Elliot B. Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Fantastic bundle :) I think Origin is crap (if you change the drive letter where your games are, you can't even make the app re-scan the old directory, you have to re-download it all again :crazy:), but I'll still bite for this :) Especially considering I only had Dead Space 2, and this comes with 1 and 3 only - perfect!

threetonesun Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I guess they took that whole multi-platform indie idea and threw it out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a special one where all the proceeds go to charities. Surely we can let it slide for something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted August 14, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2013 I guess they took that whole multi-platform indie idea and threw it out the window. Since the beginning of Humble Bundle they have done Developer Specific Bundles, the one from last week was Deep Silver, it only had their games and they were only available for Windows, They have done it for a while now. When it is Indie games and cross platform its the Humble Indie Bundle otherwise its named aptly for what it is. They even had a Book bundle once. Here is a list of the bundles in the past that i have purchased. Humble Bundle Mojam Humble Bundle for Android Humble Bundle for Android 2 Humble Bundle for Android 3 Humble Bundle for Android 4 Humble Deep Silver Bundle Humble Frozenbyte Bundle Humble Indie Bundle 3 Humble Indie Bundle 4 Humble Indie Bundle 6 Humble Indie Bundle 7 Humble Indie Bundle V Humble Introversion Bundle Humble THQ Bundle Humble Voxatron Debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just click on Download and it should just do a quick update and your games will be available again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is Indie games and cross platform its the Humble Indie Bundle otherwise its named aptly for what it is. They even had a Book bundle once. The whole point, initially, was that the games were DRM free and available on Linux, Mac, and Windows, at least as often as possible. I don't recall a bundle from a single publisher before the THQ one that required some DRM format be used. I mean, if they're using their good name to raise money for charity, that's great, but running an EA bundle just seems like a big shift from where they started.

True, and I completely agree, but all these game for cheap - in this one case - I don't care :D Cheap gamesss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 14, 2013 Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2013 I guess they took that whole multi-platform indie idea and threw it out the window. Does it really matter though? If they kept to that rule the bundles would become very far apart. Those ports don't produce themselves over night. I'd much rather they do what they're doing now (Y). Besides, there's like 10 bundles a week which do support Steam/Desura/Linux :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroSeven Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 This is a great bundle, props goto EA for actually showing some form of humanity by not only supporting charity but also giving us games at a price anyone can afford. But typical EA, their servers are overloaded again and Origin is pretty useless atm. blank 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
