The Humble Origin Bundle

[Air tree]

Also i'm glad they give you steam keys for the games that are still on steam.

[Matsy]

Awesome!

I wonder if EA deserves £0.01 though, not interested in steam keys.

[stevv]

nice.  what happens with games if you already own them?  can you give it away?

[defunkt]

Wow. Sims 3 has sold me. Been wanting that game for a while.

[DirkaFat]

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 

Oh. For me Origin was alright. All I had to do was click at the game launched. 

[Liam-McShane]

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

I already have on facebook  :P

EA are donating 100% of their sale revenue to charity.

[Loe]

I am so glad I for once had money to buy a bundle, and one as epic as this!

 

Although technically I have 3 copies of Mirror's Edge now.

 

Already had it and now I have it for origin and one spare key :P

 

Thanks for sharing :D

Anyone else know why EA get's a lot of hate? I feel like I'm in the dark here.

If Humble gives separate codes for each game, yes. Sometimes, they give a single code for a group of games, in which case, only the games you don't own are activated, rest are discarded.

Ah ok fair enough then, bought.

Needed Mirrors edge, dead space 1+3 and burnout is apparently pretty good.

Are the steam and origin versions exactly the same?

[tom564]

Anyone just want bf3?

[Damien C]

Have just got all the games on it, and whilst I do have most of them already there was some I didn't so I will just give the extra codes to friends.

[zeiferlance]

perfect timing! it's payday!!!

[MetalLobster]

They do have separate codes for each game. 

[Matsy]

yup

 

Kay thanks, downloading mirrors edge  :D

Do you get any advantage by downloading through steam or origin, would prefer to just download it DRM free from humble bundle and backing up the install file on my storage drive ;p

[Kirihuna]

Personally, I don't hate EA. Maybe I'm one of few. I bought most EA games new (Battlefield, FIFA, NHL, etc), so I already had the code included. Never bought an Origin game before today.

 

I mean, SW:TOR is a disaster, but that's it.

 

I dislike Activision more than EA tbh.

It's Origin only.

[Matsy]

It's Origin only.

 

Its origin only what? all of the non pay more than average are steam apart from dead space 3.

Surely they have a DRM free humble bundle version at least for the steam ones?

[rashdanml]

Its origin only what?

You have to activate it through Origin or Steam (where applicable). No DRM-free download. Which also implies a forced $1 minimum price.

Well thats stupid........

So say if you paid $0.01, you get...nothing? should say that on the page...

Ah, I was wrong.

 

All but Dead Space 3, BF3, and Sims are on Steam. Those three are Origin only.

If you pay less than $1, you get the soundtracks. Assuming the past repeats itself.

Does BF3 come as its own code?? I already have it so I will give it to my friend
