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?

    • Meta will now use data from outside businesses to personalize AI responses by David Uzondu In an update that's rolling out globally (except in a handful of countries), Meta will use your data from outside businesses to personalize your AI responses and your primary feeds. Meta already utilizes your shopping activity to target ads, but the company now plans to expand this tracking to personalize other "parts of your experience" like feed algorithms and AI assistant chats. The company is replacing the two settings ("Your activity off Meta technologies" and "Activity from other businesses") that currently let you disconnect off-platform activity with a single, renamed setting called Activity from other businesses. If you don't want Meta to manipulate your feed and AI responses using your outside history, you can just turn the Activity from other businesses setting off in your account settings. This toggle resides within your Accounts Center, applying your choice to every connected profile. Turning this off will not stop companies from sending your data to Meta. The company will still collect your web interactions, but it only uses them to train products, while still accessing external accounts you connect. When The Verge spoke to Meta spokesperson, Emil Vazquez, the representative said that this update will exclude several locations at launch including the European region, the UK, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, South Korea, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Kenya. The new update comes at a time when the social media giant is recovering from a major PR disaster involving generative AI. Last week, there was a huge security issue on Instagram where attackers figured out a way to exploit a prompt injection vulnerability. Hackers managed to trick Meta AI into handing over account ownership (even if the victim had 2FA enabled). Some of the affected accounts include the dormant Obama White House profile, cosmetics brand Sephora, the Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force, and security researcher Jane Manchun Wong. Internally, the company also had to scale back plans on its Model Capability Initiative (MCI), an employee-monitoring program designed to train corporate AI models by recording worker keystrokes and screen activity, after employees raised privacy concerns and complained about severe battery life drain.
    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
