Holy shit Humble THQ Bundle

https://www.humblebundle.com/

Already own all of them lol

Cant decide how to split the money up between THQ and charity. Arent they both the same thing?


Also, would I be able to give away the Company of hero games separately?

 

[Exuro]

When did the store scroll bar get giant?

 

[Wok]

I got rickroll'd by the HIB chat.

There will be some interesting stats about people watching the youtube videos of HIB.

No, one Steam key for non beat the average games, one for SR3.

 

[garath]

Dammit. I just bought Metro 2033 by itself for $5. I own all the rest of the games.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I'm in the UK.

I only want to give you my money Ubisoft!

I think a US friend would be able to send you a gift and you would be able to activate it right? ; )

 

[Glass Rebel]

I think I'll just put the Saints Row key in this post. Help yourself, I guess.

This is kinda depressing.

 

[Fantomex]

That THQ bundle is great. I was bout to pay $10 for one of those games alone.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

So how bad is THQ doing really?

I'll probably pay for the bundle if I discover I don't already own CoH Vietnam and Darksiders. I think those are the only two I don't have, and I'm not even really interested in Darksiders.

It really is a weird feeling though -- I feel bad for their developers that they've come to this.

Thank you for the key!

What is going on with THQ? I have gone through the page on Wikipedia and still have no clue.

 

[DinnerRevealer]

How are the bots in UT3?

That drawing pad basically killed the company.

You can only make a new casual type game if its insanely cheap to make and buy.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I'll get another bundle or two and gift it here.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Random question, folks.

Is it possible to send someone a message over Steam?

 

[xenoflux2113]

Had everything but the Company of Heroes stuff. I really just grabbed it for the potential additional games. Money went to THQ.

 

[Shantom]

Random question, folks.

Only if they're online.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Neat.

Thanks.

They should really call it the Humble THQ Fire-Sale.

 

[Laurentius]

Nice, snagged the Humble THQ Bundle.

Would people say the "Unreal Deal" pack is worth it? I'm guessing it'll be even cheaper during the Winter sale...

 

[Sober]

Is the SR3 soundtrack they have bundled in just whatever original scores they wrote for the game or do they have the licensed tracks?

 

[ShaneB]

Random question, folks.

As was said, can only send chat messages if they're online. But I mean, you can write comments on their profiles and they'll get notifications that they've got a new comment on their profile, which is fine enough I think.

8 tracks by a certain Malcolm Kirby, no Kanye.

All that power

That would be nice, if anyone was game.

Though release day for EU is tomorrow, so i'm guessing that's when it'll hit the store. So it's not the end of the world, if i have to wait for then.

 

[BigAT]

Is anyone else having a difficulty downloading the Endless Space trial? Clicking the link on the store page doesn't add the game to my library or do anything really.

Same, I assume they'll fix it soon.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I really wonder if this move by THQ is a smart one. I'd wager many pubs who are potentially interested in their franchises would see this as a devaluation of said IPs. And no, I'm not talking about EA specifically.

Have you tried restarting Steam?

 

[Stallion Free]

RIP THQ

You treated PC pretty well in recent years. I own damn near everything you released on the platform in the last 5-10.

 

[Baha]

Yeah this fixed it for me.

 

[Stallion Free]

Who did you shed more tears for: THQ or Amazon Tony (cheers)?

 

[MNC]

Amazon Tony got banned?

The only one I owned out of that bundle was Company of Heroes, but I didn't seem to receive an extra copy of it to gift away after buying the bundle.

Haha Oh yeah he did. It was bad.

Banned for requesting to sully the sacred sanctity of the Mega |OT| threads, a most holy GAF institution given to us by Bruce Leroy, blessed be his name.

I'd wait; it was discounted by 75% during last year's Winter Sale.

Sometimes a decent game is all you need to hit the spot.

 

[Gav47]

Wow, I wonder how much the THQ bundle will end up making, the last Android bundle made well over 1mil with just some indie titles.

 

[Glass Rebel]

RIP THQ

They made or at least published some of my favourite games and introduced me to the Warhammer 40k universe. They will be sorely missed.

LOL, brutal. I didn't ban Tony, obviously, and we definitely deserve to take a punch or two about how mega OTs got out of hand.

But do know that our intentions here are good--we like being able to interact with people from developers or companies, but we don't like viral marketing or use of GAF in a way that makes it seem like advertising. Yes, there's a thin line between the adulatory way that fans do OTs and actual formal marketing. We know that. It's a tough one. We have tried to reform OTs--EL posted an announcement thread telling people to pare things back, and things are a lot better than they were circa 2008-2009. In Tony's case, I think he meant well and generally did well, and he was really helpful in a lot of ways, but there were a few cases before the thread that got him banned where he pushed the line a little bit. CAG has a very different relationship with companies than GAF does, and that's okay. To Tony's credit, he was always willing to correct the times he went over the line, and he was very professional and apologetic. But it's important to try to draw a bright line about this stuff, and when someone's professional capacity puts them at odds with the site, well, it becomes a problem. I personally don't get paid to help out with moderation or anything, so know that when I say this stuff it's not because I'm covering for my own economic interest, it's because I actually think we made the right call there for keeping the site as viral-free as possible.

And yeah, I know there's probably tons of covert viral marketing going on that we don't catch. It's unfortunate. I wish we could do better.

If anyone has any follow up on this they can PM me instead of replying here. I probably shouldn't have even brought it up in the thread. I'm not saying we make the right call 100% of the time, and I know there's a lot of bitterness about that one in particular, but just know that there's no nefarious motive involved, it's just a tough call to make. I hope we mostly do a good job. When we don't, feel free to tell me, and I'll pass it along or try to make things more clear going forward.

I've had a lot of fun playing UT3 at LAN parties, but never owned the game...decided to snatch it up.

 

[MMBosstones86]

how does it work if they add more games over the course of the next 2 weeks?

Say i BTA today and tomorrow another game is added if you BTA, do you get that automatically then?

I usually get in on the bundles near the end and not the beginning

You get everything that gets added later if you buy now, BTA or not. That's how the last few HIBs worked anyway.

Everyone who purchased the bundle before the games were added gets them, even if they didn't beat the average.

RIP THQ

Eh. THQ might go under but definately not because of this bundle. They've been practically giving most of the games in this bundle away already in a ton of steam sales, if anything this'll probably make them a whole bunch of money fast.
