Guys?!

Ah screw it, I''ll give as much to charity as possible. That'll show 'em!

Check the "Yes, send me a gift code." box in step 4 of the purchase. They'll email you a gift URL which you can send to someone whenever.

stan 117

I'm having problems too - this is from their twitter account:

Humble Bundle ‏@humble 14m
We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with PayPal. We will get to the bottom of it soon!

ozmo

Is there normally a Paypal button - not seeing it anywhere - just google checkout and credit card etc. ta.

Eoin

I paid by paypal - could it be an adblocker causing a problem?

Took a while for the order to go through, but it's sorted now.

Ahh - its back again - was gone - even refreshing page didnt show it - must have been while they were having the paypal difficulites you mentioned.

Great deal, although you have to wonder if EA are in trouble launching a deal like this, they're not usually known for their generosity.

Their Origin service has gotten nowhere and they've had major disasters like Dead Space 3, Star Wars: TOR, and from what I hear Plants versus Zombies 2 is being taken apart online due to its in-app purchases model.

Remember the humble bundle is meant to be for "humble" Indie devs and not major software companies.
In fact the last major that did this on Humble was THQ and look what happened to them

Akrasia

At this stage of the life cycle of games like Battlefield 3, they're not gonna sell many new versions of the game, however, if they give the basic version of the game away for free, they will guarantee that a certain percentage will spend money on the premium content/dlc and shortcuts to access the unlocks for kits and vehicles quickly.

It makes perfect sense to give away these games for free, especially when there's a sequel about to be launched

muppetkiller

I was thinking the same...they will lose very little sales on this as most people who wanted these games bought them last year, or in other sales. I had all but Deadspace 3 and Medal of Honor, so will just give the other keys away.

Alanstrainor

Was only browsing Steam for a game or two when my bro got in touch and told me about this. By the sounds of it its a great selection of games. And its for charity too. Awesome.

billius

purchased!! nice one OP!!

All proceeds go to charity, not EA.

If you're on the fence about it, http://i.imgur.com/dHgtwGC.png these are supposedly going to be added in later on if you beat the average.

Also, all the keys are separate, so you can give away ones you already own which is surprisingly nice of EA.

Monotype

@faolteam You must have ticked the box for sending it as a give. Just click on the link that they give you and fill in your own email address.

You can update your order with more and it will add it onto the amount you already paid

You should definitely report him, there has to be some rule against what he's doing, taking money away from charity or something like that.

I've done so, but can't hurt if others do the same. Breaks adverts' own rule against Profiteering.

Hehe... I know that feeling. Steam Summer Sale came and I resisted buying anything... because I had everything already... still mostly grey.

I held out during the Steam sale but this is too good to turn up. I've never bought a Humble Bundle deal before.

I have a few of the games already and I'll gift the keys to a friend. If I select for myself, can I still gift the keys I already have or should I just select Send as Gift?

Select it for yourself. You can use some of the keys and gift the rest to your friend.

Monotype

You get a list of keys, one for each game (two for the ones with both steam and origin). Just use whichever ones you want and email the ones you want to give away.

this might be the most uninformed post about gaming I've read!

• If they were in trouble why would they be giving their games away to charity?
• DS3 didnt do as well as expected but wasnt a disastor, MOH was a disastor
• SWTOR is doing fantastic since the FTP move
• THQ only did the humble bundle AS they were going under, trying to raise funds

...sigh

Nollog

There's a way to get origin keys from the steam keys, meaning you get 2 origin copies and 1 steam copy of the games with steam keys, which is hilarious.

Tippex

just bought this eventhough I have 3 of the games.
