Support NeoGAF

[SturokBGD]

Haha, Fork motherfuckin' Parker.

 

[Shorty11857]

I don't even understand why they are doing this. They hardly get any of the proceeds for crying out loud.

The default split is for most of the money to go to the devs?

 

[Jockel]

Can't redeem my Saints Row 3 key on German steam.
Why, thanks!

 

[Kouriozan]

Fuck, I'm at work. Can't buy it right now.

Hope the average doesn't go up to much.

Nah it keep decreasing :lol
$5.16 right now.

 

[CambriaRising]

I'm disappointed by the indie devs reactions. I wish I hadn't seen them, especially Terry's tweet.

The reaction is really kind of shameful though. Fuck them.

 

[Massa]

Soon enough the average price will reach THQ's stock price.

 

[SoulPlaya]

I've already got SR3 on 360, but the others should be worth it.

 

[GayForMaster]

Darksiders... nice. Grabbed everything for a dollar.

 

[jediyoshi]

This is, sadly, probably going to backfire for THQ

Backfire from their current trajectory?

 

[Durante]

I don't even understand why they are doing this. They hardly get any of the proceeds for crying out loud.

Huh? I'd guess most people don't bother to change the percentages, so they get a good share.

Also, I'd assume that one of the thoughts behind this is that people will buy DLC for these games, or their sequels.

 

[Clydefrog]

what an amazing deal!

 

[BobLoblaw]

I already own all of them, but goddamn THQ.

 

[M.D]

Get SR3 now. Wait till December to buy the season pass for 5 bucks on the Steam sale.

SR3's DLC is pretty bad and the main game is pretty good.

The DLC should not be a big concern.

Oh man...

There were so many games I want to play that I could've bought last week for dirt cheap, but I kept myself from buying them just so I could get them on PS3

I will get this!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

This is, sadly, probably going to backfire for THQ

Bundle already made 100k so no.

 

[C-Jo]

Sure, why not!

 

[Carl]

Pros: Charity does well out of it
People get great games for cheap
Humble gets more money to host future bundles
More eyes are drawn to humblebundle and more people on the mailing list = more potential buyers for future bundles.

Really hard to see what indies are whining about.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Is Darksiders worth a buck?

 

[topplehat]

$5.50 seems like a good price for Saints Row 3 and Darksiders, the rest I either own or don't care about.

 

[marrec]

Bundle already made 100k so no.

That's more profit than Darksiders 2.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

What's the highest a humble bundle has ever made?

 

[Orca]

First Molyneux ruins Kickstarter and now THQ ruins Humble Bundle. Those poor downtrodden indie devs.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

$5.50 seems like a good price for Saints Row 3 and Darksiders, the rest I either own or don't care about.

Too bad you can't gift them. I would love to gift away Metro 2033.

 

[Fare Godmace]

Can't redeem my Saints Row 3 key on German steam.
Why, thanks!

Try to speak with the Humble Bundle support guys. Maybe you can ask for a refund or something

Spoiler

and give away the key here.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Is Darksiders worth a buck?

No doubt about it.

 

[Cbajd5]

Bought for $5.50.

Also it's really great THQ is doing this through the Humble Bundle site and giving some money to charity.

 

[Sinatar]

1. I don't see a problem with this, it's not like it prevents Indie's from having bundles in the future.

2. If you don't own these games then you would be an absolute nutjob to pass it up.

 

[Salsa]

I'm disappointed by the indie devs reactions. I wish I hadn't seen them, especially Terry's tweet.

same here. kinda baffled

 

[gabbre]

Wow internet, you can really complain about everything

 

[Foshy]

Bundle already made 100k so no.

I wonder how much of that actually went to THQ.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Huh? I'd guess most people don't bother to change the percentages, so they get a good share.

Also, I'd assume that one of the thoughts behind this is that people will buy DLC for these games, or their sequels.

I already said it in the Steam thread but I think this might potentially hurt the value of their IPs. I'm probably sounding really paranoid but I really hope this doesn't have any negative effect on the devs.

 

[Decado]

I'm sad to see the average price dropping. Common guys, THQ has been one of the better publishers over the past 6 or 7 years.

 

[jj984jj]

WTF? I don't know if I should be laughing or feeling pity for THQ right now.

 

[Durante]

Pros: Charity does well out of it
People get great games for cheap
Humble gets more money to host future bundles
More eyes are drawn to humblebundle and more people on the mailing list = more potential buyers for future bundles.

Really hard to see what indies are whining about.

Not just that there's a number of significant pros, are there even any cons?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Is Darksiders worth a buck?

Worth atleast $5.20. Gets you Saints Row for free lol.

 

[Shorty11857]

What's the highest a humble bundle has ever made?

$5.1 million for Humble Bundle V

 

[Mister0079]

Indie devs are mad only because this is better value than all of the previous bundles combined.

 

[Kouriozan]

What's the highest a humble bundle has ever made?

.

 

[infinityBCRT]

$3.41 (current default share to THQ based on avg price) * 22k bundles = $75k in sales in like 50 mins? Not bad.

 

[Tempy]

As a developer I'd like to virtually slap each and every one of you little dipshits who does this.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Some of those tweets are just awful to read.

 

[CTLance]

Aw. I gave them 6 bucks just for the OST downloads.

Reposting:
Warning to fellow Krautgaffers:
The SR3 key appears to not work with German Steam accounts!

 

[KNT-Zero]

Already got it for $1. I've always been curious about Darksiders, being REALLY cheap on Amazon several times.

I don't care about the other ones, wish I could gift them :/
Oh well.

 

[Primethius]

I paid above the average and didn't get the SR3 key. Noooooooooooooooooooo! That's the game I wanted.

 

[Haunted]

What the indie devs complaining don't understand is that the requirement for getting a Humble Bundle isn't being an indie dev, the requirement is that you have to be a broke-ass motherfucker.

THQ was the natural choice.

 

[chaosblade]

Got this and will give it to my brother for Christmas. Figure he'll like Company of Heroes at the very least, might enjoy the others too.

 

[Nokagi]

Didn't have any of these so I bought for a dollar. =x Feel kinda bad.. gave the whole dollar to THQ though!

 

[inky]

Indies really need to STFU.

 

[JDSN]

Went in for 10 to THQ, this pack is certainly better than the crappy bloatware like VVV or Rochard. Funny to see the little indie devs being bitter about this, I guess donating to charity is not the point.

Kotaku even joined the carnival of stupid:

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Do these keys work in the UK?

 

[Gowans]

WOWOWOWO!!!

Bought!
