AFAIK, the only other series of bundles that actually let you pay what you want is Indie Gala. They do something similar to Humble Bundle's beat-the-average, but it's always a fixed price (very reasonable though; the current bundle's bonus cost is $4.49). The other bundle series that I'm aware of (Indie Royale, Groupees, etc.) do the pay-what-you-want plan, but with a minimum price.

I meant bundles as in other Humble Bundles :p

Purchased one pack for charity 2 days ago

But, guess what:

A) I am new to steam as I already have an Xbox 360 Slim.this is a good start to pump my account.

B) They added Titan Quest, Red Faction: Armageddon Path to War DLC

After payment, I accessed the link of keys and I found the keys of the new two games automatically

Neat, isn't it !!!!!!!!!! :)

What part of this is a "humble bundle"?

- DRM-free? Nope

- Pay What you want? Not really

- Multi-platform? Nope

This is THQ selling out the Humble Bundle to peddle their products for cheap and raise some cash to stop them going under. :no:

I agree with the first and third point but it is still pay what you want. That makes it pretty humble IMO.

Guys,

THQ is in financial trouble. This really does feel like their last ditch effort to please the shareholders and generate

some cashflow to finish up the games they have in the pipeline. Metro 2034, CoH2 and SR4 (which isn't really in

the final stages of developent afaik)

So please, stop complaining about this not being a real indie bundle without DRM. Give your money to THQ, they need it.

Heck I've bought it just to help THQ and I've spent enough money on some of their games already.

#SaveTHQ

agreed

they added Titan quest and a DLC for red faction to the bundle.

And thankfully, existing buyers got it regardless of whether they beat the average or not. :) Which is good, as if I had to beat the average, it'd be cheaper now for me to just buy the whole thing again. :p

if you beat the average at the time of your purchase you got titan quest, anyone who buys it gets the dlc

All buyers got Titan Quest. I was nearly $9 below the average at the time, and Titan Quest + the Red Faction DLC showed up in my bundle. I successfully redeemed the Titan Quest key last night. :)

I don't mind showing the keys, as I've already redeemed them. Well, except for the Red Faction DLC, as I had it, thanks to Amazon's THQ bundle deal a while ago. So if anyone wants to redeem that, be my guest. ;) Just post after you redeem it so everyone knows it's gone.

Yep, if you paid above average, you will get the bonus regardless of when you paid as long as it is above the average AT THE TIME of your purchase.

I paid $6 (I was wanting just SR3) and this is a steal and I just got the bonuses. Looks like my laptop steam account will get a few nice presents :). (already own all the games in the THQ except SR3 on my main account).

Generally with Humble Bundles if you buy before the bonuses are released you get them regardless of whether you beat the average or not. I didn't beat the average (because I already had SR3) and I got TQ and the RFA DLC.

That hasn't been the case with the recent indie bundles IIRC. You had to beat the average to get the games added later. It's not been like that evey time though.

I bought this, then realised I already own everything in it. I made the mistake of redeeming the main code on steam hoping for giftable copies but they don't do that.

How should I proceed to give away the rest of the codes?

    • FWIW StatCounter has been trash for over 25+ years! Back in the day (circa 2000 and GeoCities pre-Blogger era), it was useful to paste a number on your webpage indicating how many visitors you had. In the ensuing 25+ years, they've grown in reputation and changed their ways... but their overall consumer value has remained abysmal. Serious marketing agencies only cite StatCounter when there's literally no other sources available to support any marketing claims! They are the absolute lowest threshold serious companies use to push any sort of narrative about this-or-that happening. Besides their credibility being what it is, they are forever subject to quality issues. They're so bad that my DNS-level ad-filter prevents me from even viewing their main website! HA!
    • Microsoft had to shut down 70+ GitHub repos after getting hacked, brings back some by Aditya Tiwari The self-replicating malware campaign known as Miasma took the open-source world by storm. It was reported that almost 73 Microsoft GitHub repositories were infected by the worm and had to be temporarily shut down to determine how attackers compromised projects and stuffed password-stealing malware in the code. These GitHub repos span across different organizations, including Microsoft Azure, Azure-Samples, Microsoft, and MicrosoftDocs. The malware enabled attackers to steal passwords and credentials when compromised tools were opened in popular AI coding apps, including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, VS Code, and Cursor. The security firm Cloudsmith, malware analysis site OpenSourceMalware, and 404 Media were among the first to report the hack. For background, Miasma is a variant of the Mini Shai-Hulud worm, open-sourced by the threat group TeamPCP. It started its journey by compromising a Red Hat employee's GitHub account to attack the @redhat-cloud-services npm namespace. Earlier this month, Microsoft Threat Intelligence reported that the Miasma attackers published 32 malicious packages across more than 90 versions under the @redhat-cloud-services npm scope to steal cloud credentials. The worm didn't take long to start attacking source repos directly rather than package registries. It is known to skip the npm registry entirely for several targets and plant malicious code straight into public repos like "icflorescu/mantine-datatable." The delivery approach was designed to weaponize AI coding tools. Miasma's malicious payload embedded into projects can trigger automatic code execution when the infected repo is opened in an AI coding tool or IDE. The list of affected projects includes "durabletask", a Python package compromised by TeamPCP a month earlier to deliver an information stealer designed for Linux systems. That said, Microsoft has begun restoring some repos affected by the malware campaign, The Hacker News reports. A company spokesperson stated the following: Microsoft will continue to investigate the attack. It has notified a small number of customers who may have removed their content from the affected repos. The company will reach out to customers again through established support channels "if anything further is identified that requires customer action."
    • Why is Opera doing this notification at all? They have their own extension store. They don't have to obey anything dictated by Google. Others like Brave and Vivaldi that rely on Chrome's extension store, not so much. Firefox is entirely separate as well with its own extensions store. I honestly don't understand why entire world is just insisting on Chrome. Like, why? It's a stupid fat browser with barely any functionality. But sure, it's installed on everything by default. I don't understand how people even use web that's filled with tracking garbage and ads all over the place.
