already reeks of THQ schemes.



That said, grabbed though, for metro and drmfree darksider.

 

[Scott-105]

Just payed $5.50 for it. Can't wait to get home to play some games

 

[Lanlan]

Wow. Like, wow. Last time I bought a humble bundle they added a bunch of crap afterwards and pissed me off. So I'll wait.

 

[zygie]

$5.50 here too, could've waited shamelessly to be cheaper, but nah. Each game is worth more than my paltry contribution.

These are very not-DRM free. They're Windows+Steam ONLY.

Edit - not that most of us mind Steam at this point.

Geez, they're all Windows only too? Was just about to give my Mac friend a bundle. :/

 

[DaggerV]

Oh steam only :/ bleh to hell with that noise, that does kill the spirit completely.

WTF. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this. WHAT?! These aren't Indies of course, but who cares?
Plenty of other bundles aimed at indie, I would love some more big-time titles in these bundles.

...You know, whenever they add stuff to the bundle they add the new stuff to your download page even if you bought it before they added them.

I looked for stuff but couldn't find it. I'll look again. Thanks.

You of course have to pay the average at first in order to claim them.

 

[Joe88]

early buyers did not have to pay above the average
once they add it though and you buy the bundle after you have to pay above the average

and everybody make sure the money goes to charity and not THQ in the donation box

 

[Lanlan]

Apparently I never created an account
I created one and claimed my previous order, I'm downloading the stuff I missed now

 

[Gahars]

I think "humble" is a bit of an understatement here. If I was a cynical man, I might start lobbing around the word "desperate" in its place.

Anyway, that is an amazing deal. If this is what "corrupting" the humble bundle system looks like, then I'm all for it.

Oh nice, I see I have an extra steam for Wizorb, BIT.TRIP.RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles, and Jamestown. Too bad I already have them somehow.

If you already have a game, they DON'T give giftable copies, they just don't. Better to sit this one out then.

QFT. I paid 1 USD last Bundle, I got 6 games immediately, and 1 week later I got another 5 games, for nothing. 1 USD nets me 11 Indie games.

I gave everything to THQ though, sorry. They are the ones making this possible in the end.

Wat. I have the games I mentioned in the post already, but I've bought the THQ bundle already. Just went and made an account and they told me I could get a Steam key for Wizorb, BIT.TRIP.RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles, and Jamestown. (Which again I already have. )

To be fair, considering THQ's considerable financial troubles, both options are one and the same.
