THQ Humble Bundle

[Elixer]

You want to support THQ? Pre-order this....

$99. I wonder how much of that goes to THQ ?

 

[Maximilian]

Im in for one Already own coh stuff but its probably worth it for SR3/darksiders.

If you buy it digitally 70% of it since they own Relic.

I think COH and the expansions are an awesome games. In my opinion, they are one of the best RTS ever.

Pick'em up. You won't regret it.

Up till now, I never even had the add-ons. Only the base game.

 

[dighn]

always wanted to play Company of Heroes. The other ones look pretty interesting too. Just paid the default amount.

I'm a big RTS fan, and I would rate CoH in the top 3 with no doubt. This humble bundle is a must for anyone who like RTS games and haven't played CoH yet. It is easily worth 10x the average price.

 

[JimmyH]

Had most of these already but damn that deal is too hot to pass up! Hope they stay in business as CoH is one of best RTS series out there.

Me too. I already own all those games, but I bought a couple copies for my friends who are too poor/don't have any money to spend on vidya right now.

And I'd even do it again. Epic bundle.

 

[EDUSAN]

yeah, great bundle

bought 2 above average and im trying to convince all my friends with a steam account to buy them too

isnt THQ a publisher or something like that? im confused like... whats the impact in THQ going broke? wouldnt the developers of the games continue with the franchises and find someone else to publish them? or all the franchises die with THQ?

During bankruptcy, THQ would likely sell off any marketable franchise to the highest bidder. That new publisher is unlikely to use the same developer, and they often just sit on the franchise preferring to keep someone else from having it and competing with their offerings. EA is known to do this, but so is Atari.

You'd have to be functionally retarded not to buy this bundle.

I laughed so hard at this comment, I had to quote.

 

[PowerYoga]

but i already have all the games. >_>

 

[Jadow]

spent 2 bucks, one for me, one for brother in law.

 

[Buddyd]

I have most of the included games already but if they add Supreme Commander Gold to the list all of my steam friends will be in for a surprise.

 

[Jodell88]

I found it interesting that there are people that are complaining about this humble bundle being too restrictive such as Ars Technica's Kyle Orland.

I already own pretty much all of these games, but I'll probably buy it. I've been meaning to set up a secondary Steam account that I can dedicate to a HTPC.

People look at it as "yay! cheap games!" when it should be looked at as 'How much can I give to charity?'

Hopefully that wouldn't happen. I don't care what happens to THQ, as long as they could sell Relic to somebody else so I could get more CoH and Dawn of war. I think Relic would be strong enough to get a different publisher and keep on going

You should care some about what happens to THQ. Them disappearing further solidifies EA, Activision, and Ubisoft and the business model they represent as the way to do business in gaming development.

 

[PowerYoga]

It sucks because THQ makes some of my favorite games. EA and Activision make modern combat football shooter man operations 16 and 17 with 15 DLCs each.

The publisher has a huge influence on the studio. Just look at what EA has done to the likes of Westwood and Bioware. Both were awesome studios now producing dumbed down games or just shit.

If I ever become a legit salesman, this is the line I'll use to get people to buy my products.

"This deal is so amazing, you'd have to be functionally retarded not to buy it!"

 

[sygyzy]

I donated more than enough to get Saints Row The Third but I already own it so if you really can't afford the $6 but donate more than $1 and show me a screenshot, I'll give you my key. And now, Steam won't allow me to redeem the code and store it as a gift key so I'll just give you the code in an email.

Since THQ does pretty much the same crap, see Homefront, day 1 DLC etc etc it doesn't really matter. Relic being the only possible exception. But COH is loaded with preorder BS and DLC as well so I don't think I'll buy until months after release anyway, if at all. Could turn out crap for all we know
I don't buy big publisher games anyway so don't really care what happen to any of them.

nvm...
