Heyitsjiwon Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 So, the Humble bundle is a website that gets offers from developers to sell games at a discounted price. Often you can get really good deals. Today, the humble bundle is deaturing an Origin bundle (EA). You can pay whatever you want and get access to games. The newest bundle features: Dead Space 1+3 Burnout Paradise Crysis 2 Mirror's Edge Medal of Honor Pay more than 4.54$ (As of right now. It's the average amount that people pay) and get: Battlefield 3 Sims 3 Whatever you decide to pay can be given to the developers, charity, the company that handles the humble bundle or all three. The bundle changes every 2 weeks. There's a weekly bundle as well, but it's usually not as good as the biweekly one. https://www.humblebundle.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyitsjiwon Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Really? I just checked the website and saw those awesome games. At which moment, I decided to spread the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beato Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Good deal on the other hand Mirrors Edge is probably the only one I'll actually play so I think I'll pass, not really fond of shooters. Though I guess I have many days to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyitsjiwon Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 You could literally pay just 1 dollar and get the first six games. Not to mention, you can give the keys for the other games to friends or others if you don't want the other games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought 4 copies at 10 dollars each, and I felt I paid too little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyitsjiwon Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Well, to be fair, it looks like EA is just trying to get a bunch of people to use Origin (Which is still pretty buggy) through this bundle, so even if they're not making any money. This is a good marketing stunt. Not only are they helping charity, but also they now have 280,000+ (They're probably going to reach at least 500,000 by the end) people who are now using Origin.

Steve Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 remember putting it all on charity if you decide to buy it, EA doesn't need more money, there is nothing humble about this... there should be indie games, not this, humble bundle is going to shit if they let even more companies make that their free marketing campaign...

Steve Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Giving EA money isn't even an option. that means they already get certain cut from it and just hide it! EA IS EVIL! but srsly, I don't want these games in humble bundle, I want indie games :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyitsjiwon Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 The weekly humble bundle often has a more indie selection, so check that out every week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhurai Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I already saw this and immediately bought it.... like 15 minutes after the email got sent to me or something lololololol also the currently weekly thing... the only thing I want is the Uplink soundtrack cause I already bought everything else from a previous Humble Bundle (except the alpha thing, but oh well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't like companies like EA taking advantage of that website for their own promotions of their shitty DRM service... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyitsjiwon Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well, if you look more of the popular/newer ones are only available on Origin (DS 3, BF3, and Sims 3), and the ones that are much older or are not as popular are available on steam. That's pretty intentional on Origin's part in my opinion, so yea. This in my mind is just a marketing attempt to draw people into Origin (It also looks like it's working to some extent. Their code activation function on origin went haywire due to the massive surge of downloaders and now you can't activate any games right now.)

garejei Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Got this just for DS3, since I enjoyed the fuck out of 2. Gave away my copy of MoH though, I don't need another dudebro shooter. Mirror's Edge is also excellent but I've already played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendjin Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 As people have said. It's just a way to get people on origin. I'm happy enough to make a deal with the devil on this one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left my Origin keys untouched, I just wanted the Steam stuff anyways. I just want my DRM free versions I used to get for all indie games before (that means no steam, no origin, no other drm), I still have the installations which they used to distribute through torrent for games I really liked, I can just save it and play indie games whenever I decide to, not counting on steam or anything else having good download speed (whenever there is dota or tf2 update, steam downloads very slowly). DRM free is the way to go! Go go go GOG.com~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar Badass Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah my younger brother sent me this news. I threw $10 at them and they in turn spewed out those games and the soundtracks as well. I've got Origin because I used to play SwtoR as well as the Sims... but ehhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
