Best bundle yet IMO

Well, as it appears at the moment, nothing is going to change with regards to the indie/cross-platform/DRM-free bundles. The only difference is that we might see oddball bundles like this on occasion as well. I really can’t see many game publishers being so desperate to go this route like THQ was.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Microsoft shaked a few hands there and cut some back room exclusive deal. It’s not beneath them at all.

Thanks :)

You wouldn’t believe the opportunities here. It’s mad. And pretty ones too.

You want ideas? Why. I don’t even know how you stand on this matter. I don’t know you. All you have been doing is whining about my moaning.

So here’s an idea:

Don’t buy from Humble Bundle, not even $1. Don’t buy from THQ, not even one game. Oh, and about DRM. DRM is bad. Bad DRM, bad! So don’t buy games with DRM. We also don’t like big Ubisoft. Don’t buy Ubisoft games. And Origin is a piece of crap, don’t buy Origin games.

The above is as much absurd as your idea that you can congregate tenths of thousands of consumers into buying the Humble Bundle at $1 without “Moaning, whining, bitching, complaining, whinging, pissing, crying” about it on public discussion groups. Impromptu.

But hey, don’t let my whining and moaning discourage you from having a spontaneous baby one day.

The thing is that it’ll get talked to death and nothing will get done. Then it’ll happen again and the same thing will happen, everyone that doesn’t like it will complain yet do nothing else and no one but them will listen.

You don’t like my idea? Cool. Come up with one of your own and implement it. Just do something because nothing comes from doing nothing and as far as Humble is concerned, nothing is exactly what is being done.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve heard it all before.
Discussing, forming opinions and then doing something about it isn’t your type. You like action movies.

Sorry. But I still believe in discussing and debating, forming and trashing opinions. I like drama.

Well poo. I always thought it was just a bunch of titles that Valve grabbed and offered them in the bundle. Colour me educated!

Moaning, whining, bitching, complaining, whinging, pissing, crying, etc, etc, etc. It all adds up to bellyaching fruitlessly to anyone that’ll listen and even to those that could give a rat’s ass. What good do you think it’s going to do? Answer my question rather than coming over all emo about how I phrased it. Do you think that THQ or Humble is going to give a damn about ten thousand gamers COMPLAINING (there, happy?) about what they do? Hell no. Want to make them care? Then do something meaningful. In the terms I grew up with, put up or shut up.
