Big_Boss: ...
Damn, when I read that I really hoped it would have been DRM-free... too bad it's not the case :(

If it was DRM-free I would have probably bought it at the "full" price or more just to show my support, here IFI buy it it will probably be only 1$ for Darksiders.

What is minimal price I need to pay to get soundtracks? I don't have steam so I don't care about games.

$0.01 I believe.

I kind of want this just so I can play Armageddon...

I think, this sums it up best: "This isn’t a Humble Bundle, it’s a Steam sale."

DrYaboll: 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.
Complaining about a principled ant-DRM site changing their tune, not the pricetag. Also most of us likely own the games already... this deal offered me one game I will never play, so $1 was all I was willing to play.

If it offered me new DRM free archival copies I would have paid more. Not hard to understand why I am saying as much.

The vast majority prefer Steam, no one is oblivious to that. I am sure the humble bundle people learned this over the past few years of being begged for Steam keys and seeing more key redemptions than downloads in all likelihood. None of that changes the fact a "DRM FREE BROS!" website is now "HEY LOOK STEAM ONLY!" website.

If GOG did it would you still tell us to shut up?

The funny thing is, when i started reading the thread, i wasn't even sure what all the fuss was about.... then i realized it was the first time they didn't include the DRM-free downloads.

For some reason, my mind still register GOG as the only guaranteed source of DRM-free games nowadays, while the HiB was filed under "pay what you want+charity+soundtracks&goodies" while the DRM-free bonus was never a factor when buying... and, indeed, i just realized that i've never downloaded the stand-alone installers of my previous bundles, and just registered my steam keys.

I am not this upset with Humble Bundle owners making this bundle. I'm sure they won't loose money on that.

I am upset with THQ. Like the last fucking stubborn publisher that will never abandon DRM policy even when they're are just about to go under.

low rated
Can anyone gift me an gift url? 1 dollar ( I don't want the Above the Average)
It seems my card is not getting accepted... I talked with support and they don't know what's the problem...
Thank you in advance.

timppu: 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.
Metro 2033, the Company of Heroes games, and Darksiders.

RF:A has one DLC pack (a small storyline expansion), and Saints Row 3 is a DLC fest.

Apparently the billing is getting swamped i can't seem to get too far

Steam only? What a waste.

Hopefully this is an anomaly and not a new trend. THQ isn't exactly humble or indie, either.
Posted November 29, 2012
Dunno, I've got nothing against good deals, but why does it have to be Humble? Where's the connection? I never thought of them as a "help charity, get cheap games" company, but more along the lines of "we support indie developers and don't care for DRM politics". Maybe I was wrong, and maybe it's not even such a big deal, but it still kind of ruins the Humble Bundle's previous image and unique selling point for me; worse than "GOG does not stand for Good Old Games" anymore. What makes this different from any other Gala/FaceKick/Groupee/Gamersgate bundle?

Are we sure this is not the scammer who set up a fake HIB site? ;)

Dammit, this one just hit my wheelhouse. Grrrr, I thought I was going to be able to resist buying yet more games, but they have to throw this one out there. The only one I own from this bundle is Metro2033. Sigh. So I bought the bloody thing.

On a side note, I absolutely understand what people are complaining about with regards to the HiB doing a complete about-face on the DRM.

Still, I'll take advantage of it since my policy with Steam is, even though I don't particularly like it, I'll pay 5 bucks or less for any game requiring it that I want to play. So this fits in nicely.
