I'm guessing the $15 tier is there simply to drive up the average yet again.

Wow I have none of this and Civ 4 complete includes the Colonization remake too!

Robette: So... witch of them is best? :DD
4. Or 5 if you hate stacks of doom.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that Civ3 is the best.

so humble is a retail clearing house now?
no DRM free
civ 3 and 4 are the best
civ 5 is a simplified game. g and k makes it better. bnw takes it to almost civ 4.
bnw has been on sale I think down to around 7 buck region (5 bucks from your local Brazilian or Ukrainian steam trader)

I got BNW thanks to a Brazilian contact FOR 2 BUCKS on its release day. Pricing fuckup. Hell yeah.

Started playing with the IV and now playing the V.

It's true that Civ IV is for more mature gamers, it has a slow learning curve, and that Civ V is far more simplified (since it was a reborn of the franchise). At firts I felt being ripped off at Civ V, but it really got better by the years, and now I would say I prefer it to Civ IV because that way I can have fun while playing with friends that do not have any idea and also no time or willing on reading 3000 pages of information to play like a pro.

I would say that Civ V by now it's the best choice to have fun with your friends, being Civ IV the best of them in terms of complexity and "hardcore" gaming.

It would be nice if they'd do some non Steam bundles. The whole reason I started following bundles was the DRM-free aspect.

Boo. The only reason I started donating to humble bundle was for DRM free.

Indeed. I was considering buying in, but the Steam only aspect of this made me change my mind. I'm sure they're great games, but I'm really sick of the HIB people with this kind of bullshit.

It's their business and their decision, so I'm not necessarily upset. But they don't get any of my money for Steam-only bundles, and I've stopped checking their site regularly. It does make me wonder if they're going to start backing off from long-term support for DRM-free downloads, which would be a pain.

It is their business, but it's disgusting the way that they've sold out. I used to respect them, but they've watered things down to the point where i don't have any respect left for them.

I'm sure some people are happy, but there's more than enough places to get steam keys.

I think it's not a Humble Bundle thing but a 2K Games one. Anyway, that is why I prefer Indie Royale, the usually offer more DRM-Free oriented games.

First Saints Row 2, now Civ 4. Humble Bundle is out to recapture the games of my childhood, and I love them for it

Agreed.Its interesting how they don't have a forum for customer feedback (twitter/facebook aside..isnt the same) or criticism

Doesnt matter. THQ,Origin bundle WB bundle... they are associating themselves with publishers who love their drm. People will associate HiB with them as well since they sell the bloody things......and they get the tips proceeds from these
