This is quite a nice bundle to be sure. The only problem is I already own everything except some Saints 3 DLCs and Riptide which I might pick up at some future date when it is 10 bucks or less.

My apologies if this has already been addressed in the thread earlier but does anyone know if this is for a single Steam key for the entire bundle of do they give you individual Steam keys for the various games? I might like to buy one for gifting purposes later on if I can give away the games individually.

Well, not considering that it is very much against HB's terms and wishes to split up the bundle, this time it is compound keys only. There is 1 for the first tier, 1 for BTA and 1 for Riptide. If there are any bonuses next week, I guess it will be 1 key for them all also (or the bonuses may be added to the BTA key entry)

Is it? I can see them not liking for someone to say, keep DRM free games and then give away "spare" keys for other places like Steam and Desura which would result in multiple copies per title being used by a single purchase. Otherwise though, isn't this one just Steam games only? In that case, say I buy four titles in a bundle. To my thinking that means I paid 25 cents each and if I want to give away 50 cents worth of them, not retaining "extra" copies of those games for myself, why not?

Anyway, it is their company and the publisher's games so they can make any rules they like. That doesn't bother me but I don't really understand the thinking behind it in this particular bundle.

As I said, I already own all of them myself and would not purchase Riptide at this price. So for me, I might have given away all but Saints 3 to my nephew and given that away to someone else. I don't think I'd be a bad person doing that but maybe I am wrong.

Edit: Sorry! I almost forgot to thank you for answering my question. Thank you! :D

Yes it is:

"If I already have a game(s) in the bundle do I have the ability to gift the extra copy in the bundle?
Unfortunately, if you already have a game in the bundle you will not be able to gift the extra games to a friend.

Please consider your bundle a "unit", and not to share copies of the games or Steam keys from it.

If you'd like to give a copy of the games away, we have a system in place that allows you to buy a gift key from www.humblebundle.com so your friends can have access to direct downloads as well as any Steam or other keys we have included."

and:

"Can I sell/give away my keys?
Each purchase is intended for use by one individual. Please read our Terms of Service."

Apologies for banging on about this :)

nijuu: Im surprised Sacred 2 Gold doesnt come with a DRM free copy as it *is* available.
This is precisely what I said would happen in the legendary THQ Bundle thread. The very existence of that bundle has basically opened the door for anyone to go "Nah, I'd rather it just be a Steam key...".

EDIT: I'm not saying "Told you so!" to you particularly, but there were a lot of people who couldn't see why that bundle was a bad thing.

I really need to upgrade my PC. I have Saints Row 3 just sitting there from a past bundle but I can't do it justice on this machine, and I guess the same could be said for Dead Island: Riptide. Guess Risen 2/Sacred 2 are worth a go though.

Damn! I did not realise this was Steam only, I had to go open steam and use a code to install it. How dare they make me open steam... my computer is already scratching it's itchy crotch after using Steam!

Huh. The only game I had was saints row 3 rom another bundle. i paid 5 bucks to beat the average and added my two keys, but i already had SR3 installed. When I put in the key that would let me play dead island and access SR3 full package, steam offers to install Dead island. I decline and... that's it. I don't see the dlc for SR3. My gamepage hasn't changed to full package or anything. Would I need to uninstall my old SR3 copy? Do i get each DLC separately? Are they all unlocked within the normal game?

They're all in the game.

Go to your Steam game list in the program, right click on Saints Row 3, then click on "Show Downloadable Content". All the DLC will be listed.

And if you already have SR3 installed it won't ask you to install it again. That's why you only got a prompt to install Dead Island. You already have all the SR3 DLC downloaded, the key only unlocks it.

Right-click the game in your list and select "View Downloadable Content", you should have a big list of DLC available. If you don't then something is wrong.
Steam might take a while until it decides to start downloading the content but it should update itself in a while.

Yup. There it is, thanks! (and to Foxhack too!)

Smannesman: That sucks, unless the Full Package includes SR3 as well.
Just in case no one has addressed this yet (no time to read all the replies), the full package is the DLC only as you get the base game in the first tier.

Well, now we can assume Deep Silver is an Indie game Publisher like Telltale, Klei, Double Fine....

So, no more full or sale purchase for Them .. Just wait for bundles...

I eager for Saint Row 4, Metro Last Light, Don't Starve, TWD 400 Days in HIB for $1...Bring it on !!!!
Posted July 31, 2013
Not a bad bundle of games although i have most of them but paid $5 for Dead Island GOTY and Risen 2.

I can see Deep Silver strategy here. They paid a lot of money for the likes of the saints Row franchise and this is a way to squeeze some cash back for it also with Saints Row 4 due within the next month this can only help advertise the saints row brand. Also Sacred 3 is in development so again having sacred 2 in this is smart.

This would be a great bundle if it were DRM free.

jamyskis: No, he's a troll because he derails every single thread with this bullshit and feels the need to smugly mention that he annoyed the GOG staff into submission every single day like some snotty-nosed teacher's-pet schoolkid.

"You broke the rules, I'm telling on you!"

It's childish beyond belief, and he only does it to feel important.
A friendly advice: while accusing someone of being a childish troll, it would add to your credibility if you would not resort to name-calling.
