The Humble THQ Bundle

[Bells]

What... the ... hell..

http://www.humblebundle.com/

Ok, how does THIS look like?

Pay $5.59 Right now, and get on Steam...

Darksiders

Saint's Row The Third

Metro 2033

Red Faction Armaggedon

Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes opposing Fronts

Company of Heroes Tales of Valor

PLUS all Soundtracks


This... is totally insana. And you just know that Bundles usually add stuff when they are close to their ending date, and this has 13 days to go Still. And mind you, the average of $5.59 you have to pay to get Saint's Row 3, is likely to increase over time.

So, guys... get this. Get this RIGHT NOW. Best deal of the year...

If you didn't know, THQ is pretty much about to collapse. Their finances are dire due to the failures of Homefront and uDraw.

I just wonder what's going to happen regarding Metro Last Light if - or rather when - they pack up. Also, I think Obsidian are making a South Park RPG that would be getting published by THQ, so Obsidian may get screwed over once more.

[Bells]

That being the case, more power to them for going out with a Charity Bundle, more the reason to pay up for it!

I picked it up to support THQ. Don't wanna see people lose their jobs.

Does anyone know if it redeems into something in your steam inventory, or if it just immediately gives it to you? I got the giftable code, to have options, but I want to know if I am safe redeeming that, so I can trade it?

[Kim]

You can't trade the games once you redeem the code.

[rpgdemon]

Thought so, thanks for confirming it.

I can't wait to see which donor-with-an-embarrassing-name-or-job takes the top of the list here.

Being Chris Avellone is suffering.

Eh, the only game out of those I'd care for is SRIII. And I already have that. Twice. Can't say much about Darksiders, heard it's decent. But Red Faction Armageddon is kind of really mediocre (and I have it) and I don't even know or care what those others are. Maybe some other games that get added later can sway me.

Metro 2033 is all about Bourbon, Vodka, Nazis, Communists and angry Librarians.

I'm surprised THQ would be doing so poorly, given all the positive attention and hype Saints Row 3 received a year or so ago.

[Kim]

Saints Row did well. Several other very expensive projects did not.

[Jagos]

I thought they were making a fourth one too...

[Bells]

they have a lot of WiiU Titles coming and others like the new Metro game, but the studio is in bad shape. It's not like it's closing down NOW, it's just that they are pretty much running out of ammo.

This Bundle, i would wager, is more likely a way for them to see how valuable their IP's are in the eyes of the public... even if the average price is still quite low for these games, they pretty much pocketed a milion dollars out of the bundle... that's something i guess.

[Ryong]

You seem their shares graphs? It's nuts, they've been dropping like crazy.

[Bells]

And now you also get DLC for Red faction PLUS Titans Quest.
