I also own four of those. Too bad they didn't include the Dawn of War games. Maybe those will be added in a few days for people who beat the average.

I would feel guilty for chipping in on this.

Will make mental note to purchase Darksiders at full price sometime later.

If you do, please beat the average. Even if you give it all to charity and none to THQ, it'll help bring more games to the bundle and drive the price up more.

I was thinking $10.

Surprised they don't get that shit like this is WHY no one buys their games at full price.  We've all made a subconscious connection between "THQ" and "will be 5 bucks in a month"

The logical endpoint being, "THQ will be 5 bucks in a month."

I'm pretty sure Darksiders 2 was 50% off within the month it came out. These may not be new games, but they're a pretty pathetic reminder that THQ will eventually give you their games for whatever is in your pocket at any given moment.

Top spender is Jason Rubin, President of THQ.

Runner-up is Turtle Rock Studios, who're working on a shooter to be published by THQ (previous made Counter-Strike and Left 4 Dead).

Closing in at $2 million.  Most profitable Humble Bundle ended at 5 or 6 million.  Don't think the Humble Store people disclose the profit split.  Default has 60% going to THQ.


and completely unrelated (but absolutely related) here's this new gameplay trailer for Company of Heroes 2.

THQ president Jason Rubin has given $1000 of his own money to the Humble THQ Bundle.

That is, $1050. Turtle Rock Studios, the developer making an unannounced studio for the embattled publisher, paid $1024.

The THQ Humble Bundle, which launched yesterday, allows players to name their price for a collection that includes: Metro 2033, Darksiders, Red Faction: Armageddon, Company of Heroes and its two expansions, Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor. If you pay more than the average you get Saints Row: The Third as well.

The astonishing deal set tongues waging last night and saw THQ's stock price rise almost 38 per cent.

At the time of publication there were 343,216 purchases. Total payments were $1.965 million. The average purchase was $5.73.

Other contributors include @WrapBootstrap ($1000), an anonymous buyer ($600), YesTheTruthHurts.com ($300) and GameDev.net ($251).

They email you a link with the key page, when you go to the page it gives you your keys IIRC.

I bought it. Can I access all my keys separately? Their description makes it sound like I only get one key and I can't access it if I fuck this up.

Post by: Joe Molotov on November 30, 2012, 12:52:43 PM
I didn't buy this bundle, but usually there's one key for the main bundle and a second key for the Beat the Average game(s) (in this case Saint's Row 3).
Title: Re: Another day, another cheap ind...wait, what (Humble THQ Bundle)
Post by: demi on November 30, 2012, 12:53:24 PM
So I can't give out the games separately? I don't plan on using these. I just wanted to be a bro and help out THQ.

For now you get two keys:  one for Saint's Row the Third (if you beat the average) and one for everything else.  If more games are added in the future, those will be on a third key.

Ok so how does it work with steam? You just add the humble bundle and it adds all those games at once? What if you own some already?
Title: Re: Another day, another cheap ind...wait, what (Humble THQ Bundle)
Post by: Fifstar on November 30, 2012, 01:13:37 PM
You can add to steam or gift each key seperately and you get all the games associated with that key. If you already own a game of a key you add for yourself,you're out of luck, you can't gift those if they're on the same key.
Title: Re: Another day, another cheap ind...wait, what (Humble THQ Bundle)
Post by: demi on November 30, 2012, 01:15:25 PM
Ok. So basically it's an all or nothing deal? I paid the average so I should have the bundle and Saints 3.

You can give the Saints Row key separately from the other bundled games.  That's it, though.
Title: Re: Another day, another cheap ind...wait, what (Humble THQ Bundle)
Post by: Fifstar on November 30, 2012, 03:51:13 PM
1 Key for Saints Row 3, one for the 6 other games. If there are additional games added to the bundle (this was the case for most off the humble bundles) those will be on a third key.

I've actually  made it half way through Metro on Xbox. Pretty good game. Very atmospheric. I beat SR3 on consoles. Pretty good game, but I think the middle drags a bit.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Game of the Year Edition added as another bonus for beating the average.

Average is currently $5.63.  764k+ purchases.  $4.3 Million.
