Title: Games - Humble Bundle
Post by: Mumbling on August 14, 2013, 04:15:36 PM
I just got myself tons of awesome games, donating all the money I paid to charity. Not only is this a great way to get something for yourself while supporting charity, it's also just here for a short time...

Go go! Get those 6 (or more) games and soundtracks for like $1 :p

I've known about this for quite some time. I forget how long it's been going for. They have a bundle going for some time, then they stop. Then they come back with a new bundle. So if you don't like the current bundle, you can check back at a later date.

Yeah! It's a pretty good deal if you ask me :) I've gotten the game Don't Starve from the website before (just one game). It's very reliable :)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.  This is certainly a good deal and it goes to a good cause.

That's pretty darn cool! I'd be jumping at that bundle if 1). I had a decent enough machine to run the bloody things :p and 2). I didn't have 4 out of 6 of those games already. Still, might have to keep my eye on this site. Thanks for the heads up! :D

Well getting stuff that cheap means there are a ton of stuff wrong with the games CDs and so on. And they're probably beat up as well.

They're keys for digital games on Origin and Steam, Petrie85.
I really wish I could buy these, but sadly I lack a bank card and a computer with enough power to run them decently.

Ah in that case I shall look into it. I have 13 days left. And can't you use prepaid credit cards to get these items?

Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions. Humble Bundles have been going on for a few years and they raised a ton of money doing so. If the games were really as bad as you had originally assumed, do you really think the bundles would have been so successful?

Yeah you receive keys for a digital download. New games barely get hard copies (as in CDs) anymore. I've bought the current humble bundle and all games I've played so far are working smoothly :) You can pay with credit card or Paypal, there are also several other options.

@ Justin: Maybe, since this is a good deal, you may want to get the bundle after all and download the games once you have a better pc? ^^
