A decent chunk of games have Steam keys. Convinced me to get one.

I have a morbid curiosity to actually try out DS3. Just to see how bad it is.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Look, let's get some perspective here, people:
I hate EA. I hate what they're doing to the industry. I think a PC ecosystem where EA is a dominant player is a nightmare scenario. I have never even been particularly fond of EA games in general, either.
However, EA isn't filled with evil people punching out sequels in-between trips to an all-you-can-masticate baby buffet.
They are very active in supporting LGBT rights, not to mention other charitable endeavors they fund through sales of some of their games.
Is it a smoke screen? Is there no such thing as true altruism and everything, no matter how imperceptible, is just a play to further your genetic code?
Those are interesting questions, but not ones that are particularly relevant to them offering up a bunch of games and giving the proceeds to charity.

Mirror's Edge and Dead Space have no DRM on Steam. They're excellent.
Also, the average price is going down... hmm. Never had that happen in a Humble Bundle before.
For new page, sorry for the spam.

Just bought Saints Row IV. Normally the only games I buy day-one are fighting games, Volition better not disappoint.
<3 thanks!
In logging in to look at the keys - I noticed that I bought the Spiderweb software one and don't even remember doing it.

Yes, you can.

I bought a couple, won a couple through modbot and from my acquired goods, I've only played Sleeping Dogs (done with the main game and nightmare dlc) and Dark Souls (died 100 times).
Still, I have this weird urge to buy more stuff that I probably won't play right away.
I need to decide whether to spend money this month on steam, or on the recent Vita sale that's going on

i'm even surprised they're offering steam keys for the games on steam. Most if not all online distributors(amazon etc) only offer origin keys for sale
thief deadly shadows http://store.steampowered.com/app/6980/?snr=1_4_4__43
75% off at 2.24$ is the daily deal on steam btw

Think this is the way to go for now, pending something interesting being added to the BTA.
How many people would be interested if it were just Origin keys. They tried that once a while back with a different bundle.
This game kind of got lumped together with DX invisible war in the hate-a-thon but it's actually a really good game. Well worth it.
Buy in now, and you'll get the bonus games when they release without having to add to your donation.

Nothing! I said nothing!
Does anyone want a Hotline Miami steam key?
I'm in for that too. Holy crap. 8 games for $5.74 total. And $4.74 of that, for me, came from selling cards. Good day indeed.

first ModBot, now Google Wallet??
That's because most Humble Bundles have as incentives games people actually want.

Insta-buying Thief II. I'm playing through the first game and loving it.
Having Steam codes was the difference between me buying and passing it up. I have too many games as it is that I don't need Origin games too
. I'll modbot the Origin only codes if I can.It's absolutely amazing on 360. Not sure how well it was implemented on PC.
Paradise? It's pretty awesome. Got a huge amount of single player stuff and the free roaming multiplayer is a blast if you have folks to play with.
Always heard enthusiastic words on that, from anyone who played it, so I'm gonna assume it's a good one.

ModBot is gonna have some work to do later.
$1.25, I beat you.
Also can't run like half of these games, lol. Guess It's time for another giveaway.

So what do we think the late bta unlocks will be?
The noticeable by its absence DS2?
Dragon Age Origins Ultimate collection to hype the upcoming DA3?
a Bad Company?

Thanks for posting this. The daily seems to be -75% on all the Thief games, not just Deadly Shadows.

What do you want them to do, beg?
Let's hope not. This isn't altruistic. It's designed to help EA's public perception while also doing something good for the charities involved and for consumers. But it's not altruism, and thank goodness it is not. "If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject." /Rand.
Holy Shit!
I just put Thief II on my wishlist the other day, bought.
And I am sure will be on ebay very soon.

The best thing about this being an EA bundle, is that they have such a top quality back log, that the weekly additions could be anything. It could be Crysis 1, Dead space 2 (most likely one of them), a mass effect game, a need for speed game. It would be sweet if we got 3 or 4 games though.
Always heard enthusiastic words on that, from anyone who played it, so I'm gonna assume it's a good one.
Thanks for the responses. It seems the PC version has gotten positive reviews at a quick glance, so will probably get that.
$19.99
Not sure about what the cheapest was, but I think this is the cheapest it has ever been. Unless you got it for free with that Origin coupon deal lol.
I'm hoping for ME3 or a more recent NFS.
