Seems like the minimum for the third tier fell to $8.99 at some point during those two hours.

Hmm, you're right. I don't think I ever remember that happening before. Main post updated.

Hooray! You and I completely agree on something!

Steam only... why do i even bother looking at humble bundle and half hoping for something i might want?

Actually, when it's not about this missionary stuff (you know what I mean), I tend to aggree with dtgreene most of the time, at least when it's not about the "favourite" topic that gets pushed into nearly every thread.

More boring than "I already got this on Steam. :D"?

Of course! :D

I always enjoy how Square Enix's bundles almost always tend to be more "Enix" than "Square"

Might want to revise the statement about all the games being Steam only. FFXIV is SE store key-not that it counts much as that is a MMO and you need to pay an extra $40 for the expansion plus $15/month. Don't really care about the bundle as I have what I want or got the game for free (long story). Funny part: how much effort would it be to put up a DRM-free copy of Tomb Raider 1-3 when they are here?

There isn't a single Enix game in this bundle or the previous ones. The word you're probably looking for is Eidos.
Zero. The most probable reason why they don't do it, is because they don't want to give two types of activation (a pattern consistent with their Humble Store offerings).

Bad bundle for me. I think SE will never add Final Fantasy games to their bundles.

Pass. Even though I am slightly interested to Tomb Raider and Hitman (even though they have DRM), at this point I don't have enough willpower to try to find out which games on those bundle have all the game content, and those which don't how much it would cost to buy the DLC gaming content separately.

The picked a bad time to release it. Probably that's why they modified the price from $13 to $8.99 for the higher tier.
Got the $1 ones and got Tomb Raider from Steam, on sale, as i pretty much had other ones, and i'm not an mogul, to play Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn. I hate when they do this. They did the same thing with EVE and they are doing it with coupons too. "Here, have an 20% off from an $40 game in your $3 bundle". They really don't understand what kind of people we are? Unless that coupon it's not for an free game, we don't need it. With few exceptions, probably people that have direct relationships with Humble Bundle or the charity foundations, we are all paying the minimum price. We do so because we're cheap, not because we're into "oh, let's give some money to charity".
Only thing that would make me go for more than average in the future would be Final Fantasy IV. Or some kind of naked babes pictures. Yea, i would pay for those. For charity!

I imagine players in Final Fantasy being like:
"Hey, Sir Zuckerberg, what's up with all these peasants in the game? They run naked and they disrupt our peaceful environment."
"Oh, they gave it on Humble Bundle, they'll be out in 30 days.".

if this is the worst bundle ever, what does that make the "holiday surprise" square just pulled :P

I kind of like PWYW tier, always wanted to try Life is Strange and it's nice to have 1st three Tomb Raiders, The Last Remnant is also not bad.
