Damn, I confused Dead Reefs with Black Sails. Otherwise I might have considered buying the lower tier for Black Sails, just for fun. Heck, even Jack Keane 1 would have been worth a thought, What remains are presumably rather average adventure games, Steam keys for the good ones that I already own on GOG, and well, Jack Keane 2 for $6. I think I'll pass.

undeadcow: Do I understand correctly that almost none of this week's Humble weekly are DRM free except Dead Reefs and Mystery Series? There's a lot of titles available elsewhere DRM free that here seem offered Steam only.

gbaz69: I concur, so few drm-free, I hope this isn't a bad sign on future HBs.
bad news is its been happening for a while lot of their weekly deals have been steam only.
I'm actually wondering.is it HB or devs who decide whether steam or DRM free or both offerred?

My guess is that it's the publishers that determine the DRM-ness of the weeklies and non-Indie Bundles.

I'd say it's a good bundle but:
- I already have the Edna & Harvey games here
- Not really interested in the Deponia series
- The low tier games don't interest me

So the only one that might interest me are The Book of Unwritten Tales games and The Raven... but I already have lots of other point'n clicks to play. I'll pass...

As a customer it's disappointing there aren't more cheap DRM free games thrown into bundles; but at the same time I can't help but wonder if that's because developers see DRM free as a "premium" service worth protecting the integrity of. Dirt cheap games are nice, but that's not necessarily going to compel devleopers to keep making high quality games only to see them end up as "pay what you will." I'd like to imagine developers see GOG as an alley in protecting the value of their products rather than slashing prices to almost free.

I have already bought more than enough adventures since Xmas so i'll pass on this Humble Weekly Sale. Yeah, my wallet is still safe! :D

I looked at this and thought "wow", then I saw it was really as Steam sale and went to go do other things.
I really do wish HB would be more DRM-free, then Steam key these days.

Fictionvision: If Jack Keane 2 was DRM free I might consider it.

Aw who am I kidding. Nope.
!! Fell off of my chair crying with laughter !!

IAmSinistar: Already have the ones of these I want, DRM-free and mostly from GOG. Sad that they didn't go with more DRM-free releases in this one, since plenty of them exist.

Still, worth it to see Jack Keane 2: The Fire Within again. May he destroy HB now. ;)
With such a limited selection of DRM-free games, he'll rightfully do so :-)

Puppy Games?

Dead Reefs is very meh. Overused bloom covers blocky models, the voice acting is out of whack, and there's a music puzzle early on.

Book of Unwritten Tales is easily worth the price of a new, full retail game. Dark Fall 1 was also very good. While I haven't tried JK2, I'm going to. Its on my GOG wishlist and I think the game looks good. Will give it an honest shot. Have heard good things about The Raven, though you can also get it if you back tBoUT2 at the $55.00 level. Everything else is just icing on the cake.... This was the fastest I've clicked the buy button in my life.

If by last 2 weeklies, you mean 2 weeks of straight DRM-Free, that was back on January with Humble Amanita Design & Friends, followed by Humble Frozenbyte Weekly.

It's a little crazy to say that, but I believe Rockstar games must be in next Humble Weekly Sale.

The week before Humble Bohemia was released, Bohemia games was on sales on GamersGate. Same for Codemasters games before Humble Codemastres. We can find this week a kind of Rockstar bundle on GamersGate.

If rumors are true, GTA 5 should be released on PC in March/April. But any marketing stuff started yet. An Humble Bundle can be the first teasing for Rockstar. Play GTA 1/2/3/Vice City/San Andreas for $1, Bully and GTA 4 for $5, and LA Noire + Episodes from Liberty City for $10 for example is a great way to let PC players speaking about Rockstar before GTA 5.

I know, this is a kind of madness, but why not ?
