    Last desperate attempt by THQ to stay afloat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,066 ✭✭✭Washington Irving


    It's worth it for Saints Row alone. It'd want to be though since I have all the others


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,638 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    Normally I get the email right away after but this time there's no sign of it, strange


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli

    Got it about $200k ago, not a bad plan by THQ.

    If the email ever shows up it'll be great.

    Still worth picking them up for PC though for $1

    My basic understanding is their spending outpaces their income and they're starting to keel. Dropped a large budget into Darksiders II for instance and haven't made that back yet. Probably because consumer behavior has changed so dramatically in the last year or two: you might pick up a handful of full-price launch titles but most consumers will wait for sales etc. to really get the games they want to play. A real shame because they have some great IPs. They've been silent about Homeworld 3 for over a year now now when they last announced they finally got the license to make the sequel from Sierra (before Sierra was absorbed then shut down by Activision-Blizzard; god how the landscape has changed). I wish they would announce they're working on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,766 ✭✭✭farna_boy


    Just wondering, if I buy this now and pay over the average, if they add more games later, will I be entitled to the extra games? Or will it depend if what I pay now is still over the average later?

    Thanks

    If you beat the current average you will get any games they add later.

    It's a real shame as they've released some of the best games of the last couple of years. Here's hoping it doesn't affect Company of Heroes 2.

    Wow, some majorly negative reaction to this, both against Humble Bundle and THQ, may not help THQs fortunes afterall.

    AMAZING bundle, awesome. Could I have clicked buy faster. Have SRIII already, but now we can multiplayer lan :D

    I think its good new for gamers. COH is a great franchise, hopefully COH2 helps them. Saints Row 3 was amazing.
    I already own all 7 games, but will buy 3 or 4 bundles, and just gift them to people (It's Xmas time after all :P )


  • Registered Users Posts: 11 Lemongrab


    The bundle is the best I've seen, I hope it does well. THQ puts out some great games and they need all of the help they can get.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,911 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    Anyone else still waitin on their email ?

    I received mine pretty much immediately. If you log in to the site you can collect your keys there.

    Edit: If you don't have an account yet you can make one but ensure it's setup using the same address as you used to purchase the bundles as that way they're all added to your account.

    Edit 2: Actually, don't do that. It's scary stuff looking back at all the games purchased :o

    Edit 3: Though it certainly explains some of the more random items in my Steam library.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 445 ✭✭IIIAcHmEdIII


    i got my email instantly

    It might be...their stock is up 40% today.

    Lovely thanks, worked, appear to already own Humble Bundles 1-4 also.
    Got my keys, so I'll just save them now.
    Sign up with new email, rinse and repeat :D

    Tried to get a gift code, no email to my gmail either...
    Then bought another set on Hotmail, received emails immediately.
    Problem seems to be with gmail (still haven't got my original email off them yet for the first purchase)

    Just paid $6, unbelievable deal. Worth it for any one of those games alone, but I'm really looking forward to playing Company of Heroes.

    Over $1million raised from the bundle so far already - is this the biggest Humble Bundle already?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,575 ✭✭✭DeSelby83


    can you gift copies of the games you already own?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    DeSelby83 wrote: »

    No, you get one code for all the games bar Saints Row 3 which has it's own separate code.

    The **** is wrong with people, seriously? There's even articles complaining about this on more legitmate sites. Note the fact that the word "charity" isn't used once in the entire article until a Humble representative weighs in. :(

    I know right?
    It's for charity at the end of the day. If they decided to start selling hardcore porn in the next bundle I wouldn't think any less of them, so long as it made money!

    I'd be more concerned if the titles they were offering were seriously obscure with no view to actually shifting product.
