But it's ea

They're finally trying to be a good company. 

I won't say "They'll have to try harder on this one"

The fact everything goes to charity is AWESOME

Now they just need Linux support and stop the sucking, and I'd like them.7

 

 

#PROTIP: 

Put the steam keys on steamgifts.com , you'll get origin versions anyway

[Theo]

Well il buy it

[CoolBeans]

Another, epic humble bundle. Awesome!

[M-ursu]

EA!

[Liam-McShane]

It's so uppsetting when you have the majority of these already . First world problems 

[tom564]

One good thing EA has done. It looks like they are not accepting any money themselves for it either

[rashdanml]

Already have most of it on Steam, as well as BF3 on Origin. Only real benefit is Dead Space 3 for me. I'll pass.

 

Disappointed that Humble has lost most of its essence since it used to be all about Indie games and cross-platform games.

They still do indie games but they are running out of Devs that want to participate i think, having large publishers do this is a good thing.

Wasn't the whole point of the Humble Bundle to be able to support a charity? As long as I can put the money to charity, I think they have retained most of it's core values.

Really cool. Got it.

[Liam-McShane]

Day one buyer? 

No. Never a day one buyer. Just picked them up when they were on sale.

"Early bundles featured independently developed, multi-platform games (including Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms) provided without digital rights management (DRM)."

 

DRM-free was pretty important, alongside supporting indie developers and charity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humble_Bundle Steam codes are only provided as an additional thing for people who wanted to have the games on Steam (I don't blame them, Steam is an acceptable form of DRM). Later bundles forced Steam activation, iirc, for games that weren't DRM-free.

[wkronbaek]

Well besides of this not having linux support (I find it dissapointing but only thing is a won't give money to devs who don't make linux copies, I'll still buy the bundle) They would've made an origin bundle like this from the start if they could get EA Convinced. Only 1 problem, why the fuck would EA do this? This seems very awesome.

 

DRM Free is gone which is dissapointing, But tbh i don't really give a shit about DRM. Seems to work anyways lol.

I see. Well, running a service like Humble Bundle isn't cheap. Got to get the money somehow, I guess =/

[Kirihuna]

Picked up for BF3, DS3, and Crysis 2 ME.

 

For $5, not bad.

[MetalLobster]

No. Never a day one buyer. Just picked them up when they were on sale. 

Well, you can always gift the extra codes. "Friends give friends good games" - me 

[ComputerNoob]

Ea is trying to be awesome! good job ea

[DirkaFat]

Why did EA get so much hate in the first place? What did they do? I'm trying not to hate a company because everyone else does, so...

[MetalLobster]

Well for one, when Origin launched, it was crap. Also, the whole Sim City situation. 

 

That's all I know. There are probably 100 more reasons people don't like EA
