Title: Humble Bundle
Post by: JamesNewman on August 15, 2013, 01:26:57 pm
I can't afford this at the moment due to some financial issues. But, it's a great deal and I thought someone might find it interesting.

You get about 8 really good games and you can choose how much to pay. Besides, the money goes to charities so at least you're helping others out. It'll last for two more weeks: https://www.humblebundle.com/ (https://www.humblebundle.com/)

Yeah I was shocked when I saw all those EA games. O.O At first I thought they were about to go out of business like THQ (who offered their last games to Humble Bundle during their final days).

I bought this package, but I didn't install any of the games yet because my hard drive is full. >.<

I saw this yesterday and was shocked with the EA games.

Also check out their weekly sale before it ends. Defcon, Darwinia/Multiwinia, and Uplink also come with their source code ;)

@Scipi got those games already :)
I just bought it and as I too was shocked by those games (surprise huh? :P ) awesome bundle, unfortunately I have the same problem as DJ so I'll have to find some stuff to remove.

It does look like a pretty good bundle this time around, doesn't it?

I have 50 GB left, but since I create a lot of videos, there are times when this fills up in a minute.

I think I'll get this and the weekly. There are lots of good games for the main and the weekly has amnesia and mcpixel.
If it doesn't tell me I can't I'll probably give away the BF3 from the humble bundle since I already have it.

Note: despite how cheap this is and some profits going to charities, some people still go torrent cracked copies of humble bundle games. X.x

You can't. It's stupid but regarding the User rights, you can't give away part of your bundle. (officially...)

You have to pay above the average (about less than $5) to get all the games. And people just give out the unused codes they don't want. This time it's codes with no downloads, so it's now kinda harder to torrent those games.

A good amount of them were big enough names anyways to already have torrents for them. I'm sure BF3 at least has had torrents for months.

If I can't give away the games I'm not sure if I'll make sure I'm above average. I'll only give $5. I would give more, but I don't really like their steam/origin only bundles where I can't use it on linux(though I love steam)

My brother comes to me and says, "Hey check out this new Humble Bundle I got". Before he could tell me what he got I said, "SHUT UP AND TAKE MAH MONEH!"

I payed ~5 bucks, and got it. But BF3 is like 24gb O.o
With my internet, I assume this is going to take about a month.

Good to see you guys found it useful. I don't see why anyone would torrent it- it's $5 for the full games and going to charity. I would buy it myself but I don't have a credit card/Paypal...

Indeed. I think people who do this would just do it to be jerks or because they are. I can't see why people do this when there are people who pay $10 for the Humble Bundle, even if they have no plan to ever play any of the included games. They only buy it for the sake of donating and find Humble Bundle awesome.

The only other reason why would be that the person has no credit card/Paypal account and that Visa gift cards are not available in his area.
