I already emailed them.

Also tried the humble bundle key resender but no joy.

Ryaner

Key popped up instantly for me. Definitely a great bundle.
I remember buying the first one for 1 cent as I thought it was a joke.

kendragon

Dont the humble bundles normally add more games as it gets closer to the deadline? Wonder if they will do it for this bundle.

erkifino

Cheers OP!
Like the rest of indiegala/humblebundles I buy but never get round to playing!

jayteecork

On the Hot Uk deals there's a load also waiting on keys so i'll just have to be patient. They're selling 100 a minute or a second or something.

GhostInTheRuins

I already had metro, but this is great value. Now I just have to free up some disc space to install some of these.

lindtee

Didn't get a code immediately either:( Paypal transaction has gone through though. Where is the code resender? Son is sitting here beside me, and won't budge til the code comes through.......

mayordenis

here's the link to the resender, but I guess there's a problem of some description and it's a matter of playing the waiting game

They're backed up, you probably won't get the keys till tomorrow.

Your son should be in bed by now anyway.

GhostInTheRuins

Did ye that didn't get the codes emailed you not just click the url that's given to you once you pay for it? I've still not got an email with the codes, but I'm downloading saints row as we speak. Just click that link and you're brought to a page with your codes on it.

Tar.Aldarion

whenever I pay I get a link to the bundle, i don't have to wait for the email, its just on the payment screen.


Anyway, GREAT bundle

HMS

$1! I may never play the games but cant resist at that price.

Ordered at 10:20pm, followed the link to get the key, and was down loading from steam about a minute later. But its a BIG download (I think steam said 23GB).

Yawns

Just ordered. Rather than checking email I just followed the links on screen and redeemed my steam codes.

I did get it a few minutes ago:cool: And my 14 year old is now downloading the games and will be kicked up to bed soon.

jayteecork

Still no sign of my keys

jayteecork

Yes, unless you beat the average you get a separate one for saint's row

TheReverend

I can see S.T.A.L.K.E.R being added, and maybe Space Marine.

THQ are in big financial trouble so please give most of the money to them we need CoH2 and Metro 2 :P

charlie_says

Thanks OP....

Serious value bargain alert goodness!

Didn't realise this until I read a few threads online. Shame really...
Might pick a second one and gift it...

Yeah, because THQ not being able to run their business effectively is a much more worthy cause than Child's Play or the Red Cross. I always give a small bit of the purchase price to the developers and HIB themselves but I always weight it towards charity.

I really hope that emoticon at the end means you're just making a very poorly judged joke but I have my doubts.

jayteecork

Guys another company will pick up company of heroes anyway but it's never nice to see a company go under.

All stems from that u draw yoke apparently.

Noxin

Nice one OP.

Great deal. Got my keys straight away!

Standard Toaster

Zoink!

Cheers OP!

I dont want to sound preachy, but if you are going to pay $1 for this it would probably be better served if you just pirated the games.

By the time Paypal take their cut your talking about 50-60c going to whoever you decided.


Anywho, Saints Row 3 was a really fun game, I highly recommend trying it out.

As for the split, I think whatever way you split it, its a decent cause.

Charities: don't need to explain these

THQ: people have made the argument that they are a struggling company and why do they deserve your money more than the charities, I'm sure this isn't there main goal, and regardless of what their goal is, by putting up their products like this they are going to raise good money for these charities. I don't see any other studios doing anything?

HumbleBundle: Well they facilitate these things, with out them there would be no bundles.

Tar.Aldarion

And if hundreds of thousands send that amount? not too trivial then!

Currently it's made over 2 million, woah!

Where do you actually download the games from? Does it provide a link or do you have to go install Steam etc and download from there?

You will need to install steam and download from there.

Why are you so dismissive?

If you are looking at it in terms of who is deserving of the money for what you are paying for then why shouldn't someone weight it towards THQ? There's nothing stopping anyone making a 100% donation to these charities who are completely unrelated to whats on offer.

Adyx

If I already have one or more of these games on Steam, can I gift the keys I get in this bundle?

No (see explanation here). You can gift the entire bundle by purchasing another one, but bundles cannot be split (according to their site anyway).

Thanks OP, bought it.. don't even bloody play games :P

It's such a bargain this part is largely irrelevant

Thanks OP.

Love Company of Heroes but haven't been able to get my copy to work on my windows 7 machine.

Hopefully will have more luck with this copy.

worth a punt anyway for $1

The PayPal transaction fee is 30c, which was a big part of them going away from offering the option of paying 1c for a bundle.

I always try to chip in a little more but you have to remember plenty of people will have at least one if not more of the games in the bundles to begin with, so it's not comparing apples with apples - in this bundle the only 'new' games for me were Red Faction, Darksiders and Saint's Row 3.

It's definitely a whole hell of alot better than pirating on a lot of levels to even give a dollar, that was an incredibly incendiary thing to say.

They could possibly get it lower - if they're set up to use Paypal micropayments the fee is 5% + $0.05, so on $1 would only cost them 10c instead of 32.9c.

MisterAnarchy

Great bargain ,will reinvigorate my interest in PC gaming again.
The price of console games in comparison is crazy,I dont know how people afford it,especially with newer games becoming shorter and shorter.

How is it? People paying a dollar are clogging up the key delivery system and lowering the average price, thus lowering the price for the premium content sr3. For roughly €0.50, split 4 ways? not too much in it in my opinion

Jonny7

It's a dollar for all these games, pirating them would be too much hassle in comparison.

However they are getting an average of 5 dollars 50 odd because they've included Saints Row 3 at the extra.. a clever move.

If they priced it at 10 dollars minimum it wouldn't be generating anywhere close to the hype.

This deal is good for everyone, the customer, THQ, the charities, paypal, humble bundle, everyone. The only thing that takes a hit is THQ future sales and their image.. but lets face it, they are up **** creek which is why they are taking these drastic measures.

So THQ is getting people who never play games to hand over money one must assume that this promotion is a success.

Well presumably HB and THQ decided it was worth it.

As for "premium content", I wish I'd only payed the minimum, having just hit a game ending bug in SR3.

Squidgy Black

Bought the bundle incl. Saints Row 3, can't run it on the laptop so I think now's the perfect excuse to start building my desktop or get an alienware!
