jamyskis: As I said in my rant thread before, I'm done with PC gaming, and this hasn't changed.
So you wont get any more games from GOG?

StingingVelvet: Previous games in the HIB were Steam only before hand. It's not that hard to remove Steam, I assume you know pirates do it on day one all the damn time.
Well, it is harder if you want to remove it properly... pirates do not care about "tidyness" and resort to stub DLLs and such

Don't leave! We need you, friend.

jamyskis: Well, this is the biggest missed opportunity of the century.
Even more than Deus Ex 2?

You're going to quit PC gaming for DRM reasons when the current consoles are so tied to internal servers for patches, DLC and downloadables it's insane? When the next consoles, just a year away, will surely emulate a Steam style account activation system and be even more online? When they're closed systems much harder to circumvent and have shows with the original Xbox and PS2 that they WILL shut down support for older games and forever block redownloading?

Okay then.

Which of the games in this bundle are complete, with all official DLCs (if any)? I'd have to add the price of buying some DLCs separately to the actual price. Of the listed games, I only have Metro so far, so certainly it is a good price, even if they are mere Steam keys.

Dunno, maybe I'll pay the absolute minimum to get the other games besides Saints Row 3. I'm not that hot after it anyway after playing it during the free Steam weekend. Maybe I'll still get its SR3: The Full Package from Steam when it hits under 5€. Or more if it ever comes to GOG.

The good thing about Steam and DRM games is that I don't feel bad at all to pay as little as possible for them. "Help the developer"? Offer the games DRM-free first biatches, then we'll talk! ;) I might even rebuy them at that point.

Wow, this is an unexpected punch in the stomach. Hard to describe with words how much I am disappointed of Wolfire right now. They betrayed one of their crucial core principles! I'm speechless.

SirPrimalform: Back when they added Steam keys for the HIB1, I asked them with exactly that kind of concern. Jeff (Rosen I presume) personally said "Don't worry, that is the polar opposite of what the humble bundle is about!".

I believed him. =(
Yep, it sucks.

Strike one.

That's why i switched from PS3 to PC. I thought that PC support would be better due to unofficial patches and mods for games. Plus i can fix my pc if it goes wrong.

I think only Saints Row 3rd is the only one that has DLCs released.

Red Faction: Armageddon has a DLC. None of them are included as far as I can see. THQ are likely hoping to get some DLC sales out of this.

Lol, you people are silly - you get 7 (SEVEN!) great games for a really low price (and 2 of these 7 games are quite new - Saints Row and Red Faction Armageddon) and you are still complaining about it.

I get it that someone might not like DRM (i dont like it myself, thats why i prefere gog to steam) but c'mon - how can you make it such a big deal when the games are given away nearly for free.

I cant imagine how anyone could make a better deal - they would have to give it for free or even pay us for getting it.

Oh, I was checking my steam account on steam client and it didn't show any DLCs to buy.

Thanks for correction.

Metro has a single DLC, but it's completely free and just installs with the game on Steam, so ... This was a slightly pointless information.
