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?

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
    • A few years ago walmart had the 512 models on clearance for $35. I bought 3 of them. I should have purchased more.
    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
