    Guys?!

    Ah screw it, I''ll give as much to charity as possible. That'll show 'em!

    Edit: It looks like it all goes to charity. Nice Job EA, I always knew you were the good guys. <3

    Check the "Yes, send me a gift code." box in step 4 of the purchase. They'll email you a gift URL which you can send to someone whenever.

    paid for this but never got the keys??

    I'm having problems too - this is from their twitter account:
    Humble Bundle ‏@humble 14m
    We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with PayPal. We will get to the bottom of it soon!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,864 ✭✭✭ozmo


    Is there normally a Paypal button - not seeing it anywhere - just google checkout and credit card etc. ta.

    “Roll it back”



  • Registered Users Posts: 21,253 ✭✭✭✭Eoin


    I paid by paypal - could it be an adblocker causing a problem?

    Took a while for the order to go through, but it's sorted now.

    Great deal, although you have to wonder if EA are in trouble launching a deal like this, they're not usually known for their generosity.

    Their Origin service has gotten nowhere and they've had major disasters like Dead Space 3, Star Wars: TOR, and from what I hear Plants versus Zombies 2 is being taken apart online due to its in-app purchases model.

    Remember the humble bundle is meant to be for "humble" Indie devs and not major software companies.
    In fact the last major that did this on Humble was THQ and look what happened to them


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,399 ✭✭✭✭Akrasia


    At this stage of the life cycle of games like Battlefield 3, they're not gonna sell many new versions of the game, however, if they give the basic version of the game away for free, they will guarantee that a certain percentage will spend money on the premium content/dlc and shortcuts to access the unlocks for kits and vehicles quickly.

    It makes perfect sense to give away these games for free, especially when there's a sequel about to be launched


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,199 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    I was thinking the same...they will lose very little sales on this as most people who wanted these games bought them last year, or in other sales. I had all but Deadspace 3 and Medal of Honor, so will just give the other keys away.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,157 ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor


    Was only browsing Steam for a game or two when my bro got in touch and told me about this. By the sounds of it its a great selection of games. And its for charity too. Awesome.


  • Registered Users Posts: 192 ✭✭billius


    purchased!! nice one OP!!

    All proceeds go to charity, not EA.

    I got the bundle but I already have Crysis 2: Maximum Edition . Anyone interested in a free game PM me stating whether you'd like it in Steam/Origin.

    How do you get them in Steam?

    If you're on the fence about it, http://i.imgur.com/dHgtwGC.png these are supposedly going to be added in later on if you beat the average.

    Also, all the keys are separate, so you can give away ones you already own which is surprisingly nice of EA.

    @faolteam You must have ticked the box for sending it as a give. Just click on the link that they give you and fill in your own email address.
