Titan Quest? I bought it and got everything, including Red Faction, which was bonus. Did not receive Titan Quest. Is something wrong here?
EDIT: So i checked the web-page and i actually do have Titan Quest and a DLC for Red Faction available. In my defense, i bought the bundle many days ago and they must have added those later.

because of dark "we ripped off zelda" siders, 1& 2, because of Space Marine, because of this list of licensed mediocre stocking-stuffer crap that no one asked for or needed.CrossLOPER said:

Games are a business, let the publishers die, the good devs will be picked up by a company that doesn't waste it's time making Cars for the X360.
Of course, RSD was suppportive of charity actually doing some good. But you have a company famous for shovelware and tie-ins that has crashed in no small part due to that concept, which is exactly how business is supposed to work.CrossLOPER said:
See, he already gave a face value response. Why did you have to add concepts when it was, at face value, aimed at THQ?
So what? What obligation is there to help them out?
Also, at last count, they'd need seven times the current total for the HB to offset their massive losses. This is a drop in the bucket and unlikely to benefit them, especially since they still have to restore consumer and investor confidence. This may do one, but a fire sale is likely to have the opposite effect on the other.
And for the record, I paid ten bucks. Don't jump to conclusions with me like you did with RSD, please.
Got it. I'm particularly interested in Metro 2033 and Darksiders. While I'm no fan of Steam, getting those games for such a low price is certainly enough to overcome that dislike. However, I must say that THQ probably won't earn much from me. While I always beat the average by a margin, I give the vast majority of the money to the charities. I don't know how other people distribute their money, though.
*Buys* Yay! ^_____^
I have been wanting Saints Row and that makes it worth it alone. The other games are just an added bonus. :3

Well enjoy the dollar, because a dollar's just what you need, hey hey! (To the humble guys, of course)
THQ's new anthem
Christ I'm witty.
BUT YES THQ, YOU DID REAP WHAT YOU DONE SOW.
And yes, everything around you is indeed, crumblin' down.

A week back I paid $15, gave $13 to THQ and $1 to each charity. I kind of want those new bonuses over the one I got, Saints the third, because I already have Saints for the Xbox and my computer probably can't handle that game at all.
I very much enjoyed this song. It's a good way to start the morning.ResonanceSD said:
Don't worry about it - it's how "pay what you want" model works. If you look at top contributors, you'll see people paying upwards of a thousand dollars for the bundle. In the end, you're giving money to charity (or to the developers, or to the guys organising the charity). Give for a good cause. And if you feel bad taking the games... well give them to someone else. I got friends some games with Humble Bundle cause I wanted them to play it and any help for charity's always welcome, right?Scow2 said:Swallowing and selling them for "Whatever you care to pay" certainly IS humble, though. Unfortunately... I'd feel bad if I offered what I could afford for them... they deserve moreDVS BSTrD said:I would have thought they wanted to reward us for going over the average
Having all the titles from a major developer isn't exactly humble, but then again this IS THQ.
Thats what you get for being one of the lesser races. Filthy mac and linux offal get what we feel generous enough to hand down to them and will like it!Davroth said:
Couple things, I am very disappointed with the people buying this bundle, I paid over the average back when it was 5.73 and the average has sunken massively since then. I know there are alot of people that give generously or at the very least like to meet the average, but that only means that there are so many scrubs paying the bare minimum just to get away with it that it makes me sad. I love the humble bundle and what they do on all sides of the coin<charity, promotion, spreading gaming culture to people that would not get them normally> and once again, I'm ashamed to be human.
Secondly, yes, they are steam only, these are AAA games, they are HUGE and humblebundle is humble, they can't afford to keep servers that upload these large files up at all times, I was glad that they hosted the soundtracks so it makes sense considering that they are offering steam codes anyways to let steam handle the load. The cross platforms thing is kinda sad but considering the scale of these games, making them cross-platform would be a expensive undertaking and denying a humble bundle because of that seems like it would be hurting the players more by denying it to everyone.
I like that a nonindy bundle showed up, while I doubt it was a sign of human compassion by a corporation its nice PR and a boost in sales while providing all the normal benefits of the bundle. Though titans quest being added is lame.... atleast put the expansion in with it.... I own both and the main game is almost unplayable without the expansion in my opinion.
The new offer is retroactive; anyone who's already given money can get it. Check out your old order and you'll find new steam codes to redeem.Ham Blitz said:
Did they wrong you somehow? I can understand not liking their games, but jeez. Seems like you have an axe to grind. They may have made some bad business decisions, or some things just may not have worked in their favor, but now they're reaping what they sow? Like it's a kind of divine justice? If that's the case, what about EA or Activison? What do they deserve and why don't they reap what they sow?ResonanceSD said:
They have made some decent games and don't treat their consumers like crap the way EA and Activision do. I dontated $30, $10 to each part. It's what I could afford and feel they deserve it.
Wow, this bundle just got even better. They just added the Game of the Year edition of Dawn of War to this, which is pretty much the best 40K game ever and really awesome RTS to boot. This might not be Indie, but it sure is Humble. Good show THQ.
Just got an email that WH40k DOW was added to the bundle, man THQ is just making me love them more and more.
Well, it is the Gold edition, so you do get Winter Assault as well.Nouw said:Hey, the Dawn of War expansions need some love too
Seriously now, for measly 6 dollars or more, you're getting Company of heroes + two expansions, Metro 2033, Darksiders, Red Faction Armageddon + Path to War, Titan Quest, Saints Row the third and Dawn of War + Winter assault.
Can anyone seriously complain about that?
Upon contemplation I suppose my post was a whine-ish, but that wasn't my intent. Considering all of the Company of Heroes expansions are featured, I figured why not the rest of the expansions for Dawn of War? Dark Crusade is probably one of the best Warhammer 40,000 games, boosted by its wealth of mods that are big enough to be considered a stand-alone game. It strikes me as odd not to include them that's all. Although I suppose they can simply buy it, not like it's expensive anyway. In fact, having written this I now understand why they didn't include the rest of the expansions. It makes perfect sense! I need to give them more credit than they're getting >.>.Product Placement said:Well, it is the Gold edition, so you do get Winter Assault as well.Nouw said:Hey, the Dawn of War expansions need some love too

Just a heads up, I got an e-mail saying Dawn of War GOTY edition has been added as a bonus as well, same deal as Saints Row 3 etcAndy Chalk said:
We have another sweet addition for your gaming library! Please welcome Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Game of the Year Edition to the Humble THQ Bundle!
This awesome real-time strategy game is available for Windows and requires Steam to play. If you?ve already purchased a bundle, you?ll find a Steam key already available for you for free on your download page. New purchasers can get Dawn of War by paying over the average price for their bundle.

EDIT: Looks like I was beaten to the mark lol
For all we know the final expansions for DoW could be added within the next 2 days. Wouldn't put it past them.Nouw said:Upon contemplation I suppose my post was a whine-ish, but that wasn't my intent.
