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?

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
